we've always had the Suzuki SJ.
But the current one, while still small and with a small engine, is bigger and comes in a 5 door.

Vehicles like the 2 door Pajero and IQ & even the old G-Wagons are long gone

Toyota decided to re-enter that market & bring out a small low cost rugged mini 4x4.which maybe called the FJ.

Let's list them:
Jimny 5 door
Force Gurkha
Thar Roxx
Then, maybe coming...
This new Mitsubishi
The upcoming FJ.

But let's see...

Kia Tasman:
I thinks its ugly & it'll be expensive...

Your views..?
So pricing for Australia puts them on par with the likes of Ford, Isuzu, Toyota etc.
  • Tasman S 4x2 $42,990
  • Tasman SX 4x4 $54,590
  • Tasman X Line 4x4 $67,590
  • Tasman X Pro 4x4 $74,990
Still not an oil painting. But I must admit ARB released some images of their products on the Tasman and it definitely makes it look at lot better than the stock ones.
