    The Shark is better looking and has genuinely interesting tech innovations. It lives up to the hype and I can't wait to get mine. Kia made us wait for the Tasman and omg... apart from the interior the rest of it is just a deal breaker.

    I feel like this Ute had so much potential
    I don't know this 2.2 engine, but having driven a 2 litre amarok with an 8 speed auto for the last 7 years and nearly 200000km on the clock, I don't think the smaller engine is the worst thing in the world. Maybe suiting people that aren't necessarily towing massive caravans, remote off-roading and any "hardcore" off roaring.
    I do think the 350kg tow ball weight and 3.5t towing is a bit ambitious.
    The interior looks likes a nice place to be, which is good because it means you can't see the exterior.
    It's a horrendously awful looking vehicle, I feel like a few small changes could make it look alright, but as is, kinda sucks.
    I do hope they work out a few issues, as more daul cab Ute's in the market wouldn't hurt

      The Hyundai/Kia ‘R’ 2.2L diesel has been around since 2009 and is also very reliable and a-lot smoother than the 4jj1/3 and happier to rev.

    I think I'm alone, but I like the way the sandy coloured one looks. It looks terrible in all black, so it was an odd choice to choose black as the launch colour. My biggest complaint is the power and torque figures (especially torque). It's probably quite liveable, but not very competitive and I would have thought it needed to outdo the competition in order to get decent market share. All in all, I imagine we'll see more BYD Sharks on the road than this thing

    The looks of this fugly thing baffle me. Especially when you consider the Hyundai Santa Cruz. Why don't they bring that to Australia? I think it would go very well.

      I have never been able to fathom why the Santa Cruz is not for sale in this part of the world, a slightly smaller ute with a nice body style for the suburban drivers.

    This thing better be way cheaper than the competition if they want to get in the door.and compete with Ford & Toyota. The styling looks ugly but definitely sets it apart in the looks department. You'll get noticed alright.... now if that is a good or bad thing remains to be seen.

    I'm surprised they didn't go with something like their D6JA 3L V6 turbo diesel which is something like 204kw and 588nm. It's actually a shame because it looks like some great thought has gone into many areas of the car, but I think the exterier looks and the engine will turn off a LOT of people.

    Fascia reminded me the original 80's Nissan Pathfinder/Terrano that's gone terribly wrong.
    All Kia needs to upgrade immediately is that fascia because the rest isn't all that bad actually.

    It's bloody impressive that they managed to make a bakkie/ute that looks like a fiat multipla with alcohol fetal syndrome. Well done Kia, you've made the world's ugliest car. At this point I'd buy a GWM Shanghai cannon, a BYD shark or literally anything else

    The interior in this thing looks amazing. I really can’t get my head around why they released it with an exterior soo ugly. As much as I love the 2.2 L diesel in the Palisade, It is still underpowered compared to the rivals.

  • @Gogga7
    @Gogga7 27 днів тому +2

    No, just no. Its the ugliest ute on the market, but thats not the only thing that bothers me. A 2.2td producing 440nm of torque? No, just, no. Kia hyped this thing, and this is what we get? After all that, its still a Kia. Calling it now, will be up there with the worst selling utes over the next 24months.

    front headlights are impractical … too close, no, right on the edges of fenders which are prone to everything in offroad situations as well as on road (kangaroo) so a specifically designed bull bar is a must but even then not great

    Interior and versatility will help sell this car. This is THE best looking interior for a bakkie EVER made. What a fantastic design job. Toyota interior looks trash compared to Ford. ford looks trash compared to this. Bravo Kia.
    Exterior styling? well 🤷🏽‍♂️ let’s just say, given a chance between this and ford ranger or any other bakkie tbh, I would actually take this. 600nm is impressive.
    I believe this will be one on “well in person it’s not so bad” kinda deal

    I just cant comprehend why the fuck they wouldn't use the front end of the Sorento. The side wheel flares as ugly as sin that they are, the storage is nice but are not actually innovative, it's been done before.
    Overall the entire exterior looks like a cheap Chinese knockoff and just screams for me to never consider buying one. I would sooner own a Mahindra
