Tougher Kia Tasman Weekender concept ute could preview future update
The Kia Tasman Weekender (WKNDR) Concept made headlines at this year's Seoul motor show and, while it hasn't been confirmed for production as yet, it could preview future design updates for the Korean's brand's first ute.
Speaking with CarExpert at a local pre-production drive of the Tasman X-Pro this week, Kia Australia's general manager for product planning Roland Rivero said the polarising design of the launch vehicle is here to stay for the time being.
'At the moment, to be honest – it's just a concept. It's a concept for enhancement of the brand… [to] further promote the Tasman,' Mr Rivero said.
'Across the lifecycle, [there is] plenty of opportunity to enhance [the Tasman] and, who knows, the facelift might draw inspiration from it, I don't know.'

Revealed at the Seoul show last month, the Kia Tasman Weekender concept – or WKNDR, as it was badged – is kitted out with hardcore off-road equipment including larger front and rear bumpers housing recovery points, all-terrain tyres, and sturdy-looking side steps.
There's also a chunky roof rack that leads into a large rear sailplane, plus what appear to be dual winches and a sizeable storage box above the rear tray. It all previews what could be possible in the realm of heavy-duty genuine accessories for the polarising new Korean dual-cab.
One of the other key changes for the Tasman WKNDR is the use of body colour for its controversial horizontal wheel-arches, which makes them appear less prominent than the dull black plastic material for which the production model attracted so much criticism.
The Weekender is finished in a matte beige paint, which closely resembles the Tan Beige colour available for the production-spec Tasman – also reminiscent of the Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series' iconic Sandy Taupe. It's augmented by lime green accents on the front and rear bumpers, as well as tie-down straps attached to the side of the Tasman's bed.
All of the chunky accessories, including the lower portion of the bed and cabin, are finished in matte grey. Weekender Concept Credit: CarExpert Tasman X-Pro prototype Credit: CarExpert Weekender Concept Credit: CarExpert Tasman X-Pro prototype Credit: CarExpert
Kia Australia has committed to making a range of genuine accessories available from the Tasman's market launch in July – Mr Rivero indicated around 40 items will be available via dealers from the get-go.
The Korean brand's local arm has collaborated with local suppliers like EGR Auto and Triple M for its catalogue of Tasman add-ons, which are said to include everything from bull bars, canopies, trays and side steps.
Mr Rivero confirmed that numerous variations of each accessory will also be available to suit different Tasman variants as well as customer needs – think standard versus heavy-duty, as well as Single versus Double Cab, and Pickup versus Cab Chassis.
Kia offers a number of wild and wacky extras for the Tasman in the Korean domestic market, but Mr Rivero said these options aren't locked in for Australia at the moment, largely due to the cost from factory.

2025 Renault Trafic price and specs
Renault has updated its mid-size Trafic commercial van, and the headline acts are additional safety gear and lightly tweaked styling. Prices are up by $490 range-wide, which means the French delivery van now starts at $49,490 before on-roads for the base Trafic SWB Pro manual and extends to $63,490 before on-roads for the full-fat Trafic LWB Crew Lifestyle. Tweaks include new Renault logos and a bulkhead with a glazed window, as well as a middle-seat work station and document holder with hidden laptop storage. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. New safety gear includes a driver attention monitor, autonomous emergency braking (AEB), a 'QR rescue code', an Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) shortcut button, and automatic bi-LED reflector-style headlights. Renault says the ADAS shortcut button provides "direct access to an on/off switch for ADAS features". It also unlocks a "perso" mode, which allows drivers to set up personal favourites to activate or deactivate certain features "at the press of a button". Similarly, the QR rescue code is a digitised barcode on the windscreen that allows first responders "quick access to the vehicle's structural and technical information in the event of a crash". Other changes include making a factory-fitted steel bulkhead standard, which features a glazed window to reduce road noise. This was previously an option on Trafic Pro van models. Weights and capacities vary by body type and are detailed below. There are two body lengths for the 2025 Trafic, with Crew variants sharing the same wheelbase and dimensions as LWB models. Crew variants offer six-seat passenger capacity, while the vans are fitted with a three-seat front bench. The 2025 Renault Trafic is currently unrated by ANCAP, though it was awarded a 'Gold' 69 per cent collision avoidance score in 2024. Standard safety equipment includes: Premium models add blind spot monitoring, tyre pressure monitoring, front and side parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control, while the Crew Lifestyle adds traffic sign recognition.

2025 GWM Haval H6: Updated RAV4 rival nears Australian launch, packing more power
A refreshed GWM Haval H6 is set to launch later this month, and it will bring a more powerful petrol engine. Government approval documents seen by CarExpert show the updated mid-size SUV will continue to be powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, but its power output has been boosted from 150kW to 170kW. Additionally, it ditches its seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission for a nine-speed dual-clutch auto. A torque figure isn't listed, but in China this powertrain produces 175kW and 385Nm. The latter represents a significant increase of 65Nm. Meantime, the Haval H6 Hybrid's 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol-electric powertrain appears unchanged. While total system outputs don't appear in the approval documents, the outgoing Haval H6 Hybrid produces 179kW and 530Nm. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Only front-wheel drive petrol and hybrid powertrains are listed in the certification documents, though GWM has previously indicated all-wheel drive hybrid versions and a plug-in hybrid powertrain will follow later in the year. Previously reported to be coming here in 2024, the facelifted Haval H6 rollout is set to start later this month. While GWM previously offered a PHEV version of the pre-facelift Haval H6 in its home market, a facelifted PHEV vehicle doesn't appear on its Chinese website. It's unclear, then, which powertrain the Haval H6 PHEV will use in our market – whether it's the heady 342kW/762Nm 1.5-litre turbo PHEV of the Haval H6 GT PHEV with its sub-5.0-second 0-100km/h time, or something more tame. In Thailand, for example, the Haval H6 PHEV features a 27.54kWh battery and total system outputs of 240kW and 530Nm. It has claimed electric-only range of 150km on the NEDC cycle, down from 180km on the more powerful H6 GT PHEV which uses a 35.4kWh battery. The updated Haval H6 adopts a new face with vertical LED daytime running lights – but largely unchanged headlights – and a grille consisting of dozens of metal-look rectangle trim pieces, rather reminiscent of the grille on the outgoing Hyundai Palisade or the upcoming MG U9. The full-width LED light bar at the rear has been replaced with separate tail-light clusters, with badging placed in between. The light bar lives on in facelifted Haval H6 models sold in Thailand. Inside, there's a new centre console design and steering wheel, while the carryover 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster now sits next to a larger 14.6-inch infotainment touchscreen. The current, third-generation Haval H6 debuted in 2020, and arrived in Australia in 2021 to replace the 2015-vintage model known in China as the H6 Coupe. A sleeker, coupe-style version of the current Haval H6, called the H6 GT, arrived here in 2022, followed by the PHEV version earlier this year. GWM Australia is adding another mid-size crossover SUV to its ranks in the third quarter of this year with the Haval H7. This shares its platform with the H6 and H6 GT but features a locking rear differential, a "light off-road cruising mode", and unique styling.
