Paul Tan on the Automotive Industry
No, Kia did not put the Kia Mojave pick-up truck concept into production. This new large SUV from Kia is called the Kia Mohave, and it is basically the Korean domestic market version of the Kia Borrego that will be sold internationally.
Like the Borrego, the Kia Mohave will be built using a ladder frame construction and will be powered by Kia’s first V8, or a smaller V6.

i tot it wear proton badge
Somehow it look like the incarnation of Sorento, with some hybrid with Ford Everest.
wow…six nuts~!!
Korean Range Rover. The V8 might be too big for Peninsular … but perhaps readers from East Malaysia can give some input?
kias going upmarket too
the front lamps look so much like the 1st gen harrier copy
agree wif KEVIN, smhow it looks like T.Prado + M.Pajero… but wer’s da back view? hahahha
nice looking car…
i like it, particularly the centre console
looks cheap
Kia? V8? not bad at all……quite impressive……..
overall looks ok….except the wood finishing….looks a bit cheap there….maybe better upmarket wood instead and darker tone.
Sorry KIA, you lose one vote from me in the ‘look’ dept.
Back may look like X3…Guessing only from the little preview of the tail lights
Maybe not

harrier, new murano, its too…
this a bit tidy look (though not a fan of korean car)
looks 4×4 in nature,
just remember the british new range rover discovery, its box ,looks slow, no radical wind cheating, honestly 4×4.
Not bad looking Large SUV by the Koreans.No advangarde design like the Sangyong..but still, they are unable to put their engineering best in the car’s engine. Soon, perhaps?
