Kia Mohave: Korean domestic market Borrego

Kia Mohave

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.

    Korean Range Rover. The V8 might be too big for Peninsular … but perhaps readers from East Malaysia can give some input?

    overall looks ok….except the wood finishing….looks a bit cheap there….maybe better upmarket wood instead and darker tone.

    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?
