|
The seven-passenger Kia SUV was finally presented at the Detroit Auto Show last week after lot of rumors and leaks- the SUV features the company鈥檚 first ever V8 engine (it is worth mentioning that the engine is the same with the one of the 2009 Genesis from Hyundai).
The vehicle is built on a platform with a wheelbase of 114.0 inches, an overall length of 192.1 inches and overall width of 75.4 inches, Borrego will compete to the mid size SUV category vehicles. The body-on-frame construction and muscular exterior sit on fully independent front and rear suspension matched with coil-over springs. On the inside, the car comes up with a sliding second row for easy access to the third row, as well as fold-flat second and third row seats to optimize cargo space and an in-dash six-disc CD changer powered by an Infinity audio system.
Even though, final horsepower figures where not made public by Kia we can take into consideration that the entry level for Genesis was an estimated 290hp engine and 264 pound-feet of torque and probably, the Borrego will be presented with similar power features. Safety elements include among other full-length side curtain airbags for all three rows, four-wheel disc brakes with an anti lock brake system, electronic brake distribution, electronic stability control and a tire pressure monitoring system.
