The Kia Borrego is a new SUV that was designed to attract attention to its styling while offering new levels of refinement, comfort, and convenience with a list of standard features for unsurpassed luxury.
There is an expansive interior with plenty of room for family, friends, and any other cargo necessary for a driving adventure.
Standard three-row seating for seven gives everyone enough room for people to stretch out comfortably. Available rear air-conditioning keeps everyone cool, whether it's fussy kids or grumpy in-laws.
Interior features include an USB port for your MP-3 player, a rear entertainment system and Sirius Satellite radio. The navigation and back-up warning system keep the driver alert and informed. The six-speed automatic transmission helps improve the 4.6L 32 Valve DOHC V8 engine fuel efficiency. The 110-volt outlet provides power to a laptop computer, DVD player, or anything else you might bring along.
The Borrego is offered either in 2- or 4-wheel drive, with class-leading towing capacity of 7,500 pounds. This strength compares approvingly with Ford and General Motors products.
Borrego has an array of safety features like, a traction control system, antilock breaking system with brake assistance, and electronic stability control, which all adapt automatically to help maintain control on or off the road. With Downhill Assistance Control and Hill Assistance Start, steep and slippery hills are no match for the Borrego's sure-footed agility. Passive features such as dual front airbags with rollover sensors and front seat-mounted side airbags are there for protection.
But even with these features, the Borrego ride was a little bumpy and rough on changing roads and seemed to need a little more steering attention on sharp curves.
The Borrego I drove was fully loaded and the suggested retail price was listed as $39,295. The provided fuel economy estimate was 15 mpg in city and 20 mpg highway.
The weather was bad in North Texas the week I drove the Borrego. But even with icy streets and a hard blowing north wind, the Borrego managed to get better than the estimated gas mileage.
