KIA Mohave - the largest passenger car in the model range of the brand. The car was presented in 2008 at the Detroit Auto Show. Initially, the model was intended exclusively for the US market, where it is also known as the KIA Borrego, but then the company decided to start deliveries to the former CIS countries.

The transmission of the all-wheel drive KIA Mohave has a lowering row, the body is attached to the frame, the ground clearance is 217 mm, but the model does not have mechanical locks, they are only simulated by electronics.
