Product Overview

Kia Mohave (chassis code HM) is a large SUV in production from 2008 to 2016. It was available with a range of V6 and V8 engines that displaced 2.9 to 4.6 liters. Kia also marketed the Mohave as Kia Borrego in select markets.
One of the few true SUVs to have come out of South Korea, the Kia Mohave used some of the largest engines available from that East Asian country. Kia also equipped the vehicle with a sophisticated suspension setup and good automatic transmissions.
Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, need to think twice before pulling the trigger, however, as the Kia Borrego (Mohave) is hardly an "offroader": the suspension is setup more for comfort.
