Kia Borrego

Introduction

There was some time which was not quite long before when the automakers could not crank the SUV that is quickly enough. At the rime of 1990s as well as in the other millennium, the companies which historically also stuck to the cars that has jumped on bandwagon of SUV, developing the versions of various utility vehicles for satisfying the greedy appetites of the consumers for different monstrosities that are road-going. But now the question is that, how time has now changed, Since, the prices of fuel has continue to increase, many customers are again turning back toward the small as well as fuel-efficient cars and vehicles, so few of the automakers have also responded to this by cutting again the production of huge size of the vehicles that mainly focus on car market which has the small size of cars. On the other hand the Korean company is also betting since there is also yet little life in the midsize segment SUV as well as the stakes is also in form of new Kia Borrego of the year 2009.

At the Kia is also hoping to attract the customers to their 7 passenger, body over the frame with SUV with promise of the luxury at high value price. However, Borrego is the Kia's initial most models to provide the gadgets like the navigation of voice activated, Bluetooth, start without any key as well as the camera for the back-up. Other kind of options are like the leather seating, the highly upgraded and enhanced level of Eternity audio system as well as the rear-seat of the system of DVD entertainment that may also come as the surprise to also the shoppers who can also have formerly considered as Kia that is strictly the brand of bare bones.

However, the Borrego for the year 2009 is not just regarding the appearances as well as the gizmos; it also has chops of the true vehicle that is the sport-utility. On the other hand not similar to the crossovers, the traditional body over the frame of the SUVs is usually able to handle the rough terrain as well as boast high capacities of towing. Moreover, available with either the V6 or even the V8 engine, on the other hand Borrego comes with the standard along the features like the brake control of downhill as well as the control of the hill assist, and also the ground clearance is at par specifically for the entire segment. The drive of 4 wheel models of the drive also comes with the expected and the anticipated two-speed of the transfer case. Particularly, Borrego will also be able to tow up to the class that is also leading to about 7,500 pounds. At the other hand, the downside, the Borrego also seems to even miss their mark while it also comes few of the aspects of the performance as well as handling, so their lack of the power liftgate also makes single wonder that how the brand touting of their advanced as well as the enhanced level of features can also have the overlooked something which is highly comparatively common.

Models and Features

The Kia Borrego of the 2009 midsize of the SUV is also well available in key 2 levels of the trim, LX as well as the EX. The models of Borrego LX V6 with Rear-drive come with the standard of about 17-inch of the alloy wheels, the back-up system of warning, the highly integrated hitch of the tow, roof rails, air condition, accessories of complete power, cruise control, the complete tilt and the telescoping of the steering column as well as the 6 speaker with the audio system having the CD player or the MP3 player, with the satellite radio, having the access to USB port along with the auxiliary jack. However, EX V6 trim also adds the different foglights, with the most heated mirrors outside, the 8 way of the seat with the power driver, the 4 way of the seat with the power passenger sitting, the steering wheel which has the mounted controls of the audio as well as the dual-zone of the automated climate control.

Moreover, models of Borrego V8 are even provided in similar LX as well as the EX trim levels so they are also quite similar in the terms of the equipment, however, come to the standard through the wheels of 18-inch. The 4 wheel of the drive models those are well equipped similarly so even have the windshield the de-icer.

Options and Packages

2 engine options are well available for Kia Borrego of the 2009: the 3.8-liter of V6 which also makes the 276 HP as well as 267 torques pound feet as well as 4.6-liter of the V8 engine that creates about 337 hp with 323 ft torque. Moreover, both these engines are well available with drive of the rear-wheel as well as for the full-time of the drive for 4 wheels. All the models of 6 cylinders are perfectly paired to 5 speed of the automatic level of transmission, while V8s also get the 6 speed of the automatic.

Under The Hood

The features as well as the materials inside Kia Borrego of the year 2009 are also highly luxurious than anyone may ever expect. The modest cabin is also simple as well as perfectly refined, while the layout of the logical dash also keeps the different controls that comparatively simple to use. However, the optional seats leather, though not at the par with the Hermes handbag, well are perfectly comfortable as well as supportive. While engine of V8 has the abundance of power as well as adequate torque over low level of end, throttle also seems slow for the respond, as well as the taller ratios in upper also gears the apparently to optimize the economy of the fuel economy can also leave you to wonder when transmission will eventually shift. And even though the Borrego boasts of the V8 are more power as compared to their similarly competitors that are well equipped, their peak power also arrives high level in rev band. Moreover, perfect combination of such factors completely dulls the actual performance of the potential and that can also lead to few of the frustrating moments while trying to merge freeway or while making it the uphill at the cruising speed.
