Borrego SUV tests Kia against crossover rivals
The Borrego introduces a truck based Kia SUV with a new platform. It offers a V six engine with solid power and decent fuel economy but rides less refined than crossovers due to its heavy 4200 pound weight. The test notes strong safety gear, generous space, tidy turning, and low optional features like a smaller navigation screen. Kia aims for 12000 Borrego sales this year.
