Kia revealed the Borrego SUV at this year’s North American International Auto Show. Borrego is a midsize SUV that packs Kia’s first-ever V-8 engine.
Exterior styling is derived from the Mesa concept shown at the 2005 North American International Auto Show. Inside, Borrego offers luxury features like Sirius satellite radio, a 600 watt Infinity audio system with USB and iPod support, and Kia’s first DVD-based navigation system.
The V-8 is claimed to produce more than 300 horsepower and displaces 4.6-liters. The V-8 powered Borrego should be able to tow 7500 pounds and will be offered with two- or four-wheel-drive. A 3.8-liter V-6 engine will also be offered for those who don’t require V-8 power.
