Kia Borrego

The Kia Mohave, marketed in South Korea, North America and China as the Kia Borrego, is a sport utility vehicle manufactured by the South Korean manufacturer Kia. The vehicle debuted in 2008 in the South Korean and U. S. markets. The Kia Borrego is named after Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in California; Borrego means "bighorned sheep" which can be found in the state park.
The production model, designed by automotive designer Peter Schreyer, former chief designer for Audi, was introduced at the 2008 North American International Auto Show. The vehicle was originally shown as a concept car under the Kia Mesa name at the 2005 North American International Auto Show and went on sale in Korea as the Mohave prior to its release in the United States. The United States version of the Mohave was renamed Borrego, due to the Native American tribe of the same name. In the U. S, the Borrego was discontinued in the middle of the singular 2009 model year, after lower than expected sales and rising oil/petrol prices, though certain U. S. territories received a small allotment of V6 models sold until 2014. Kia, however, still continued selling the Borrego in Canada, meaning the Borrego was a Canada-only nameplate from 2010–2011. The Telluride would eventually fill this slot for the 2020 model year, serving as the successor to the Borrego. Domestic versions of the Mohave do not wear any Kia badges, instead using a version of the Kia Opirus's logo, due to their status as Kia's flagship models....
