Kia Mohave (2016 minor change)

Kia's flagship SUV, the Mohave, has been around for eight years when it was first launched in 2008 and despite its scarcity, the Mohave's becoming less of an instant classic apart from its stagnant look that's left unchanged through the years. For the year 2016, the Mohave received its minor change to keep their flagship offroader refined, recharged, and reloaded for whatever.

Although the recent minor changed remained as stagnant as ever, the revised Mohave featured a refined front grille some LEDs front and back. On the inside, it's been heavily revised with a new instrumental panel, well-trimmed seats, an updated software on the sat-nav to comply with Kia's UVO2 telematics system, and more concessions of comfort that will make the new Mohave more luxurious than ever. Besides, it's basically a seven-seater, meaning it can be used for multiple uses; be it a family mover or an escort or a good car for your next road trip with your mates. They can be folded to accommodate numerous luggage scenarios.

There's big changes occurred behind its stale exterior and that includes the all-new Euro-6 compliant V6 S2 3.0L diesel engine that generates 260ps of power and 57.1kg.m of torque, while mated with an all-new 8-speed automatic gearbox, a first for a Korean full-size SUV. When you put your foot down, the diesel engine sounds more chunkier than ever and it's as beefy as a beef jerky with all that torque more than enough to dig a moat, well almost a moat. Oh, and the fuel consumption for this new engine is around 10.7km/L.

The 2016MY Mohave is now more tech-savvy and more safer than ever thanks to added features such as Around View Monitor, Hill Ascend Control, Electronic Stability Control, Forward Collision Warning System, High Beam Assist, and much more.

The 2016MY Mohave starts at 40,250,000 Korean Won

Available colors; Snow White Pearl, Silky Silver, Gravity Blue, Platinum Graphite, and Aurora Black Pearl.
