Kia Motors revealed the official pics of its new midsize SUV-2009 Kia Borrego- ahead of its world debut at 2008 Detroit Auto Show this month from Jan.19th. And the vehicle will go on sale in late spring or early summer as a 2009 model.

From the official pics of the 2009 Kia Borrego, its styling is imposing with a bold chrome grille, big headlights and a chunky stance. Much larger than the firm’s current Sportage and Sorento SUVs, it has space for seven, thanks to three rows of seats.

It looks as if this is Kia’s highest quality cabin yet, with a classy centre console along with a neat digital display, clean dials and wooden trim around the automatic gearstick.

A choice of V6 or V8 petrol en-gines will be offered, as Kia has yet to unveil a new large diesel. With a variable four-wheel-drive system and plenty of torque, the Borrego – named after a rare breed of mountain sheep – promises superb towing capacity and decent off-road ability.
