OVERVIEW
The new Kia Borrego does everything right, as a mid-size luxury SUV. When weighed entirely and solely against its competition, the Borrego wins. It has excellent cabin and cargo space as a seven-seater, a solid and comfortable ride, terrific acceleration and towing power, and a smooth six-speed transmission in the V8. But mid-size SUVs need to get better fuel mileage nowadays, so the trend will be toward smaller turbocharged engines. An all-new SUV using a 337-hp V8 appears to be moving against the incoming tide.
The 2009 Kia Borrego SUV is powered by a base 3.8-liter V6 with 276 hp. Also available is a 4.6-liter V8 with 337 hp.
