Very good photos! Could we have some photos of the cargo area? Interior? I am interested in knowing the folding characteristics of the second third seats of the Mohave. Do the seats fold flat like the Subaru Tribeca or the Tucson?

The 3.8L is a base and the V8 will be the top motor 4.7L ??? Pray for Oil under $150 a barrel.
Three seat rows to compete with the big HOGS.
 
I love the Air-bag suspension in the Photos, I hope they come with a ride & level control for low street and full height off-road. We will see in months soon. I hope they bite the bullet on XP radio and option for NAV, I dont see why they dont now when they buy Delco radios for many models.

I saw the covered coils in the photo and thought them Air-bag for a moment. Too bad!

Well as long as it has rear auto-leveling option that'll be good enough.

Kia is no longer using Delphi/Delco. Now they are using Hyundai Autonet. Also Hyundai Mobis could be a supplier as well.

So without the present Delphi Options for XP or any support for integrating the head units with externals. other than the Rio/Spectras that have AUX plug as in the Borrego console photos. This is still miles behind present models from even the sister stable. Ford got the Microsoft (net) integration for Phone and voice control. while everyone else is building frankinstiens of modules that somehow become a usable control set and display integration. With DVD audio not even offered and Cassettes still in the holes we might as well be in the 70s 5.1 or better is only in DVD video systems and media. Harddrive Multi-Media box its not. Wireless downloads not, Nav Aids with a Mommy voice for lost babies, yes it works, for someone lonely and lost and encapable of reading a map. Of course gangster rap only need one channel and a boneshaker. Satelite is less than 100kb and most other audio content is in 2 channels with very little dynamic range or mixer skill.
So AM is still King, all you need for talk radio and it goes hundreds of miles when you fire those old transmitters up. Out west there is still is no fm radio between in the wastelands. (Sorry Cowboys) So KIA Gurus..you want a sale in about 10-15 states you need a SAT ready/ Aux adaptable radio in every car & add a Weather Channel for the tornado states. Radio Havana//AM or bust. roll the windows down....dig out the eight tracks and dream Large.

From the photos it appears that the brake discs are not ventilated. If this is true it is not a good news.

It does have Air Suspension, see http://file1.bobaedream.co.kr/national/national1176276201_2.jpg
 
The disks are ventilated, it's the guard you are seeing in the rear. I would think it will be getting the Diesel in the US like the Veracruz is with 30mpg combined.
