At a time when petrol prices are going up, Kia has decided to launch a fullsize 4WD with a truck-like body-on-frame structure, with a choice of V6 and V8 engines. Depending on market, it will be called Borrego or Mohave.

Details are sparse at the moment as Kia is trying to tease bored people with photos of its new truck, which probably will be offroad-capable and have three rows of seating. The engines will probably be variants of new Hyundai Genesis motors.
