Love is a beautiful thing!
Sometimes when I reflect on this statement, I come to the conclusion that that is a fact. It makes you see no fault in anything even when one is staring you in the face. Always makes one jump to the defense when the interest of one’s beloved is being tampered with. I don’t care what you think; my love for 2009 Kia Borrego Ex V6 is unquantifiable!
Even though the similarities of these Asian countries are many in terms of appearance, language and their customs are almost in duplication, Kia is only being magnanimous in tagging the brand name out of Asia because the Korean technology left every other Asian automobile practitioners wanting. Korean history and art which comes into limelight after the 2nd century BC, during the Three Kingdom period, when China controlled the northern Korea and the south continued under native rule never seize to amaze one in the creativity shunned into the production of this magical idol.
The 3.8L V6 Sport Utility hulk, a 6-cylinder aluminium blocks and heads type, comes with electronically controlled 5-speed automatic transmission. With the total volume displaced by the pistons put at 3, 778cc, you definitely want to queue behind me in raising a thumb up for the giant Mr. Know-It-All!
Free flow of movement is no barrier to Borrego since its ability to overcome resistance, which bears 267lb, -ft at 4400rpm, is enhanced with a full time, Torque-On-Demand 4WD system. If you think the going is good, then what will you say when you know that Borrego dear has a driving force of 276hp at 6000rpm and the largest and smallest possible volumes in the cylinder that contains fuel and air being compressed stand at 10.4:1 ratio. Well, I guess there is no way you wouldn’t continue nodding your head and saying ‘No problem, no problem’ if asked “Annyong haseyo?”
The machine is a front engine, 4-wheel drive type of layout housing double-wishbone, coil spring with shock absorber and stabilizer bar for the front and multi-link, coil spring with damper and stabilizer bar for the rear suspensions to accommodate 4460lbs without fear of doubt in the Kia reliability in stability. A body type of chassis frame of 8 crossmembers to satisfy your palate! Each door is reinforced with steel beams to absorb impact energy and deflect side-impact force. Both the A and B pillars are reinforced to help minimize damage. In all sincerity, what more could you have asked for!
You can be prepared for the full overdose of care because the vehicle comes with a dual-diagonal, split circuit; power assisted braking system (EBD). 12.9 in. vented disc mops the speed from the front with the support of a 12.8 in. solid disc from the rear matching up 17” tyres w/alloy wheels, not forgetting TPMS (TIRE-PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM), the monitoring system which includes air pressure sensors located at each wheel. If a tire reaches a specified low air pressure, a warning light alerts you.
I always say Accidents happen, but Kia countered by displaying their Safety first. Safety always. Borrego’s active safety system are engineered to help you avoid accidents, and it’s passive systems are designed to help prevent injury when they are quite unavoidable. This means front to back and top to bottom, Borrego is engineered to help ensure you and your passengers’ well being. An advanced system of airbags is designed to help protect all occupants. Dual front airbags and seat-mounted side airbags guard the driver and front passenger. Full-length side curtain airbags help protect occupants in all three rows of seats and are complemented by a sensor designed to deploy the airbags in the event of a rollover. In addition, V8 models feature a driver’s knee airbag.
For your information, please. EX models feature heated outside mirrors designed to stay clear in cold weather, a latch system, including anchors on the back of the second-row seats, makes it easy to secure child seats. Now it’s easier than ever to back up, thanks to ultrasonic sensors that can detect when certain objects are behind you. The system alerts you with a series of beeps to help prevent you from hitting hard-to-see objects and in the event of a rear collision, the active headrests instantly move up and forward, reducing the likelihood of neck injury. It would be enviously quite unfair to say the make of this beauty is faulty.
The philosophy that drives KIA service is based on providing customer satisfaction by “fixing it right the first time”. To ensure speedy and reliable vehicle repair at their KIA workshops, advanced diagnostic tools like GDS (Global Diagnostic System) that allow KIA technicians identify mechanical problems quickly and accurately taking care of the After Sales Service.
And in an unstable economy like ours, you can afford to rest easy because the SUV is surprisingly economical. The EPA fuel consumption in estimated city and highway are 17 and 21 mpg respectively. However, it is understandable that in Nigeria of today, money are hard to come by in a country where banks and even government are now venturing into businesses that ought to be left to either their customers and citizens respectively, a suitable payment agreement could be arranged with authorized KIA dealer in Nigeria.
So if you ask me if KIA cares, I would shout, “Yes, it really does!”
