Used Kia Borrego for Sale near Aurora, IL
Kia Borrego Overview
Since SUVs seem to be going the way of the California bighorn sheep, it's a little ironic that Kia decided to name its new mid-sized V8 after the endangered species. The Kia Borrego is the automaker's first SUV to offer a V8 engine, the same 4.6 Tau seen in the recently debuted Hyundai Genesis. With only 13/20 mpg, it's a risky move, but Kia promises a more efficient clean diesel engine within a year. Also on hand is a 3.8-liter V6 that gets 15/21 mpg.
The Borrego features three rows for up to seven passengers, with fold-flat capability and a full array of safety equipment, including multi-stage airbags, ABS brakes, and optional hill assist control. It will also be offered in either front-wheel or four-wheel drive, with the ability to be taken off-road, emphasizing its versatility and ruggedness. The body-on-frame architecture and independent suspension with coil-over springs are old-school SUV, but early looks at the interior show that the Borrego is on the cutting edge of technology. Towing capacity will range from 5000 to 7500 pounds.
Though offered with Kia's superior warranty and at an affordable price point, continually rising gas prices and a growing focus on environmentally-friendly cars may present an obstacle too big for this muscular SUV to overcome.

What people say
The truck is built rock solid. Super quiet ride. Plenty of power from the V8, spacious cabin. Better than a pathfinder, tundra or Lexus GX470
great SUV. Have a ton of space for cargo or people. Has seats 7 w/ seat belts, third row seating, duel climate control, dual power seats, towing package, AWD, V6, etc. Overall this is perfect car for a family that like to either travel or the outdoors a lot.
This car stronger than my tahoe and it feels like it is a better ride than the tahoe. The kia is chaper to buy parts and it seems like it is more fuel effiecent. I love to drive this car
I test drove and examined the Borego. The 4.6L is a rocket. The Borego is a full frame SUV and it scoots better than the Suburban, Expedition, or any other 7 passenger SUV that I know of. This thing is built mostly by robots like any other Kia or Hyundai so build quality is not even an issue. The Borego will turn heads but is still very classy. Fuel mileage is supurb for a 12,000 GVW capacity vehicle and stops on a dime. The only thing I am going to change is putting it on Eibach springs to bring it down about 2 inches.
I was waiting to find a slightly used V8 model for a while. I finally got one and love it. The turning radius is amazing on it. The power for acceleration is great, I have towed up to the 7,000 pound limit with no problems. The quality is great. As expected gas mileage is not great but it is comparable or better than most V8's in it's class. The tires that come with it are horrible, they are for a much lighter vehicle and not for trucks. The size is rare so a bit more of a hassle to find and there is no room for a slightly larger standard size tire. Smaller rims will not fit because of the large brakes on the front. After the warranty period, I will be looking at upgrading the suspension and wheel wells to fit much better tires. Otherwise, this is the only 7 seater vehicle that can tow 7,000 pounds that looked good, had a 5 year warranty, decent price and performed well.
