Kia Mohave Fan Renderings Imagine A Smaller Telluride


Kia Mohave Fan Renderings Imagine A Smaller Telluride

We probably won't see the real deal anytime soon.
The next Kia Mohave only recently made its first appearance for spy photographers. Sold in select markets outside the United States, the chunky SUV matches up pretty well with the Sorento as far as size and capabilities are concerned. The prototype we caught was wrapped in very heavy camouflage, but the folks at kolesa.ru did some sleuthing and created these outstanding renderings of how the final product might look once all is revealed.

If you’re thinking this looks familiar, it should. Rumors we’ve been hearing about the Mohave suggest the revamped SUV will borrow heaviliy from the full-size Telluride, and that influence is clearly seen in these renderings. For comparison, check out the Telluride in the gallery below.

All-New Kia Mohave Makes Spy Photo Debut In The Snow
The renderings follow the Telluride's path, though Kia’s decision to cover the back glass on the prototype certainly adds to the mystery. For that matter, the extremely heavy camouflage at the back hides absolutely everything, so the renderings adapt the Telluride’s rear gate and fascia to round out the digitally revealed Mohave.

Our spy sources tell us the Mohave won’t be an all-new creature. The SUV’s current underpinnings are expected to soldier on beneath all the updated body work, and that could also extend to the current engine options as well. Updates to tech equipment and safety systems are expected, however.

At this point it’s unknown when the updated Mohave might appear, or if it will replace the Sorrento in the U.S. market. A best guess would have the covers lifted late this year or early next year.

Aren't those the headlights of the Telluride?
No, this isn’t just a smaller or sportier version of Kia’s new Telluride SUV. What you are looking at is likely the next-generation Mohave which is finally set to receive a major overhaul. If you live in the United States, you might’ve seen its predecessor under the Borrego moniker. It was available for a single year in America and was replaced by the Sorento in 2010.

The Mohave is still available in some markets outside North America and, apparently, these regions will be soon getting a new range-topping SUV from the South Korean brand. Judging by the shape of the headlights and front fascia, this heavily camouflaged prototype most likely features production body and lights. Of course, the amount of disguise at the back is not letting us take a closer look at the rear end, but we expect the vehicle to be heavily inspired by the looks of the Telluride.

If the new Telluride, Kia’s largest vehicle in history, is anything to go by, the new Mohave should benefit from a large package of safety systems, even in the more affordable trims. Depending on the selected model, customers should be getting blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, tire pressure monitor, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control with speed limiter, a 360-degree camera, and a head-up display.

Given the amount of camouflage on this car, we expect to see the final production version of the SUV towards the end of 2019 with sales likely to begin in the first quarter of next year.

The Telluride looks amazing. I welcome the trickling down of some of its design features.

You know, it has some weird details, but I am kinda digging the Telluride's design. That shade of green paint that the Telly had during its debut does help. I am also intrigued with how the upcoming Genesis G80 and GV80 turn out.
