The 2013 Sportage SX gets a respectable 21/28 mpg EPA City/Highway rating with front-wheel drive and 20/25 mpg with AWD. We found the standard 2.4-liter engine delivers its power smoothly and mostly in a linear manner, with only an occasional, slight surge after an upshift in the automatic as the electronics adjust to the changing load

9,988 2009 Kia Borrego LX

suv 106,068 gasoline silver automatic

2009 kia borrego review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Strong alternative among truck-based midsize suvs. introductionthe kia borrego is a new midsize suv that seats seven and compares favorably to the toyota 4runner, nissan pathfinder, and honda pilot. the borrego comes with either a 3. 8-liter v6 engine using a five-speed automatic transmission, or a 4. 6-liter v8 using a six-speed automatic. Both engines are built by kia, and are all aluminum with double overhead cams. The v8 makes 337 horsepower, more than the hemi in the jeep grand cherokee. The v8 model is rated to tow up to 7500 pounds. fuel economy is an epa-rated 15/22 city/highway miles per gallon with 2wd and 15/20 mpg with 4wd. The v6 is only a bit better with 17/21 mpg. Legroom in the third row is very good, although it comes out of cargo space behind the third seat. With the 50/50 third seat lowered flat, there's a ton of cargo space. The 60/40 second row also drops flat, and it slides forward for easier ingress and egress to the third row. exclusive features include a standard tow hitch that's hidden behind the rear bumper, and led turn signals on the sideview mirrors. the borrego is comfortable off road, with all-terrain capability that separates it from crossover suvs such as the toyota highlander and mazda cx-7. It may be bold, but it's still vanilla. The v8 comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, the v6 with 17s. the interior is especially clean and well laid out, the seats are soothing, and the instrumentation and controls are intelligent. the ride is solid, consistent and comfortable, on a double-wishbone front suspension, multi-link rear. The smooth six-speed transmission in the v8 is the same that's in the bmw x5 luxury suv. there's not much to fault with the borrego, except that it gets the fuel economy of a midsize suv. lineupthe 2009 kia borrego comes in two models, lx and ex. The lx v8 30,995) comes standard with 4wd. Options include a navigation system and a rear-seat entertainment system. the borrego ex 27,995), ex 4wd 29,995), ex v8 30,995), and ex 4wd v8 32,995) come with leather seating, dual-zone climate controls, and upgrades such as heated mirrors, trip computer, power front passenger seat, steering wheel controls. safety equipment on all models includes frontal airbags, side-impact airbags for the front seats, and full-length airbag curtains. Also standard are abs with electronic brake distribution and brake assist, downhill brake control, electronic stability control, traction control, backup warning, and a tire pressure monitoring system. The v8 models add a driver's knee airbag. walkaroundhard as kia might have tried to make the borrego look distinctive, it pretty much looks like any other boxy mid-size suv. Skid plates under the body and tow hooks are standard. there's ample glass on the sides, with three distinct pillars making a third rearward window that allows good visibility through the rear corners. The rear window is also ample, no nonsense, along with the taillights that spread over the liftgate and wrap around the fenders. The rear liftgate is one piece, so the window doesn't open separately. The standard tow hitch receiver is cleverly hidden, a first. The borrego will tow 7500 pounds with the v8, or 5000 pounds with the v6. interiorthe kia borrego seats seven, with overall interior volume greater than the competition, including ford explorer, nissan pathfinder, toyota 4runner, jeep grand cherokee and the new honda pilot. the fold-flat second and third row seats produce a vast cargo space that's especially easy to access through the large-mouthed liftgate. The 60/40 second row reclines, and has good legroom because it slides rearward, then slides forward for easy ingress and egress to the standard two-seat 50/50 folding third row. There's also hidden storage compartment under the cargo floor in back. there's 32. 9 inches of legroom in the third row, which compares very favorably to the competition. The correct buttons on the driver's door armrest and on the console around the shift lever are just as easy. It's a nice shift lever, with a manual mode that's easy to access: slide the lever to the right, then forward and back for upshift and downshift. Again, easy. the gauges are great: clean white on black, with the speedometer in center and smaller tachometer on the left. Big rectangular vents on the dash, some of the 16 vents total in the cabin, and a center panel for the climate control and navigation system, which we also found easy to operate. We found the defroster slow to clear the windshield, however. We also detected slight wind noise at highway speeds. driving impressionthe kia borrego is a truck-based suv, that is to say body-on-frame construction. As such, the ride isn't as soft as with the crossover vehicles (car-based suvs), such as the honda pilot, toyota highlander, or mazda cx-7. But with insulated rubber mountings between the body and frame, the ride is not in any way harsh or uncomfortable; it's mostly just more rugged, and capable of handling the rough stuff. The ride is solid, consistent and comfortable. The advanced 4wd system called torque on demand includes high and low ranges. the borrego has two standard features that have a safety value on road and off: hill descent control and hill ascent control. Going down a steep icy hill, for example, the abs activates and throttle is controlled, so the vehicle maintains a steady, safe and slow speed. the turning, with rack-and-pinion power steering, is light, with a 36. 5-foot turning circle, as tight as many smaller suvs. And the six-speed zf transmission, with a manual mode, is state of the art, the same as used in the bmw. the 4. 6-liter v8 engine makes a large 337 horsepower with 323 pound-feet of torque at a fairly low 3500 rpm, which makes it strong for acceleration as well as towing. It's an aluminum engine and double overhead cam, the first of this kind for kia. AM/FM✔ Tachometer✔ Climate Control✔ Cruise Control✔ Navigation System✔ Air Conditioning✔ Alloy Wheels

2013 kia optima hybrid review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Quiet and refined midsize sedan. introductionthe kia optima is a midsize sedan with a smooth, quiet ride and able driving dynamics. The 2013 kia optima competes with the honda accord, ford fusion, mazda6, toyota camry and hyundai sonata. for 2013, optima carries over largely unchanged, but new features have been added and kia has consolidated the model lineup. all 2013 optima models get a revised kia badge on the hood, trunk and steering wheel, as well as a new sliding front headrest. Last redesigned for the 2011 model year, optima still looks contemporary. This engine is short on excitement, but it's fine for most drivers. Quiet at highway cruising speeds, it delivers enough power to keep up with fast traffic on the freeways, while delivering an epa-estimated 24/35 mpg city/highway. All 2013 optima models come standard with a 6-speed automatic. kia optima sx features a peppy 2. 0-liter turbocharged engine. The turbocharged inline-4 found on the optima sx sweetly carries this sedan into another world. With 274 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, the optima sx boasts first-rate performance, stability and agility. Silky smooth, the turbocharged engine propels the optima sx from 0 to 60 in 6. 5 seconds, quick for this class. Fuel economy suffers a bit compared to the naturally aspirated version, with an epa rating of 22/34 mpg city/highway. The warranty is good for up to 10 years or 150,000 miles. Just fill it with gas and go. efficiency-wise, the hybrid drags optima back into a third world. Its epa estimated mileage is 35/40 miles per gallon. The 6-speed automatic transmission was rough, which we blame on its electronic programming. interior appointments and materials in all optima models are handsome, generous, and of high quality for the class. We found the ride quality compliant over rougher pavement, filtering out harshness, while the suspension accurately communicates smaller bumps and ripples. The chassis is good, and although optima is no performance sedan, its handling has a sporty glimmer. lineupthree trim levels plus a hybrid version comprise the 2013 kia optima lineup. An optional technology package 2,700) adds dual-zone automatic climate control, navigation, an 8-speaker infinity audio system and rearview camera. The convenience package 600) upgrades to an eight-way power driver's seat, auto-dimming rearview mirror with homelink and compass. It comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, heated outside mirrors, front and rear lower bumpers and side sills, a rear spoiler, and led taillamps. Inside, there's an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat, electric dual zone automatic temperature control with rear vents, push-button start with smart key, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, fixed rear seats with ski pass-through. As with the sorento and quirky good-natured soul, the optima's design focus is not korean nor even asian. It is a world car like sedans from ford, toyota or honda. Sleek, aggressive and modern, the optima is at ease; it's like a well-tailored italian suit, made in korea. the suit seems a bit tight in the front, though. The optima grille, a sharp-angled chrome bezel surrounding a black mesh screen, arouses opposite opinions. One correspondent called it elegantly simple, comparing it to jaguar and bentley, but most of us think it looks like it came out of an aftermarket catalog. the racy wraparound headlamps, and low wide stance, imply athleticism. The front air dam is low enough to scrape in surprising places for a so-called sedate sedan like this, and gives the nose an aggressive look while helping fuel mileage. Still, the imagery is enticing. interioroptima's interior concedes nothing to its european or american competitors, except for its black plastic trim. The dashboard uses pebble-grain black leather, handsomely stitched with french seams. Instruments use a clear font. It tilts and telescopes, and contains controls for audio, cruise control, phone and a big green button for eco. Heating is optional. the five-passenger seating is excellent, with a full range of adjustability available in the driver's seat. The seats are firm, well-bolstered, and deliver snug lateral support for more vigorous driving. However, the center-rear passenger must ride the camel's hump, and the rear legroom is on the low side of average, at 34. 7 inches. Heated front and rear seating is available, as is front cooling and a cooled glovebox for drinks. the panoramic sunroof, on cars so equipped, is huge, airy and truly bright. When closing it, the sunscreen panel closes automatically. A separate function opens only the screen and tilt roof.
