Kia Mohave 2017 created as a conqueror. Endurance, perseverance in defeating space, regardless of road conditions, the embodiment of force, stamina in general, all real male character traits. Perhaps that is why he received a name in honor of the California desert Mohave.
He was conceived for the American market, hence the name. But the demand was lower than the expected, and the Koreans stopped sales in the United States. However, in Asia, in the Middle East and Russia, the car still remains on the market, see here. Moreover, in Russia, sales of even an updated version of the frame model were created, albeit with a delay of a year and a half, but already with the installed GLONASS system. If earlier, Mohave was an angular American farmer, now he will be pulled up, a muscular and charming. The system without a key hit in the salon, the threshold allows you to conveniently sit for the driver’s seat. And then the chair, equipped with a settings memory, returns a convenient position for the driver, which was recorded earlier. The rear row passengers have a large space due to the absence of central opening.
In all trim levels of the car, climate control is separate, with a separate control unit for passengers in the rear seat as in buses. Above each row of seats there is a blowing system and the most pleasant – all chairs with heating. The rear row passenger can control the front chair, moving not only the back, but also the whole seat. There is a 12 -volt socket, but not one USB connector for recharging gadgets. Even in the most expensive configuration, they are absent. Instead there are plastic plugs.
The updated Mohave is delivered to Russia with a diesel engine of 3 liters. and 250 l. With., which works with eight stepped automatic. Acceleration of the car is dynamic and the transfers of the gears occurs in a timely manner. Fuel consumption indicators according to the manufacturer do not exceed 9.3 liters per hundred kilometers of the road. But in fact, diesel fuel consumption is 11 liters. As you know, in Russia snow is fraught with the road and it is at this time of the year that you can fully feel how the trembling of the road is transmitted to the frame body of the car. The driver feels large pits with his whole body. Sometimes it resembles a hammer blow to the anvil. Mohave in all versions is full of a drive machine, however, in more expensive versions it is constant, and in cheap connected.
