KEY POINTS:
In case you thought Kia was all about new-tech and small cars, here's proof the progressive Korean company can be as old-school as any US company.
The Borrego sport utility vehicle has been designed specifically for the American market. It rides on a truck-like ladder-frame chassis, seats seven and can tow up to 3.4 tonnes.
Engines? Buyers have the choice of 3.8-litre V6 petrol or 4.6-litre V8 petrol power plants.
Neither would be particularly relevant to markets outside America, though - if the Borrego is sold further afield in the future, expect to see Kia's new 3.0-litre turbo diesel V6 engine under the bonnet. It makes 184kW/540Nm and comes with a particulate filter system. The name comes from a rugged breed of US mountain sheep.
