Test drive updated Kia Mohave: All you wanted to know about the frame "Korean". Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and Kia Mohave - a comparative test of real SUVs Mojave frame or not

Diesel! And I did not offer it for a beginner. And now, a year after the debut on russian market, Pajero Sport has acquired a 181-strong Turbodiesel 4N15, already familiar by. The 8-speed automatic assists it. Test car in Ultimate version pulls 3,050,000 rubles.

Mitsubishi opponent in today's duel -. Also a large frame with an 8-speed automaton and turbodiesel, but 3.0 liters and 70 "horses" is more powerful. Not quite honest? So because Mohave with a similar level of equipment is cheaper - 2,850,000 rubles. Honest does not happen!

Asian beauty

I open the door quickly, let's grab the handle on the front rack and jump into the swaying body. Inside this is almost L200, only more expensive - for example, the instrument panel is decorated with a colorful trip-computer display. Thai hands magic not only in a massage - carefully collect cars, too, know how. Sorry, on materials saved.

Plastic is trying very hard to resemble soft, but knock on it - a plug, a gift from Africa. For a pickup, it will come down, however, in the car for three million I would like the materials of more expensive. Like more thoughtful ergonomics. It does not matter that the seat has a minimum adjustment set, the main thing is that the profile is not bad. It is worse that it is slightly deployed relative to the steering wheel and pedals. After a couple of hours, planting "three-quarters" begins to tire. Yes, this savings on trifles. Closer glass - only at the driver. Pleasant skin on the steering wheel? Only in places of grip, and for others they were sacrificed a couple of kerz boots.

Mohave is the opposite. Appearance is calm and almost boring. Nothing to do something. How to cling to. Kia looked slightly outdated immediately after the debut. But now, after almost ten years, he is boiled. These forms will almost certainly be relevant for another ten years.

To make a little more complicated to the cabin than in Mitsubishi: the driver was trimmed with a handle on the rack windshieldAlthough the passenger did not forget. Feel? As if he had moved from Economy to a business class. The plastic is soft not only on the touch, but also in appearance, painted inserts on the center console skillfully masked under the metal, and there is something "wooden". Updated, Mohave has gained a new instrument panel with lunar backlight and red arrows. Simple and elegant. And there is no feeling that they saved on me: the landing is correct, the seat - with the lumbar focus, the adjustment of the steering wheel in height is equipped with an electric drive. Whoever five years ago said that the Salon "Korean" will be better and richer than the sacral pajero!

Mésta for small things - with a margin, and that's good. On a large SUV ride not only to work - it would be nice that the smartphone does not conflict with a glass of coffee because of the "housing". So it turns out that KIA is in all of a slightly sensible Mitsubishi.

For Mohave passengers and at all. Spacious, the seats of the second row move forward-back, the angle of inclination of the back is adjustable. There is a separate climate control and heating of the seats. In the third row, landing is far from ideal, but

It is a little more difficult to wade into the salon than in Mitsubishi: the driver was trimmed with a handle on the windshield rack, although they did not forget about the passenger. Feel? As if he had moved from Economy to a business class. The plastic is soft not only on the touch, but also in appearance, painted inserts on the center console skillfully masked under the metal, and there is something "wooden".

Your place on the gallery

For Mohave passengers and at all. Spacious, the seats of the second row move forward-back, the angle of inclination of the back is adjustable. There is a separate climate control and heating of the seats. In the third row, landing is far from ideal, but you can go. In general, Mohave passengers in a special position. Not very convenient only input-out: Koreans and here have crossed out the handrails on the racks.

Pajero Sport is also sevensty (this is unambiguously spoken by cupboards on the sidewall in the trunk), but - only in Thailand. Probably as a reward for high-quality assembly. Russian cars are double-row. The rear seats are installed much higher than the front, amphitheater. There is heating of the seat cushion, you can adjust the flow of air from ceiling deflectors, but there is no full-fledged climate control.

Only by opening the trunk door, cease to regret that Pajero Sport has no third row. What a bag! We targeted an honest 552 liter "under the curtain", and even if you fold the seats and ship things under the ceiling ... However, Mohave is also a so-old. It is clear that in the seven-bed version, the trunk is equal in volume with a large road bag, but with a folded third row, its capacity is almost reaches a semicubometer (476 liters).

Tractor driver and dieselist

I ware the four-cylinder diesel 4N15, and the interior is filled with tractor tap. But there are no vibrations, and it is nice. Pajero does not touch - he jumps forward! The case is not in the foreclosure of the motor, but in the recappherion of the pedal of the gas, which should be used to get to get the result. A tangible longitudinal routing on a soft suspension only enhances clock.

I still have fresh memories of Oh, who did not "rode" at all. On his background, Pajero Sport is a sprinter. Twelve with more than a second second to 100 km / h for heavy diesel car - Definite result.

The octic AISIN automatic machine skillfully compensates for the flaws in the adjustment of the accelerator and the light shortcut of the "pots" and "horses". The Japanese even attached huge petals manual switching Transmissions. I love such things, but in the frame all-terrain, they look foreign. It is much more appropriate to the active cruise control, which is running thumb on the track: it does not allow sharp braking and allows you to adjust the distance to the car going ahead. The delicacy of his work should take note of the parking sensor, which is paranoid alarming about and without.

You turn Mohave - and you understand that there are no cylinders. The three-liter diesel V6 gently slings at idle, almost without giving out its "heavy" origin. The box is also 8-speed. There are no submissive petals, but they do not need: 549 Newton-meters carry Mohave forward, dissolving Pajero in rearview mirrors. The traction is enough in the entire range, the benefit of the automatic with tightly "sliced" transmissions does not interrupt its stream.

It is gratifying that the flow rate below - Kia eats on average for a liter less. And how is it stable on the track! Rama frame, but also the merit of fully independent suspension cannot be denyed. Side wind, light asphalt track - everything is not necessary. It is even surprising that cruise control on such a highway is inactive.

The first turn makes you remember that Mohave is big and heavy. Not the most acute reactions on the turns of the steering wheel, smeared "zero" ... A wicked road is not among his favorite habitats, but on the background of Pajero is a practically passenger car!

On the chassis it is the same pickup, only with springs in the rear suspension instead of the springs. Therefore, even on a straight line Mitsubishi requires a solid submissive hand. And in the turns it must be constantly corrected. Soft off-road tires Bridgestone Dueler only increase the dynamic corridor and make a lot of irritation in the already "approximate" handling.

Wild jumps

Asphalt replaced the primer of medium lousy. This is where the honest PAJERO hard worker must recoup! He actively scans the smallest, passing it on the body in all details. But the more pit, the stronger confidence in the amazing energy intensity of the suspension. Even in the pits in Policyles, the breakdown will not wait. Mitsubishi will rather break away from the ground. What is he, actually, and succeeded. I will not say that on the transverse wave of Pajero reminds Gartsome Mustang, but on a broken road, you must regularly catch the car. And it tires.

Kia suspension safety margin is less, but it is almost impossible to catch this difference. But on the primer, he is much friendly to the rides: almost ignores the trifle, and the flaws are more seriously working out no worse than the opponent. It remains stable and does not require permanent work steering wheel.

Gradually, the primer develops into off-road, and Pajero proudly spreads the wings. Here he is the owner! For the time being, no lowering transmission, nor blocking it is needed. But when a thick slippery clay went under the wheels, I still involved a lower row and off-road regime ("Dirt"). The blocking of the rear differential was not useful: Pajero Sport confidently rushing along the field, according to which only tractors and rural Urals are usually driven. Even when it was unfolded across, the formidable off-road tires continued to "dig" and pulled out the car in the right direction.

It was not terrible and in a rut to fall apart - the lumen is enough! Watching the show, Mohave has been respectful. In addition to the changing lumen under the rear axle in his off-road arsenal there is only a lower transmission.

To overcome the entire route after Mitsubishi, he failed: on ordinary road tires There's nothing to do here. Be Kia on the toothy Bridgestones, would go further, but it is all smaller than all-time talents: the clearance is modest, the bumpers hang below. Yes, and the hydromefta, which heard the front axle, can overheat with a long slip.

Points of destination

Pajero Sport - the name is legendary. And the new generation machine is the best of what Mitsubishi offers. With the advent of the diesel version, sluggish sales will go uphill. Good car! But on many points he lost to the elder Kia.

Only on average and hard off-road Pajero. out of competition. Does it make sense to buy an SUV for three million if there are once a year in the impassible deburs to promise? It is better to take the simplest version with the mechanics, saving half a million. Or at all stop the choice on the Pickup L200.

If you need a big and universal car, Mohave is your hero. It will only leave on an extreme off-road, pleasant on the track and spacious. Even the basic Mohave has a powerful diesel, automatic box and a worthy level of equipment. And what else need in life?

Advantages I. disadvantages of kia Mojave 2018-2019 in the new body identified on the basis of feedback real owners. More detailed advantages and cons Kia. Mohave 3.0 diesel and 3.8 gasoline with automatic and full-wheel drive 4x4 can be found from the stories below.

Ownership reviews

At the moment, the car is in my operation for 3.5 years (mileage 70,000 km), which allows me to give more weighted estimates of its performance characteristics.

Engine, perhaps, the main advantage of Mojave in the eyes of the public. But, for me personally, it is not so significant. The engine is frisky, picks up from the bottom of Niza, a tangible supply "under the pedal".

Box machine on 8 steps. The origin is unknown. In general, the box does not cause complaints: switches smoothly and does not tupit.

Four-wheel drive. The system of full drive, of course, is not off-road, but for my modest purposes is quite enough. So far I have not stuck anywhere, but I did not climb into a serious off-road.

Suspension. Front - springs, rear - pneuma. In the stock, the anti-American suspension is soft, suggests a good road surface and is afraid of sharp rebuildings. In general, I like it. Of the minuses: Floss, sometimes rearranges the rear axle on irregularities.

Controllability. Well, what could be the handling of such a barn? The steering wheel is empty and "long", and the brakes are somewhat wadded.

Interior. In beige performance, it looks very expensive and cozy, and the muffled backlight in the door inserts under the tree (by the way, quite natural) gives the interior of the highlight. Plastic in the main mass is hard. Seven seven salon itself. One of the most spacious salons in the classroom. But you get used to you quickly, and I want even more - for example, as in the new patrol.

Noise isolation. At the height, many prases. As for the audio system, it gives a completely acceptable sound from a good source. Radio sound is mediocre.

Video Feedback

He took a new one in the salon in August 2013. Double (2015 and 2016) traveled in Europe for 6.5 - 7.5 thousand kilometers with daily runs up to 1,500 km. According to good roads, it moves very comfortable, the power of the extended (of. The dealer reprogrammed brains with the preservation of the warranty to 300 hp). In general, Kia Mojave is a very reliable car without much breakdowns (no exploitation has ceased due to repair).

Advantages:
1. A bunch of 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel with an 8-speed ZF machine - this is a song (I measure on the empty machine overclocking to 100 was 7.2 s after chipovka).
2. The car never got up because of the breakdown, went every day.
3. Catering is awesome (somehow we went on vacation through Helsinki Airport as part of me and four women - imagine how much baggage was like - everything fit in the trunk together with the purchases made in Finland).
4. Extremely decent patency (after all, there is a blocking of disduction and a prayer).
5. One of the last real frame jeeps.

From the flaws, I note:
1. Machine - flagship brands Kia., but already very outdated. There are no heaps of small rain sensor, etc., the camera in the rear view mirror, outdated multimedia and instrument panel.
2. Pneumatic suspension is a quiet horror (wildly rigidly in small irregularities, before lying policemen have to slow down, the remote sensors of the rear suspension, changed every winter, changed the warranty, but it is quite uncomfortable to ride with a non-working podachka).
3. A very long consumption - without special traffic jams 13-15l (summer-winter). When in the spring at work was transferred to the center (on Petrogradka) with surviving traffic jams, consumption confidently crawled to 18-19 liters.
4. Since modern diesel (Punforskins, TNVD, etc.) had to carefully treat the choice of refueling (well at least there is no particulate filter).

Eugene, goes to Kia Mohave 3.0 Diesel (250 hp) AT 2013.

Where can one buy?

Mail engine 250 hp Picks up with a bang, auto economical, consumption at a speed of 100 km / h corresponds to the declared plant by the manufacturer, roomy, suitable for a family to seven people, a warm salon. Service is simple and prices for spare parts acceptable and not expensive, cheaper by 50% than on and Prado.

During the mileage period, the warranty changed the engine control unit, steering thrust, rearview chamber. Front Cardan replaced - on the control company.

He himself changed the front and rear shock absorbers and the springs to Pradovsky - the front routing was left, the car became stable on the go and at a speed of more than 100 km / h, replaced the front hub bearings.

Review of Kia Mojave 3.0 Diesel on the automatic machine 2010

In general, Kia Mohav is so-so car. After not exactly what the winnings in the price-quality ratio. Although I'll think about it can still overpaid 20 greenery thousand and take a more reliable brand. Moreover, the warranty announced by the plant just an empty sound!

Pluses: Salon wide and spacious, climate control and other comforts of comfort at level, rear view camera and parking sensors without comments, at the level, and what is on the rearview mirror, then this is an amateur. Additional seats rather plus than minus. The ABS is a little late, on the track is good, keeping the road, the fuel consumption is pleasant, the truth is the side computer of Lukavit, can show 9.5 liters per hundred, but in fact a liter is 1.5 more.

A tank with good capacity, a decent stock reserve, it is especially noticeable when you go on Kazakhstan's expanses with runs between big cities (read refueling with good gasoline) by 500 or more km. The engine leaves a pleasant impression - the pickup is good, tears from the intersection, and with the overtakers almost like a sports car.

In the minuses: there were unpleasant and incomprehensible breakdowns, but they are all. Twice had to remove the gasoline tank, in the first case, failed the power supply of the fuel pump (replaced), God was pretty and did not happen. Then the smell of gasoline unexpectedly appeared, it turned out to flow at the bottom of the tank (the armor is whole, and there is a flow ???), strange, had to be filmed and brewed.

On the forums there are many complaints on the stiffness stiffness and shock absorbers - it's true! My rear shock absorbers fastening with a difference of 30,000 km (first after 90 thousand). Revised the cup of fastening and shock absorber head. I also had to brew welding. Consequently, the stated characteristics are not true! Due to the elongated base, the longitudinal squabble is destructive for this car. Rear passengers can be forgotten about comfort if the road is not very smooth and long.

Faisula Rakhmetov, reviews about Kia Mojave 3.8 (275 hp) AT 2010

Mohave, of course, is trying to simply, but age is no longer joy. And as a "grandmother" does not catch up with the iPhone in design and the updated SUV do not reach expression and athleticity of the appearance of the same new Sportage and Sorento. Restyled Mohave still looks like a low, and you will easily skip it in the stream, if you do not know what to pay attention to. So, "Mohavel" received new bumpers, the LED DRL was first attached over the fogs, the radiator grille and the design of 18-inch wheels were changed, and blue and brown color were added to the body painting map. Here, in fact, all.

In the US, Kia Mohave (there he is known as Borrego) "did not go" and left America back in 2010. Today, the main markets for Mohave - Middle East, Southeast Asia and Russia. Although the sales of this model do not go to any comparison with the same Sorento or Sportage. By the way, the Mohave sold from us is produced in the Kaliningrad "Avtotor" by the method of large-sized assembly.

In the interior of changes and injections of modernity, it is already greater, but also it can be seen that young is already elderly. And these divergent inserts "under the tree" - in general, like from the past ... However, our readers were more interested in applied and technical issues. To them and go.

Question from vyacheclavovich

What motors offer?

In Russia, the updated Mohave came with the same turbodiesel V6 and an 8-speed automaton, which was at the predecessor. And this is definitely not the worst heritage, but just the "chip" of the Korean SUV. Because the aggregatische this is not a 4-cylinder diesel "taurattelkov", the difference in the pull is colossal! The three-liter motor with a cast-iron block and a turbine with a variable geometry is still developing 250 hp. and 549 nm from 2000 rpm. 8.7 seconds - and on the speedometer is already 100 km / h, although weighs Mohave 2.2 tons.

Minimum price

Maximum price

Drawn Salon and Trunk This diesel also does not feel: powerfully, but smoothly starts from traffic lights, it is easily accelerated from the course, not tightening along the protracted tracks, also gaining a move if you ask. And all this - for a nice-muted bass rice and a thin miscalcot of the turbine, manifested with active acceleration.

The interior tried to refresh the other finish with the inserts "under the tree" (inserts are easily scratched, the finish of the texture resembles Kirzach), the new steering wheel, devices and the central console. There is a new multimedia with a touch screen, JBL audio system and ventilation passenger chair. But the USB connector is still only one. Like the handrail on the windshield rack from the passenger side.

Moreover, the diesel does not need to twist strongly: its power is precisely on average turnover, where the torque is maximum. So, under a light dump of gas, forcing the 8-step automaton to switch up, again give up gas - and we get another wave of acceleration. There is no sports regime in the box, and it is more comfortable for comfort and savings, switching gently and measured. If gas is gradually pressing gas, the machine is stubbornly in a hurry to switch down, because the diesel "pulls" and on the highest transmissions. So, to accelerate on overtaking, gas must act more decisively.

From the pick-up - the shock-hard switching on the air conditioner coupling and the noisy engine cooling fan. With questions about the reliability of this diesel engine, then among the reviews of the owners of the pre-reform model, the models are found to mention the replacements of turbocompressors and piezoelectric nozzles. But it happened mostly in the warranty period (today it is increased to 5 years or 150,000 km of run). By the way, a good reason to disassemble the Mohave in our heading in more detail, so watch out for our publications!

New and excellent readable panel supervision instruments With a 4.2 inches color screen - in the top version of Premium. But the tuning of the brightness of the backlight was never found. In the other grades - a monochrome screen by 3.5 inches.

Steering, weightless at low speeds, is poured on the track, although it is also configured to comfort, and not an acute handle that is expected. And the brakes do not cause the brakes with their abilities.

But independent suspension just discouraged. Its updated did not affect, but it would be worth it! Already in the basic equipment there are adaptive shock absorbers, but there is a feeling that they are weak for such a huge car. Rolls in turns are still Polbie. It is worse that the SUV is so dancing on well hatches and defects of the canvas, knocking down from the course. Shcherbaty asphalt goes to the steering wheel, the body is frightened to the "plexuses", trembles from the vibrations of heavy wheels, "festest" at the joints (especially the rear suspension), and if the arc is also poured, the feed is rearranged as if there is no multi-dimensional suspension, and the bridge On the springs!

The ride of the rear air suspension from the lower to the top (in the photo) of the position is 80 mm.

On the primers of irregularities are already less in the steering wheel. But it will be not particularly not attenomating - the suspension lacks energy intensity and work moves. On a rigid rubble grader, it is especially felt that the rear air suspension works almost at the limit, donimyu-hum, and blows. In general, for the SUV at Mohave some kind of "crossover" suspension. And no wonder the owners of the dorestayling model themselves changed shock absorbers to more tough, so that the SUV was collected and less "walked."

Question from mihan_rsx

Rides off the road?

Let's say this: rides, but with reservations. And in its geometric passability, Mohave, alas, too closer to crossovers than a serious "passing". Long wheelbase And low-hanging body thresholds will force twice to think if it is worth climbing the sharp crossbar. Massive rear sinks can be partly compensated by lifting rear pneumatic suspension In the upper position and increasing this angle of the congress and clearance (it reaches a solid 30.5 cm in this position). But in the basic versions, there are ordinary springs in the back, and the risk of "hugging" the feed increases sharply.

1. Updated Mohave now has monitoring of blind zones, pressure control in tires and a circular review camera, showing the atmosphere in front and rear in different combinations.
2. Multimedia - with a 2-core processor on 1 GHz, "RAM" in 1 GB and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS. Supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, navigation shows at home in 3D ... But the reaction to the buttons - with a delay, and the navigator sometimes suffers.
3. Management 3-zone climate control is convenient and visual.

Front is still sadder. The new bumper has become massive and lower, and its protruding lower "jaw" easily pulls to the soil in deep pits and kolas, cautiously cautious. But even worse, that under the protection of the motor, we targeted only the "crossover" 195 mm clearance! Because of such a low and weighty "muzzle" the meaning in the rear pneumatic suspension on a complex off-road is not so much. Yes, it increases the clearance under the bridge and tank, but the SUV can even earlier to sit in front. The owners of the former Mohave adapted the front suspension by spacers or other springs with shock absorbers - this is a real necessity, if you often move from asphalt.

But the supply of diesel thrust allows you to crawl on dirt even without inclusion of reduced transmission. And we specifically started kneading in AUTO mode in the distribution, when the inter-axis multid-wide UFTA connecting the front axle constantly "plays" the degree of its lock, adjusting the supplied torque. They expected the coupling in this mode overheat, but did not wait - for this, it is clearly necessary to gamble more and climb, for example, in the sand. In 4H mode, the coupling is completely clamped, making the thrust equally between the axes. So it is already more complicated, and light delays with the connection of the front bridge disappear.

The electronic imitation of interstole locks in Mohave is not the most "angry", but quite working, and the "self-block" of the rear axle helps. The highway rubber is quickly "closed" and does not allow to go out of a gauge, even the depth of the sparrow by the knee. But if you go to inertia and straight wheels, then for such a loam you can "moose". The main thing is not to get involved.

On reduced transmission in the distribution of traction in general, the breakdown: diesel could easily turn the wheels even more and "Zubasya". On the reduced Mohave honestly rides from the first transmission to the checkpoint, and the torque reserve is almost with the "bottoms" and the gas settings allow you to conveniently and linearly dose traction. Still, the difference in the speed of gas reactions between turbodiesel with 6 and 4 cylinders is the sky and the earth! Although there is a nuance. On the reduced row in the distribution, the anti-test system, contrary to logic and expectations, is not turned off and "stifles" the engine at the most inopportune moment when the thrust is needed. You have to turn it off manually.

Question from kamil_fazliev and mr_and_mrs_ivanov

How strong Kia Mohave differs from Sorento Prime.? Who is preferable and does it make sense to overpay?

These two cars from one kia family differ more than seriously, and not only for the price. And here everyone already chooses himself, they proceed from what the car needs and what you are waiting for it.

The front seats first do not like: they will not move away, the back is ejecting and flat, like a board, shoulders hang in the air, head restraints are not too comfortable ... But then you get used to it. Of the pleasant little things - the sun visors with the retractable section. Perforated Nappa quilted leather - for the first time on Mohave, but it is available in the most expensive version of Premium, like a box-cooled box.

Seven Mohave - on the frame, and he is larger than Sorento: 15 cm is longer on the body and 11 cm on the wheelbase, slightly wider, and its declared clearance (217 mm versus 185). The trunk is more. Diesel V6 and Frame allow you to ship the car under the urban, and even dragging a camper or boat - do not forget that Mohave created, including for the USA, where SUVs regularly use as tractors for heavy trailers. And the pneumatic suspension just does not give the stern life under weight of cargo and trailer. And the presence of reduced transmission also allows you to portray something on this off-road.

Sorento Prime is an already urban crossover with a carrier body for 5 or 7 places. More modern on finishing and ergonomics, more "asphalt" on the suspension settings, more accurate and collected by handling and behavior on the track. But there are no pneumatic suspensions from behind, and the engines are weaker, although there is also in the gamma gasoline motors. The most powerful one is a 3.3-liter V6 (250 hp and 318 nm), and a 2.2-liter diesel is issued a maximum of 200 "forces" and 441 nm. And only a 6-speed automatic machine for all engines, while Mohave has a 8-range automatic transmission.

1. The left needle of the steering wheel overlaps the full-wheel drive control unit, suspension, stabilization system - you have to harm and twist the power or pry. The headlight washer button is also not too comfortable.
2. Rear control panel "Climate" is already in the database, but shifting buttons front armchair - Only in the most expensive version. USB connector? Here it is not, as in the third row.
3. On the second row - the detrunities in all directions. And the knees are not resting, even if the chair will move back to the stop. But the middle passenger in the back fieces the folded armrest, flat and hard as the board. And when landing lacks the handrail on the middle racks of the body - they saved again!

Yes, and on the off-road driving SORENTO PRIME it is necessary to move carefully: the ground clearance is only a little more passenger, the bodies of the body are large, "perenchaiki" for confident mixing of dirt is not, and the rear axle hydromefta is clearly not calculated on such revolutions. "Leave him family long-range cruises on high-speed highways, at worst - broken calaims and rolled primers," - to these words of our correspondent after and adding nothing to add.

Question from TY_KTO

Power windows All automatic?

You will be surprised, but no: there is an automatic lifting and lowering glass only on the front doors, on the rear - saved. And from the Russian settings of Mohave, the electrically regulation of the pedal node was evaporated somewhere, which was proposed on the dorestayling model. Removed not to wind the price?

When both rows are folded, the volume of "hold" is 2.7 cubic meters! Smooth floor allows you to organize gorgeous sleeping places. But the servo-servo doors of the trunk is still no (there is only a closer), and the raised lid is low for people above 180 cm.

Although after updating Mohave still rose. Basic Comfort cost 2,399,900 rubles, now - 2,439,900 rubles. The four-wheel drive here is connected, without reduced transmission in the distribution, the interior is fabric (Multi-Multi and the gearbox - in the skin), but the equipment is completely uneteble. There is a multimedia system and "Music" JBL, 3-zone climate control with a control unit for rear passengers and an additional cabin electric power supply, heated parking spaces, mirrors (they are with a servo) and front seats, adjustable lumbar support for the driver and cruise control . Plus LED running lights And fog, "turn signals" in the side mirrors, roof rails, rear spoiler, a grid for fixing luggage and a trunk curtain. And all this - on cast discs with tires 245/70 R17.

For security in the database, 6 pillows are responded (there used to be only frontal), a stabilization system with a start-up assistant, a regular alarm and immobilizer, front and rear parking sensors, a rain sensor and, of course, "ERA-GLONASS".

1. On the "gallery" you sit on the floor, the legs of the knots, the back does not lean. And although the middle row can be moved forward to give the knees, how long will you break? In the form of easy consolation - cup holders, air ducts on the ceiling and lighting ceiling.
2. When the third row is raised, the trunk is expected to "dry" up to 350 liters or pairs of bags.
3. The jack is hidden in the organizer under the trunk floor.

I received Mohave and a new intermediate version of LUXE for 2,639,900 rubles. In it, the tissue salon is already replaced by leather, the heated seats and the steering wheel, active head restraints, the tinting of the rear hemisphere and the self-impacting salon mirror are added. Even the price includes wooden inserts on the steering wheel, automatic front windows and, most importantly, a reduced row in the dispensing box.

Self-locking rear Differential increased friction and rear pneumatic suspension can only be obtained in maximum configuration Premium for 2 849,900 rubles. The seats (front - already with ventilation) are decorated with perforated nappa skin, there is a background backlight of the interior in the doors, servo drives of the front chairs and a steering wheel with memory (like folding mirrors with a tilt function when driving back), a hatch, cooled box in the armrest. The engine starts from the button, there are xenon headlights and LED rear lights, a circular review camera and monitoring blind zones. From external differences - wheels dimension 265/60 R18, side steps and chrome-plated door handles.

Question from kamil_fazliev

As if the price to "Kruzak" did not fit closely ...

The price of Mohave ranging from 2,439,900 to 2,869,900 rubles - its instrument of the main caliber in market wars, with all its flaws. Because there is no direct alternative to him objectively: no one offers for such money well-equipped frame 7-seater SUV with a V6 Diesel, a reduced transmission, an 8-speed automata and a large interior.

Under the steel protection of the motor, we measured 195 mm. In Thawy, the clearance of 217 mm is declared.

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, which is shorter? From 2,727,000 rubles for the base 5-seater body and a 4-cylinder diesel in 2.8 liters (177 hp) in a pair with an automatic machine for 6 steps. Seven-seater option - from 3,513,000 rubles. The new 5-seater Mitsubishi Pajero Sport with a Diesel 2.4 L (181 hp) is not cheaper: from 2,649,990 rubles for an 8-range automatic.

Frameless Volkswagen Touareg. V6 TDI S. independent suspension and 8-speed automata? It is only a 5-seater and three million to it do not suit it: a version with a 204-strong diesel engine costs from 3,089,000 rubles, an option for 245 hp - from 3 199,000 rubles (prices without discounts on Trade-IN). Do you need a variant with "Redeya" in the distribution? It is only performed by a 4xmotion price from 3,259,000 rubles.

1. Borgwarner aluminum distribution hides behind the cross frame. In AUTO mode, the front axle is connected by an automatic clutch, in 4H it is blocked, a reduced row is turned on in mode 4L.
2. The hydraulic tubes pass behind the steering rack and are not protected. If you often move on off-road, an additional sheet of protection, at the same time covering the box, definitely does not hurt.
3. Front suspension - with two transverse levers. And its moves are still small: pay attention to how the rubber buffer of the compression stroke on the lower lever almost rests on the restrictive platform. And it is on a blank machine.

Who else? Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 3-liter Diesel V6 has long been "merged" from our market. Now he only has a gasoline V6 of 3.6 liters. Option by 238 hp costs from 2,870,000 rubles, version with a capacity of 286 hp - Already 3,800,000 rubles. The Mitsubishi Pajero returned to Russia recently, only a modest gasoline 3-liter V6 (174 hp), but they ask for an unmodest unmodicable SUV 2,749,000 - 2,949,990 rubles.

In a more expensive version, the option "Pedal node with an electrically regulating" is available, very useful for short-grow drivers.

The combination of devices is quite deeply drowned in the panel, with white backlight (and red around the edges), very informative, with bright sunlight it does not glare.

But there is an inconvenience - the location of the climate installation cannot be called successful, with bright light on its screen, the testimony is practically not visible, and even at night it is difficult to see what the temperature is set.

The rolled driver behind the wheel will not be easy, even if the seat should be pulled back, the place is not too much.

The most distant "gallery" is suitable for children, after all, adult people will be inconvenient there.

Kia Mohave Reviews

Korean crossover car owners like it in general, although it is not devoid of flaws.

Positive reviews.

A large plus machine is a spacious interior, and if it houses no more than 4 passengers, then for luggage there is more than enough.

Also among the advantages of auto owners note:

• powerful engine providing excellent dynamics;
• efficient, soft brakes;
• high reliability, serious breakdowns occur infrequently;
• easy control;
• relatively small flow of diesel fuel;
• good equipped, in the car there are many additional options.

The main disadvantages of Kia Mohav:

• rigid suspension;
• weak paintwork;
• not the most good assembly quality;
• several outdated design.

Shock absorbers (especially rear) are not designed for such a heavy machine, because of this car rides Valko, with swinging, and the parts of the suspension often have to change, since they cannot withstand the load.

The uneven road is felt in the cabin, especially the rear passengers notice.

The design of the SUV several archaic, climate installation and audio system also do not look modern, but it is not surprising, because the car is produced since 2009.

New Kia Mohave In 2017, fans of this brand are waiting with impatience.

It is time to update the model, release a car that meets all modern requirements.
