STUD OR DUD? First Official 2020 Kia Mohave Images Break Cover

Originally previewed during the 2019 Seoul Motor Show at the end of March by the Masterpiece concept, the second-generation Mohave is making its official debut courtesy of two images released by Kia South Korea on its Facebook page. It looks almost the same as the showcar before it, albeit the styling has been slightly toned down here and there to make the large SUV more suitable for production.

The four-point LED headlights and the somewhat unusual grille have been largely carried over from the Masterpiece, which is the same we can say about those large taillights that meet in the middle where the model’s name is prominently featured on the tailgate. The SUV used to be known as the Borrego in the United States before being discontinued in 2009 features a quad exhaust system, but we’re getting the impression those are fake as all four tips seem to be blocked off.

Cant imagine that the Mohave is for the US at all. Kia already has the Telluride.

So they stole a Honda Pilot body and put new Grille/Headlights/Taillights on.. Got it! They couldn't be original if they tried unfortunately.

Honda Pilot body? I know we not talking. Ignoring the Pilot's body ripped off the side profile of the 2009 Chevy Traverse. But because honda isnt Korean we going to act like the Pilot is orginal. Also ignoring the 2009 Borrego came out when the 2008 Pilot's back end ripped off the 2017 Scion XB's backend.

Here I'll say it slowly since you have biased anti-korean eyes

The HUHDA PILOT GREENHOUSE COPIED THE 2009 CHEVY TRAVERSE. also ignoring this the Borrego was out in 2009 when your 2009 Pilot's backend copied the Scion XBs backend. Google it.

This design was unveiled in 2008 if you did research it was called the Kia HM and the Chinese had hired someone in Kias R&D to assemble the HM. So if you see a Chinese SUV looking like this that's why.

Since you want to act like China doesnt copy let's put this out there for lack of research shall we

We shall

"The Kia HM is the new BOF, V8-powered, Tahoe-sized SUV based on the Mesa concept that will be coming out at year's end; it's also going to provide the basis for the next-generation Kia Sorento.
I'm sure Chery will say they didn't know the information was stolen, but I'm skeptical.

Since it is accused of copying how about I just bring the 2009 Kia Borrego to the kitchen table. https://www.google.com/search?q=2009+kia+borrego&prmd=isvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwix8rmH3YPkAhXmhOAKHX9BBd8Q_AUIFygB&biw=360&bih=612#imgrc=n3EOLiGMqv4bLM

Now what you got to say? As if we want to pretend this isnt a facelift of the Borrego. Yet accuse the Telluride of being a minivan because it is FWD will this is RWD and BOF.

They all look alike. Could be any brand.

The Telluride is cool, modern and looks different than most anything else on the road, while this Mohave looks dated and frumpy from day 1.
