Enhanced Ride Comfort... Kia 'The 2023 Mohave' Launch

From 49.58 Million KRW... Major Parts Improvements and Standardization of Safety and Convenience Features

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Je-hoon] Kia announced on the 7th that it has launched the year-updated model of the premium large sport utility vehicle (SUV) Mohave, 'The 2023 Mohave,' and has begun full-scale sales.

This year-updated model features improved major components to secure a stable ride comfort and the application of basic safety and convenience features reflecting customer feedback. Kia first increased the rigidity of the 'chassis frame mount,' which connects the body and the frame of the Mohave, and applied enhanced performance shock absorbers to the suspension to reduce road impact and vibration. This optimizes the integration of the body and suspension to ensure a stable ride comfort during off-road driving.

Additionally, reflecting customer opinions, the model now includes a Multi-Collision Brake (MCB) system that automatically brakes if a collision occurs during driving and the driver loses control of the vehicle, second-row laminated soundproof glass, and after-blow as standard features.

Furthermore, the new Kia emblem was applied to the front of the vehicle and the steering wheel, completing the brand identity across Kia's RV lineup. New interior colors, 'Terracotta Brown' and 'Tope Grey,' create a fresh atmosphere. The design-specialized model Gravity emphasizes a stronger impression by applying glossy black materials to key exterior decorations such as the radiator grille frame and finishing the interior with black woodgrain trim.

In addition, an emission reduction device was added to meet the strengthened diesel vehicle emission self-diagnosis device (OBD) test standards, which have been mandatory since this year.

Meanwhile, the prices of the new Mohave are 49.58 million KRW for the Platinum, 54.93 million KRW for the Masters, and 58.71 million KRW for the Gravity. A Kia official stated, "Mohave is the best premium large SUV equipped with excellent power performance and advanced driver assistance systems, and with the new model actively reflecting customer feedback, it will further strengthen its position in the large SUV market."
