A little history of this car
To the west of Las Vegas is the harsh California desert - the Mojave, famous for its Death Valley - the lowest and hottest place North America. In summer, the temperature here rises to +54 C, and the wind speed often reaches 80 km/h. Only very hardy vehicles can survive here, such as the 2017-2018 Kia Mojave mid-size crossover named after her.
The car was designed by Peter Schreier, a former chief designer Audi, which has invested in it all its rich experience in the development of premium and luxury cars. The premiere of the new Kia Mohave took place in 2008 at international motor show in Detroit. At that time, it was the first mid-size SUV in the Kia Motors model portfolio. And almost immediately, in 2009, the company organized SKD-assembly of cars in Kaliningrad at the Avtotor plant. Russian sales started in the autumn of the same year. Since then, the plant has already assembled more than 5’200 Russian crossovers Kia Mojave.
SKD - semi knocked down - production by assembling a car from large finished parts. This type of production is usually practiced to reduce import duties, because the import duties on cars are higher than on their components.
Volumes Russian sales models are small - 573 cars for the whole of 2016, that is, less than 1% of all brand sales in the country. Which, of course, gives the car an additional uniqueness.
Crossover got the first major update(face-lift) in 2011. At the same time, in Europe and the USA, another mid-size SUV of the brand came to its place - Kia Sorento.
January 2017 Russian representation The brand first announced the upcoming second restyling of the car. And the Koreans harness, we know, quickly, so they launched the production of a crossover at Avtotor in March.

Trunk volume - 350 liters, which grows to 2'765 liters, if all rear seats put on a flat floor. 82 liter fuel tank, which allows you to drive about 900 km without refueling.

Advantages and Kia disadvantages Mojave 2018-2019 in a new body identified based on reviews real owners. More detailed benefits and cons Mohave 3.0 diesel and 3.8 petrol with automatic and 4x4 all-wheel drive can be found in the stories below:
Owner reviews
On this moment, the car has been in my operation for 3.5 years (mileage 70,000 km), which allows me to give more balanced estimates of its performance.
The engine is perhaps the main advantage of the Mojave in the eyes of the public. But, for me personally, it is not so significant. The engine is frisky, picks up from the very bottom, a tangible margin “under the pedal”.
8-speed automatic transmission. Origin unknown. In general, the box is not satisfactory: it switches smoothly and does not blunt.
Four-wheel drive. The all-wheel drive system, of course, is far from off-road, but for my modest purposes it is quite enough. So far, I haven’t stuck anywhere, but I haven’t climbed into serious off-road either.
Suspension. Front - springs, rear - pneuma. The stock suspension is American-style soft, suggests a good pavement and is afraid of sudden changes. In general, I like this. Of the minuses: roll, sometimes rearranges rear axle on the bumps.
Controllability. Well, what kind of controllability can such a barn have? The steering wheel is empty and “long”, and the brakes are somewhat cottony.
Interior. In beige, it looks very expensive and cozy, and subdued lighting in wood-like door inserts (by the way, very natural) gives the interior a zest. Most of the plastic is hard. The salon itself is seven-seater. One of the most spacious salons in class. But you quickly get used to the good, and you want even more - for example, as in the new Patrol.
Noise isolation. On top, many praise. As for the audio system, it produces quite acceptable sound from a good source. Radio sound is mediocre.
Review of Kia Mojave 3.0D (250 HP) AT 2012
Video review
I took it new in the cabin in August 2013. Twice (2015 and 2016) I went on trips around Europe for 6.5 - 7.5 thousand kilometers with daily runs up to 1,500 km. By good roads it moves very comfortably, the power is prohibitive (of. the dealer reprogrammed the brains with the preservation of the guarantee up to 300 hp). In general, the Kia Mojave is very reliable car without any major breakdowns (never stopped operation due to repairs).
Advantages:
1. A bunch of a 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel with an 8-speed ZF automatic is a song (according to my measurements on an empty car, acceleration to 100 was 7.2 seconds after chipping).
2. The car never stood up due to breakdowns, drove every day.
3. The capacity is amazing (somehow I went on vacation through Helsinki airport with FOUR women and I - imagine how much luggage they had with them - everything fit in the trunk along with purchases made in Finland).
4. Very decent cross-country ability (after all, there is a razdatka lock and a lowering).
5. One of the last real frame jeeps.Of the shortcomings, I note:
1. The car is the flagship brands Kia but is very outdated. There are no heaps of little things a la rain sensor, etc., a camera in the rear-view mirror, outdated multimedia and a dashboard.
2. Air suspension is a quiet horror (wildly hard on small bumps, you have to slow down in front of speed bumps, clearance sensors flew out every winter rear suspension, changed under warranty, but driving with a non-working swap is rather uncomfortable).
3. Quite a big expense — no traffic jams 13-15l (summer-winter). When in the spring at work they transferred to the center (to Petrogradka) with serious traffic jams, the flow confidently crept to 18-19 liters.
4. Since a modern diesel engine (piezo injectors, high-pressure fuel pumps, etc.) had to be careful about the choice of gas stations (well, at least there is no particulate filter).Eugene, drives a Kia Mohave 3.0 diesel (250 hp) AT 2013
Where can I buy?
Torquey engine 250 hp picks up with a bang, the car is economical, the consumption at a speed of 100 km / h corresponds to the one declared by the manufacturer, roomy, suitable for a family of up to seven people, the interior is warm. It is easy to maintain and the prices for spare parts are reasonable and not expensive, 50% cheaper than on the Prado.
During the run under warranty changed the engine control unit, tie rods, rear view camera. The front cardan was replaced — according to the revocable company.
He himself changed the front and rear shock absorbers and springs to PRADOVSKIE - the front buildup went away, the car became stable on the go and at speeds of more than 100 km / h, replaced the front hub bearings.
Review of Kia Mojave 3.0 diesel automatic 2010
In general, the Kia Mojav is a so-so car. After not quite the same, but a win in the price-quality ratio. Although I think it might still be worth overpaying 20 thousand greens and taking more reliable brand. Moreover, the warranty declared by the factory is just an empty phrase!
Pros: the interior is wide and spacious, climate control and other bells and whistles of comfort are at the level, a rear-view camera and parking sensors without comment, at the level, and what is on the rear-view mirror is not for everyone. Extra seats are more of a plus than a minus. ABS a little late, good on the highway, holds the road, fuel consumption is pleasant, though on-board computer disingenuous, it can show 9.5 liters per hundred, but in fact there are 1.5 liters more.
A tank with a good capacity, a decent power reserve, this is especially noticeable when you drive through the expanses of Kazakhstan with runs between big cities (read gas stations with good gasoline) for 500 km or more. The engine leaves a good impression - throttle response is good, tears from the intersection, and when overtaking almost like a sports car.
On the downside: there were unpleasant and incomprehensible breakdowns, but everyone has them. Had to shoot twice petrol tank, in the first case, the power supply of the fuel pump failed (replaced), God was merciful and the worst did not happen. Then suddenly there was a smell of gasoline, it turned out to be a leak in the lower part of the tank (the armor is intact, but is there a leak ???), strange, I had to remove and brew.
There are a lot of complaints on the forums about the stiffness of the ride and shock absorbers - it's true! I have fasteners rear shock absorbers tore off with a difference of 30,000 km (the first after 90 thousand). Tore off the mount cup and shock absorber head. I also had to weld. Therefore, the declared characteristics are not true! Due to the elongated base, longitudinal buildup is detrimental to this car. rear passengers you can forget about comfort if the road is not very smooth and long.
