Borrego continues to offer the same unprecedented level of standard safety equipment as all Kia vehicles, with features such as advanced two-stage airbags, full-length side curtain airbags for all three rows, four-wheel disc brakes with an antilock brake system (ABS), electronic brake distribution (EBD), brake assist system (BAS), electronic stability control (ESC) and traction control (TCS), and a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Borrego also offers downhill assist control (DAC), which keeps the vehicle moving straight and steady down steep grades and helps to keep the wheels from locking, as well as hill assist control (HAC), which helps the driver move up steep inclines without fishtailing or allows the vehicle to stop uphill without sliding backward. Both functions are new to Kia.
Though the Borrego does not offer anything new to the market segment, like all other Kia models, it’s set apart by its comprehensive warranty program that offers unprecedented consumer protection. At the moment, warranty may not be the best way to sell vehicles, but in the Borrego’s case, it may be the crucial first step to make people enter Kia showrooms to discover that less is truly more.
