A host of images showing the Kia Mohave’s interior
have surfaced online thanks to the company’s official South Korean website. Kia shared a single sketch of the
Mohave’s cabin towards the end of August, but these images show virtually every
aspect of the car’s interior design.
The new SUV’s cabin sports a dashboard that houses a
large horizontal touchscreen and a configurable second display for the
front-seat passenger. Elsewhere, Kia has included a 12.3-inch digital gauge
cluster that sits behind the redesigned four-spoke steering wheel and a Qi
wireless charging pad. The Mohave pictured also includes a number of wooden
trimmings, aluminum accents, and a mixture of black and beige-colored leather.
We can also see that there will be at least two
different HVAC options for rear-seat passengers. The first, and inevitably most
expensive, includes switches to direct the air as well as temperature
adjustments. The more basic configuration simply has a pair of air vents at the
rear of the center console.
Power is provided by a 3.0-liter diesel V6 that
reportedly delivers 256 HP and 560 Nm of torque, which is directed
to the all-wheel drive system via an eight-speed automatic transmission. A look
at the center console reveals that the new Mohave has six driving modes
(Comfort, Eco, Sport, Sand, Mud and Snow) for different driving conditions.
Kia’s new SUV will be unveiled in full in the coming
weeks, but it is still unknown if it will make a return in the U.S. market.
