Korean carmaker has released a high-end
model for the local market only called Mohave Gravity.
Based on the Masters top-level trim, the special edition model brings several
enhancements inside and out.
The most noticeable change on the outside
is the black radiator grille which also gets different inserts instead of the
chrome vertical bars found on lesser models. According to Kia, the new black
radiator grille is inspired by arrowheads and makes the DRLs and Mohave badge
stand out more.
The Kia Mohave Gravity also features
black-painted 20-inch wheels matching the updated grille. Kia says the
six-spoke rims emulate the shape of a snowflake crystal. Moving on to the
interior, which was redesigned for 2020, the Gravity package rather
unexpectedly brings an Alcantara upgrade. The soft material covers the steering
wheel rim, center console armrest, door armrests, and the center door panel.
Additionally, mood lighting has been extended to the front door panels as well.
Convenience upgrades include the introduction of a new cup holder on the second
row of Mohave six-seat models, with the headrests also gaining increased
lateral support.
No changes take place in the powertrain
department as the Kia Mohave Gravity features the same 3.0-liter turbodiesel
producing 256 HP and 560 Nm of torque. The engine
is mated to a standard eight-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive.
The Kia Mohave Gravity went on sale in Korea on May 7 with prices starting at
55,500,000 won (US$ 45,500) for the five-seat variant. Six- and seven-seat models
are also available.
