Interior & Safety
While standard roof rails and an integrated, covered tow hook are impressive, it's on the inside that the value message of a 2009 Kia Borrego comes to the fore. Even at the base LX level, the options list is very short which makes the standard equipment list very long. That list includes multiple driver-seat adjustments (including lumbar support), cruise control, keyless entry, power windows, door locks and outside mirrors, plus three months of free satellite radio. You even a standard back-up warning system.
Highlights for the move up to the Borrego EX include power front seats (8-way for the driver, 4-way for the passenger), dual-zone climate control, audio controls on the steering wheel, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob.
Now close your eyes and think of just about everything else you could wish for, and that's just about what you get with the Borrego Limited. Leather seating, heated front seats, and a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel (all elements of the Luxury Package option for the EX) come standard, as do rear-seat air conditioning, a sunroof and a 10-speaker Infinity sound system, which, along with running boards and a rearview camera make up the EX Premium Package option.
All 2009 Kia Borregos offer three rows of seating with good head room throughout (limited leg room in the rear, though). While there's only 12.4 cubic feet of storage space with all the seats up, the 2nd and 3rd rows will fold neatly flat to open up 97.6 cubic feet of cargo area with all the seats folded flat.
The airbag count for the Borrego is six (frontal-impact and side-impact airbags for the driver and front-seat passenger, plus side-curtain airbags that cover all three rows), plus a kneebag for the driver on V-8 models. Traction and stability systems are standard on all Borregos, as is an emergency-sensing brake-assist system.
