Why should I also consider these?

Kia likes to present the Borrego as a luxury SUV "contender." Experts at TheCarConnection.com think Kia has not so much created an alternative to Lexus, Infiniti, or Cadillac, but delivered an excellent alternative to the fleet of well-known body-on-frame SUVs.

The 2009 Kia Borrego provides slightly more interior room than these competitors and, with the V-8, more power than any of them.

The standard seating for seven is an advantage over several of these SUVs, but the Honda Pilot can carry one more.

The Borrego doesn't present itself as a serious off-roader, as it lacks locking differentials and other off-road goodies to compete against the trail-rated Jeeps.

Kia's price advantage is more toward the base vehicles where the Borrego's level of standard equipment exceeds the others.

 
2009 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
Families can do much better with any of the more modern crossover SUV designs—including Chevy’s own Traverse—but the 2009 Chevrolet TrailBlazer is still a good vehicle for towing purposes.
 
2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee
The 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a genuine dual-purpose SUV that can handle daily commutes almost as easily as sandstone trails.
 
2008 Toyota 4Runner
The 2008 Toyota 4Runner isn’t as roomy or as efficient as newer crossover designs, but if you need towing or off-road capabilities, it’s a good, safe choice.
