Kia is now a well-recognized brand in India. The journey started with Seltos, Carnival, and Sonet and these cars soon became popular in their segments. Kia is now looking to enter other segments to cater to a wider audience. They have already entered the MPV space that was dominated by Maruti Ertiga by launching the Kia Carens. We expect Kia to launch a full-size SUV in India as well. This segment is currently dominated by the Toyota Fortuner. There is a very capable SUV in Kia’s global portfolio that can compete against the Fortuner, the Kia Mohave. In this article, we will discuss the upcoming Kia Mohave and what this SUV has to offer.

Kia Mohave fits the bill

The Toyota Fortuner is based on a ladder-on-frame chassis, making it rugged and off-road capable. Kia Mohave is also based on the ladder-on-frame chassis and is equally rugged which makes it perfect to compete against the Fortuner. Kia could place the Mohave in the full-size SUV segment and price it between Rs 40 to Rs 50 lakh to take on the Fortuner.
