Production history
The production model, designed by automotive designer Peter Schreyer, former chief designer for Audi, was introduced at the 2008 North American International Automotive Exhibition. The vehicle was originally shown as a concept car under the name Kia Mesa at 2005 North American International Auto Show and went on sale in Korea as Mohave before it was released in the United States. In the US, Borrego went on hiatus for the 2010 model year, with no word on returns or cancellations, after being lower than expected sales in 2009.
On December 2, 2010, Kia's website no longer lists Borrego as a production model, and previous addresses for it advertise the new Kia Sorento as a replacement vehicle. Kia, however, still continues to sell Borrego in Canada, which means Borrego is a Canada-only nameplate from 2010-11.
On October 28, 2011, the car was stopped with Sorento as a substitute, except the Middle East, Central Asia, Brazil, Chile, and Russia.
