The 2008 Specialty Equipment Market Association -SEMA auto show opened it’s doors yesterday and on the same day Kia has also revealed what models had been brought to the show. Just in case you missed our yesterday’s report, Kia has put four striking concept models on display to it’s Las Vegas stand and for sure each of them will be gaining it’s fair share of attraction.
Since we know pretty much everything on the Soul Burner and the Koup concept, we will first focus on Borrego Limited concept and a modified version of the Rio5. Starting with the first one, here we have a set of official pictures from Kia Motors America.
Making it’s official debut yesterday, the Borrego Limited concept brings a host of chrome exterior features with plenty of bling on the custom shaped H-grille, front bumper, side mirrors, door handles and fender vents.
To project an assertive and sophisticated stance, Borrego Limited concept has been lowered and equipped with fancy five-spoke alloy-wheels in the size of 285/45 R22! Along with all the chrome bling, monochrome black paint and limousine-tinted windows, Borrego has been perfectly outfitted for, as Kia says, cruising down the Vegas strip.
Inside, Borrego Limited concept benefits from leather upholstery with alligtor skin pattern and a sound system backing up a TV and navigation system.

Escalade’s title as ‘King of Bling’ will temporarily be put on the Borrego. how would the grille look if the Kia Logo was shifted to between the ‘lips’ and enlarged?

Look for that Borrego in the forums. Tell me what you think!

looks horrible. maybe it looks good on optima cuz the grille is smaller, vertically.

i love it. they should sell a factory version of this.

I prefer the Mohave grille myself, I bet totally blacked out version with aSX style grille would look sweet..

Besides the blingtastic grill this thing looks hott! Are there any pics of the Rio5 concept, the Koup, and Soul Burner at the show??
November 6th, 2008 at 10:36 am
yes. there are pix on Kia media. the soul burner and koup are just the same concepts we’ve already seen. only the borrego and rio5 are actually modified.. And I agree on Harry’s comment.

Theres too much chrome for my liking, almost over kill, at the front at least anyway. Otherwise it looks pretty good.

The Limited Borrego has been out for a couple months although they are extremely hard to find. My dealer has already sold 4 Limited Borregos.
