KIA Borrego Limited SEMA Concept

For this year's SEMA Show KIA has readied a subtly customized version of its new Borrego midsize SUV. The concept combines a black exterior paintjob with limo-style tint windows and enough chrome detailing to make a '57 Chevy look underrated. The SUV has also been lowered for a sleeker profile and outfitted with gaudy 22-inch Avarus Chrome Wheels and Spec-X 285/45R22 tires. Open up the doors and you're confronted with a custom-made leather interior boasting what appears to be alligator-skin (hopefully faux...) inserts on the seats. We'll probably forget this concept in less time than it takes an F1 car to go from naught to 60.
