Safety is the greatest comfort of all. That’s why the Kia Borrego comes with so many standard safety features. Take Hill Assist Control, for example. If you tow a trailer or even if you don’t you’ll appreciate the way this confidence-inspiring feature holds brake pressure on an uphill grade for the brief moment it takes to move your foot from the brake to the accelerator. So you don’t have to worry about roll-back. Borrego is also equipped with standard Downhill Brake Control that uses the anti-lock braking system to hold the vehicle to a steady speed on steep slopes so you can concentrate on steering.
