Amerigon, a US-based manufacturer of products based on thermoelectric device technologies, has announced that its proprietary heated and ventilated seat system will be offered as an option for the front seats of the 2010 Kia Mohave and 2010 Kia Borrego mid-size sport utility vehicles.
According to Amerigon, both vehicles include a 3.8-liter V6 engine with a six-speed automatic transmission and premium features and amenities, including its heated and ventilated seat system. This seat system utilizes Amerigon's proprietary air distribution system and heating technology to provide year-round comfort for value-conscious customers.
The Kia Mohave is the vehicle nameplate sold overseas in the Middle East, Africa, South America and Korea; while the vehicle nameplate sold in the US is the Kia Borrego. The vehicles are expected to be in showrooms in summer 2009.
Daniel Coker, president and CEO of Amerigon, said: "Having the company's heated and ventilated seat system offered for the first time on these vehicles manufactured by Kia is a significant accomplishment for the company. We are pleased to expand our partnership with Kia and hope to offer our seat systems in additional Kia vehicles in the future."
