New Mohave Lands in Moscow with a Price Cut
In Russia, the updated 2025 Mohave has arrived in showrooms with a notable twist: the Premium+ configuration now carries a lower price. The first units are already on sale in Moscow, priced at 8.15 million rubles, with a handful of examples expected to reach dealers in Saint Petersburg soon, according to SPEEDME.RU experts.
Price Change and Market Context
The headline change is the price. Last year, a similarly equipped Mohave cost around 9.3 million rubles. This year, the model has fallen by more than a million rubles, a meaningful reduction for a frame-based diesel SUV, especially amid parallel import duties and currency fluctuations that affect the Russian market.
Under the Hood: Performance and Specs
The Mohave is powered by a proven 3.0-liter V6 diesel delivering 249 horsepower, paired with an automatic transmission and permanent all-wheel drive. The SUV accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.7 seconds, a competitive figure for a vehicle of nearly five meters in length that combines on-road comfort with off-road capability.
Premium+ Equipment
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- 360-degree cameras
- Comprehensive airbag package
- Projection head-up display
- Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- Ventilated and heated seats in all rows
- Power-adjustable seats with memory and a panoramic sunroof
Official Availability and Market Dynamics
Official Kia Mohave sales to Russia have ended, but the model continues to appear on the market through parallel import channels. It remains one of the few frame-based diesel SUVs available, and the model has earned a reputation for corrosion resistance in Russia’s demanding climate, a point often cited by buyers and dealers alike.
What This Means for Buyers
For potential buyers, the price cut is the headline, but there are important caveats. Parallel-imported vehicles may come with different warranty coverage and after-sales support compared to officially distributed models, and availability can be sensitive to currency movements and import duties. The Mohave’s robust diesel drivetrain and all-terrain capabilities still position it as a strong option in the premium SUV segment, particularly for those seeking a durable vehicle capable of withstanding harsh winter roads and off-road adventures. Financing terms and service network stability should be verified with local dealers before purchase.
Conclusion
As Korean automakers push to regain ground in Russia, the 2025 Kia Mohave with its new price tag signals a more aggressive pricing strategy. For buyers in Moscow and soon Saint Petersburg, the Premium+ variant offers a blend of premium comfort, strong diesel performance, and corrosion resistance at a value that could broaden the accessible premium SUV segment in the near term.
