The Kia Mohave is Kia's body-on-frame SUV, a V6 alternative to the more common crossovers on this list, built for towing and long desert distances rather than tight parking.
Later cars from the 2020 facelift onward get the more refined V6 and updated interior tech, and are worth the premium if you can find one. Earlier cars are mechanically sound but feel dated inside next to newer crossovers at similar money.
The Hyundai Tucson is smaller and easier to live with day to day, with a lower mechanical fault rate too. The Haval H6 GT is a newer-feeling crossover at similar money if you do not need body-on-frame toughness. The Chevrolet Captiva is worth avoiding by comparison, with a higher mechanical fault rate than expected.
Its electrical systems hold up well — no electrical or electronics fault turned up across the Mohaves we inspect, against the 16% we would expect for SUVs of this age and mileage in the Kingdom. That is a genuine strength on a vehicle with this much wiring for towing and off-road equipment.
The CarSwitch inspection report is the fastest way to confirm a specific Mohave has been used within its limits, not beyond them.
