Kia has released the first image and video of an interesting concept it created for the SEMA show.

It’s called the Forte Mud Bogger and obviously it’s meant for driving in mud. The Forte, for those who don’t know, is known in SA as the Koup.

The Mud Bogger features a four-inch lift and 28-inch off-road tyres.

On the inside it has two racing seats, but that’s pretty much it. The interior was stripped down to save weight and up performance.

No performance details have been released, but expect a healthy increase over and above the standard 150kW turbocharged 1,6-litre engine.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
