What do you guys think of the way the new Sportage looks? This or a Hyundai Tucson?!
The Sportage is just 🔥. I'd definitely take it over the Tucson
Definitely a more cohesive look in the Sportage much preferred. The Tucson is over styled and the front and back look like they were designed by two different teams
The Sportage looks stunning!
I just purchased this exact same car (GT-LINE turbo diesel) on the weekend and I must say I absolutely love everything about it!
Tucson for Mine. Think it'll age better....
I was waiting for your review on this one! I love your reviews so much, always super informative!
Good review Matt, I just happen too visit my local Kia dealership 4 days ago, and they gave me their base model Sportage in White for a few hours just too experieince it, it was such a great ride, and first time I have ever driven an SUV, and personally I love that blue paintwork on the Sportage you reviewed.
it isnt a tablet holder on the back of the front seats it is a coat hanger
It's a tablet holder. I own it and my kids don't hang their coats on it
I saw one yesterday and it really is an eye catcher
Very entertaining you are!!! Subbed. Love the video. I think I’m gonna get this
Great review
Thanks Matt for this enthusiastic review of the new Sportage.
I test drove the GT diesel and I agree with all your comments. I loved it!
I have a GT diesel (in the junglewood green) on order from a few weeks ago. Hopefully delivery not too many months in 2022.
Best wishes for the festive season and thanks again !
I picked mine up on the weekend (GT-LINE turbo diesel) really happy with it!
@@InIn456 great ! Have a great Christmas in your new Sportage !!!!
I just ordered the GT-Line petrol and I cannot wait to experience the annoyance of the dual clutch! A little disappointed I didn't go for the turbo diesel; however the petrol was still wonderful to drive! Hope the diesel is going great!
Nice to see how u constantly compare with tucson since they have similar market. U do have a more youthful vibe vs carexpert channel.👍
Just purchased my GT Line in Jungle Green. Chose the diesel as I drive in the country mostly and was very happy with the suspension tune. Trying patiently to wait until it arrives next month.
Good to see colours other than shades of grey are in fashion.
You got me quite excited talking about the diesel priced at $54990 for the MANUAL at 7:52 but sadly I think that is a typo?!
Got mine getting delivered next week. Vesta blue GT line. Blue wasn’t my choice but it was the only one available
I just hope the dash rattles don’t come around at around 80,000 kms like my previous two sportages.
Just ordered a Hyundai santa fe Phev in UK but really wish we could get the 2.2 diesel still.
I love the looks of my 2013 sportage LX AWD better approach and departure than later models 2.4l 176hp 168tq differential lock, down hill decent excellent sportage imo
While I really like both SUV's, and KIA has the extra Warranty, it's also about previous dealer experience. As a two time (one dealer) Hyundai owner, while the KIA seems marginally better, I've had an excellent relationship with my dealer. On that basis I would probably buy a Tuscon. However, the next shopper will be a Picanto. [weird I know, but Hyundai doesn't market the i10 in Oz]
I already own KIA Sportage but 4th (current) generation. I like my car, but I also fall in love with this new generation of Sportage. I like new KIA logo as well. I'm afraid it won't be launched in Pakistan in near future. May be it's late to be arrived here...
great review, mate! much better than those robotic human car reviews with the same language lol
Love the interior, not sure about the exterior. Personally I prefer the look of it's predecessor.
What happened to your s model review?
I’m not sure if this was an accident or purposeful, we’ll say it was on purpose because I like Mat’s vids, but at 10:53 it was a sorento instead of a shortage. Maybe it was a little easter egg…
It’s a really unique looking car
Definitely is! Do you like it?
Kia makes great cars but the dealership experience is utter garage. The memory of purchasing a new stinger and the dealer couldn't even be bothered putting my new car in the showrooms on delivery day and it was delivered to me on the side street instead has ruined the Kia brand for me forever. Not to mention the endless frustration with any warranty claims like I had to go to the service department like 6 times just to fix up headlight issues really makes the extended warranty seem pointless.
Great review as always :)
Yeah I went to one Kia dealership, they didn't even have aircon on in the showroom. It was terrible! I went to another, and completely different experience. Looking forward to picking it up next week hopefully!
Sportage and Tucson, both are the most beautiful SUVs at the moment
First time I've seen you vids, do you growl talk even when you whisper?
Kia has longer warranty but higher servicing costs, so basically you pay for the extended warranty, it is not free. Apparently the Tucson Highlander has a better stereo than the Sportage GT. The bass on the Sportage is a bit thin. Personally I prefer the looks of the Tucson. Both are excellent cars and mostly identical except for superficial things. Also check out the towing. With the Tucson you can upgrade the ball weight to 140kg from 100kg. I am not sure you can do that with the Kia (check if important to you).
Is the T Diesel engine the same in both of the top specs?
The upgrade is to 160kg towball down weight and 1900kg braked towing. Which is enough to justify the Tucson for my situation. Tried both. Both great packages, this extra towing was a deciding factor for me.
I found the engine in the S fine, nothing special of course, but for a regular mum or my fiancee, it's absolutely fine. Paying an extra $5k for the diesel just wasn't worth it... And unless I wanted to order one from scratch and wait 6months+, the only diesels Kia dealers are bringing in are the SX or Gtline, which makes it about $8k than the base S.
What a rough voice that you are trying to make, I like that you are excited , maybe more than needed 😂 , but good review anyway
The infotainment system needs work.
Due to the location of the USB plug, and also the 'just right' size of the charging pad it just doesn't work!
If you have a regular USB cable plugged into the car it's in the way to put your phone on the charging pad.
But that's OK, if you have a USB cable plugged into your phone it won't fit on the charging pad anyhow.
But it's got wireless, why would you need to actually use a cable you ask.....
Well to use Android Auto or Apple CarPlay would be the answer.
You can't use 'voice dialing' natively, only through AA or ACP!
So, plug in the USB cable, drag it over the piano black centre console to your phone in the cup-holder!
It's got that beautiful 24 inches of display screens that many of the icons and controls you just can't reach while driving unless you stretch forward way more than you should have to while you are driving.
Kia, it's all software, configuring the controls and icons "the other way around" for R.H.D models really can't be that hard!
I bought the sportage a week ago (gt line 1.6 Lt PETROL) and thought I had made a mistake for what he said about the engine) so I still don't know if that was a good purchase or not. Is then petrol one that bad????
The issue I had with that engine was it’s pairing to the dual clutch which is the issue for me. I think for most people though, it will be a totally fine choice 😊
I also just brought the sx + petrol 1.6l turbo. Cause that's all I could get in petrol. Coming mid may. Every other option is 9-12months away.
The front does look like a chonked up K5, which itself looks like a xenomorph.
Oh boy!. It is not a tablet holder 😒 6:33
Can someone not just add a vynil wrap to that piano black console?
I test drive the basic model. The lowest range because that’s all they have in stock. I love the exterior but not interior. The interior too plastic for my liking. When turning a sharp but slow turning. I find it wobble abit. Well, just my personal experience. I’m sure when driving the higher range I’ll have a different experience! :-)
This guy is way too excited
I bought 1.6 L Turbo Patrol and had 950km on it. I found very sporty and smooth DCT. I don't know why he is saying 1.6 L is soo bad? I am Ex owner of kia optima GT 2016 model. I found same power on lower 1.6 L Engine.
I have one on order and have noticed that many reviewers are really bagging the 1.6 TP and favouring the 2L diesel. Are you happy with yours?
@@aliboga I am very happy and satisfied with the vehicle. After break-in Engine at 1000km, I went for mild off-roading to Flea Creek Campground and vehicle didn’t miss a beat.
@@hinan187 great to hear and a bit of a relief to read that. I'm very rarely going to do off-roading. I think that most professional reviews are beyond the expectations of the every day driver and are a bit over critical. Thanks for taking the time to respond mate 👍
@@aliboga I agree with you, everytime I find a car I like I come here to watch review and I end up not liking the car anymore because they over-review them a lot (I bought the sportage a week ago (gt line 1.6 Lt petrol) and thought I had made a mistake for what he said about the engine) so I still don't know if that was a good purchase or not.
@@maxellmede G'day. I just brought an sx + 1.6L petrol. Coming mid may. Had me worried with his review haha. How you finding the car now
Super-sick looks, I ❤️ it! But do yourselves a favour, don't get the 2.0L Hyundai/Kia engine -- it's gutless and too under-powered. That's coming from a current owner of Hyundai + Kia and a huge fan of these brands. The 2L engine is amazing in the Seltos because it's lighter but it's not enough for the larger Tucson/Sportage. 🍻
Do they come with the turbo petrol option?
Yes. 1.6 turbo engine. This KIA Sportage is basically cousin to the new Hyundai Tucson. I have the new 1.6T Hyundai Tucson highlander. Drives like a dream. 😄
Yes it’s the midspec engine the diesel is the top of the range and the base in only a 2.0 non turbo with FWD
@@maxd4968 I would take the turbo petrol engine over the diesel every day of the week,but I'm not in the market for a new car
Yep where buying one most likely the turbo petrol simply because we already have a diesel car
I say this with love as a fellow thicc boy, but the fish-eye lens at 2:45 is not your friend.
Haha you live and you learn 😂
Waiting for the Hybrid
I thought you were Luka Doncic! 😅
Diesel ok for short trips, I mean with the dpf potential to clog up
Hopefully not 😅
Is the Kia Sportage newer than the Kia Seltos?
Yes
It would have been great if they launched a more luxurious version similar to the K8, which they won’t launch here.
They need to add wireless apple CarPlay and to get rid of that piano gloss.
I think someone has been watching too many John Cadogan videos
LOL tablet holder.
Man Kia should offer 20 inch rims on the new sportage. 🤣🤣
maybe the new x trail Ti-L is a better option
where the hell do you buy one even if you want one. The wait times for deliveries is so long, the 2023 model will be out before car deaalers have any stock.
stuff the diesel model. over 50k for this is way over priced, but the cheaper 2.0 petrol model for just over 30k is a far better deal
Just over 30? In QLD, they're $38k driveaway...
New Qashqai is better! My opinion.
Stop speeding on the Tulla or at least don’t show the speedo. You are the only review that mentioned no rear seat heating. Looks better than the Tucson, however would you wait 6-12 months longer for this than the Tucson if you ordered it? Micro chip delays are affecting KIA much more than Hyundai currently.
When did I speed on the tulla or show the speedo? The 0-100 is filmed on a closed road
Hyundai told me 6months+ to get a Tucson. Kia at least had some cars on the way over and I got one of those that matched our requirements...
The chip delays are just industry bullshit so they can justify the higher prices and longer wait times
A 2.4 litre four would be better.
Why review cars you can't buy without waiting a year
Not a fan of the look looks like a citrone from the 2010s
I don’t like the look. I love Tiguan and Mazda cx 5
ALL THREE have weak engines.
Front and rear of the car doesn't look as good as the Tucson and the fact that you cannot option OUT those bloody ugly plastic wheel arches is an opportunity missed ( the Tucson N-line gives colour coded wheel arches NOT grey plastic ) . In my opinion the only winning features are the continuous 24inch screen , some knobs instead of touchscreen and the 7 year warranty .
Do not like the look of it one bit ( ugly looking )
The Sportage is the right car for ADHD guys like you. I prefer the Tucson with its sleek design. The Sportage interior is overdesigned, too crowded and confusing to look at and use.
Also, buying a diesel is a real no go in Europe. We only have hybrid variants, from a mild to a plugin.
That’s very rude Cas! 😈
Not the case here with diesel or though they are disappearing from smaller cars now (Kia, Hyundai, Mazda and Nissan are now the only brands to offer a diesel in a non luxury midsize suv now that there isn’t one in the outlander)
Ugly design
Very ugly front design
