I believe the reason they may have not put the Turbo Charge on is because of the 8 speed transmission . With that many gears and the smooth shifting at closer intervals gives the effect of the vehicle moving at a quicker pace without the need for the turbo . I could be wrong but that is the only reason I can come up with .
Thanks for this!! That makes a lot of sense. That’s how it feels driving; like it’s moving faster than it should be able to!! lol but that’s what makes it fun to drive! Thanks for watching and for the comment! 👍
I think 3 adults would fit in the back seat, however, it might be tight for the person in the middle. I think everyone’s shoulders would be touching. Thanks for the question
I love this detailed review! I learned a lot about this vehicle, I love that it has so many safety features and the sporty and luxurious design! Video was also very engaging and informative to watch...thanks for sharing your expertise!!
Thanks a lot for the comment!! I enjoyed reviewing it, it’s an amazing vehicle! I predict top seller for midsize suv in 2023! Glad you enjoyed watching! Thanks again!
I have the X Pro n Wolf gray,with 11,000 miles on it.The power is adequate, love all the safety features. I think u should have shown how the dual control hvac and radio system work, and how the u can bring the compass up on screen and also shows the GPS coordinates. The only problem that I have had is my radio failed and had to have a new one installed, all coveted by warranty. The Sportage n my humble opinion is a great vehicle to own !!
That’s wolf grey is the Perfect color! Thanks for the feedback…(I didn’t even know about the compass on the screen!!!) so they had to install the entire screen? Or was there just a radio unit connected to it? I agree! It’s an awesome vehicle!! Huge kudos to Kia! Thanks for watching and for the comment!!
A great selling point of this engine is that it has duel fuel injection with GDI & MPI with eliminates the carbon buildup issues of regular direct injection engines. And that buildup harms the performance of the engine and is very costly to repair.
Bro I have had that vehicle for a year now in Wolf Gray. I'm actually trading it in (got about what I paid for it) for a 2023 Taco. I also have a 2023 Telluride that I love. The Sportage was great too...but the thing I absolutely hated the most was having media and climate controls on the same panel having to choose back and forth for function. This is one of the reasons I decided to part with it. Call me weird but it was so annoying that regardless of deciding go with a true truck this time, I probably would have still traded it for may the Hyundai Tucson or something. The other complaint I have about both Kias is after you park and turn them off....the screen does not recall what you had on last....you have to choose it. Other than that its hard to beat the Kias for what you get for your money.
Thanks for the feedback! It’s great to hear from an owner that’s had it for a while and experienced all its ins and outs! Those are some valid complaints that you have but I also agree with you, can’t beat a Kia for the price point considering all the other options you get! Thanks for watching and for the comment! Enjoy the new truck when you get it!
Gotcha! I didn’t have enough time to try out all of the driving modes. I would like to go back and do a whole review video on the differences between them. Thanks for the comment
Man, that thing is nice, but this is the kind of things I think about. Am I the only one that thinks the front turn signal looks like an upside down Wi-Fi signal? And how do you change the wiper blade on that rear wiper? 😂
😂 you are asking the right questions! I too wondered how you’d replace the rear wiper! And now that you’ve said it, all I can see is an upside down wifi-signal!!!! Thanks much for watching and for the comment as always!!
Your comment inspired me to think and research that as well. Appreciate you mentioning it as I didn't even think of that until I read your comment. Here's what I found that helps explain that process: th-cam.com/video/RjYpYNP3PpA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qSvGZdRlMB--7gaV

Tell me what you think about the 2023 Kia Sportage X-Pro Prestige AWD! Would you consider it for your next vehicle?
Never wanted an SUV before this came out. Gonna try to get this in wolf Grey next year when my lease ends. Great video bro

Is the Kia Sportage your next vehicle purchase?
This is a great car review of the 2023 Kia Sportage... love this video!!!! 😀😀
Thanks a lot bro!!! Definitely appreciate the comment and the support!!
This is a nice Sportage! love the interior. Great detailed review
Thanks a lot for watching! Thanks for the comment! Nice emoji!!!!👍
Could 3 adults (your size) sit in the back seat for a 30/35 minute drive ?
I think 3 adults would fit in the back seat, however, it might be tight for the person in the middle. I think everyone’s shoulders would be touching. Thanks for the question

Thanks a lot bro! I didn’t know that. Do you know if all the other has cars on Kias lineup have the same fuel fuel injection.
Your review was very good ,n my humble opinion !!
Thanks so much! I appreciate the comments!!! God bless!!
Great Video!!!

I have this vehicle and I agree about the screen it is very annoying. I wish it was a turbo as it lags speed.
They are nice looking and sporty. Great review on it keep it up 👍🙂💯
Thanks a lot bro! I agree, Kia did an amazing job with design in this one!!!
Nice vehicle with great features. It’s very sporty with a luxurious design. AWESOME video, you covered all the details….very enticing 😀
Thanks for watching! I agree, I love the design and details! Kia did a great job with the Sportage!!
Those are jacket and coat racks on the backs of the headrests 😉
Gotcha! Thanks bro! Yeah I figured the design was for hanging items. It’s a smart design! Thanks for the comment
Very Great Review!!
Thanks so much!! I appreciate the comment and thanks for watching! Are you planning to buy a Kia Sportage?
The drive modes work well, especially Sport mode if you’re needing to push it 👍🏾
Gotcha! I didn’t have enough time to try out all of the driving modes. I would like to go back and do a whole review video on the differences between them. Thanks for the comment
I have this vehicle and although it has all the bells and whistles I wish it had better pick up.
Thanks for the feedback! I was surprised that it wasn’t turbo charged. Do you think a turbo charged version would be better?
That's the model and year I'm purchasing except it with Glacier White Pearl/Ebony Black Roof.
Awesome! Congrats on the new purchase! Let me know how you like it once you take delivery!! #motivationcrew

How much is it?
Starts around $37k depending on the options you get
@@MeAndCarKeys it's not 37k
Highest trim u get get in 37k
Bcz my friend negotiated and got 3k off on MSRP
Kia toyota all lies
Artificial demand manicured by hand in glove with dealer and manufacturer
Just call 5 dealer in radius of 50miles after they say long wait one in transit can u give markup
Don't call them
Guarantee they will chase you to point they will take 2k to 3k off msrp and with no mark up
Wish it was faster lol
Lol I’ve heard that from a few people. Hopefully they come out with a Turbo charged version in the future! Thanks for watching
What is the sticker price for this model?
It’s around $38K new. I’ve seen some with dealer markup for as far as $45K!!
