🏆Do you think the Sportage potential drawbacks outweigh its strengths for your needs?🤔 🔴Brandnew 2025 Honda HR-V Stuns Everybody WATCH HERE! 👉th-cam.com/video/bbUBGMe37nU/w-d-xo.html
I bought a 2024 Sportage SX Prestige in Wolf Grey with the Carmine Red Interior. My wife loves it! It's an extremely comfortable car to drive and take on road trips. It's loaded with all the bells and whistles. Panoramic Sunroof, Ventilated Seats, 360 degree cameras, Dual 12 inch infotainment display, Premium Sound System, excellent navigation. My favorite feature of the car is how well the lane assist feature works. So much better than any other car I've rented as far as the reaction time and ease of use. It's not the most powerful SUV around, but people are not buying this car for the towing capacity, and it moves fast enough for my liking. I love all the tech packed into this vehicle and it looks really nice. The only 2 things I don't love about this car is 1. There is no way to turn off the cargo light when the power hartch is open, and 2. The subwoofer kinda stinks, but that's ok, I plan on getting a JBL spare tire subwoofer installed soon. Kia really is making some high tech vehicles that look great.
I'm buying an ex premium with red leather vented seats. Test drive like a dream, stear is tight, suspension is like driving on controlled clouds, price is decent. Why do you need crazy hp and offroad? Luxury, dependability, comfort and space seem most important.
I have had my 2011 Kia Sportage since April 2011. Mine is the turbo. It has about 238k on it. It still looks awesome. My turbo has not gone out since I purchased it. The maintenance has been minimal. I have been super-pleased with it. I paid 24k after tax and it’s lasted me 12 solid years. I have had just minor issues. I would definitely buy another Sportage.
Owner of a 2023 LX model here: After 2 full years with the gas-powered engine, me and my wife are IN LOVE with the sweet, sweet ride!!! Reliability, quality, suspension, ergonomics, miles-per-gallon, our Sportage will be in the family for a l-o-n-g time!!!!!!
It's interesting that the 6 reasons listed are not reasons anyone is going to buy a Sportage anyway. i agree with other commenters that this list is a bit bogus.
In June 2020 I was sSOOOOOO excited to by my first truck, a 2020 Ford F-150. By early 2022 (March) I had an engine leak which exposed a MAJOR transmission issue. I sold the truck. Never again Ford.
This is such a bogus list. I drove a PHEV Rav4 which costs 10k more and it was like the stone age compared to the sportage. Talk about boring to drive... Have you ever actually drove these 2 vehicles??
That's our average ( 37.8)MPG in our 2023 EX non hybrid with 36,000 miles, tows my 1622 Action Craft very well, it is black with light grey interior that looks almost white, we take it to Orlando almost every month and that trip is usually between 42 to 44 mpg for the entire round trip including driving around there , it has plenty of power to drive any where , I don't know why people need a Ferrari to get around , of all my cars, vans and trucks through out my life the only car faster than this, was my 1988 IROC-Z and I never notice they were too slow.
The only 2 good points there are Towing capacity & Offroad capability The rest of this list can be true/false fully depending on how you drive Relying on Solid numbers when it comes to mpg or How "Fun" or "Boring" driving is when all of those cars in that same category has varying drive modes that can greatly influence the result is really the least practically realistic way to compare competitors.
Buy it : i was going to buy BMW x1 , after waiting 7 months to come i cancel my order. İ had 2016 A4 so checked Q3 to continue audi but q3 just have driver seat auto so gave it up too. Mercedes order system is different in my country. So start to look at to others, than i saw sportage, didnt even know changed the look. I learn that sportages designer is bmw designer ….. and bought it. Just love my kia now
The car so far has had 2 slow tire leaks, the exhaust emission valve needs replacement. Avnel Kia not so coordinated with vacations and letting the other person know to call the customer that the part is in and to schedule service appointment. I had to call them after 3 weeks. A third issue has popped up and there are no loaner cars available. I wish I had bought a BMW or Mereceds. KIA Corporate is not providing enough training to their dealerships clearly. Stay tuned to my next follow up post.
The lane assist on this model almost hurt my son the other day, could have killed him. It pulled him off the road and into the ditch. Avoid this model.
I owe a 2015 kia sportage lx ,, going down the highway the engine blew , 123,000 km , i got recall 2yrs beforesaying do not park in a garage as it can catch fire, really , kia did put in a new engine free of charge ..because kia had a court order of there faulty suv, buyer Beware.lesson learned
KIA car is not reliable & their parts break down faster than Toyota. For example, Toyota alternator or starter can last up to 120-150k before u replace it... KIA last only 80k. Go with toyota.. it will u ton of times.. Korea cars look good but parts suck big time

Video is dumb. I am buying a Sportage today just to spite this video.

😂😂 brokie
Same bought a brand new today,

@@shanefisher2972 we got the same interior hahhaha

I got a 2024 Kia Sportage base model and its awesome. No issues whatsoever. 9 months in.

I don’t care if the Ford got 100 MPG I’d never buy one. JUNK
I have a 2019 ranger and the fan clutch just blew up lol
@@bubblesss20 wow that sucks, sorry to hear that

This is such a bogus list. I drove a PHEV Rav4 which costs 10k more and it was like the stone age compared to the sportage. Talk about boring to drive...
Have you ever actually drove these 2 vehicles??
Agree.
This is true. The RAV4 needs a redesign badly, and the Sportage proves it. The only gripe is no wireless autoplay. WTF were they thinking?
I’ve got a 22 sportage I’m happy no problems reliable suv
Kia sportag 2022 is that good car?
normally the trolls are in the comment section...in this case the troll is the author of the Vid..
yeah, you're definitely correct
I just got 37.3 mpg on the highway in my 2024 Sportage E x Impressive.
Could you please let know is it Hybrid or gas?
I am just going to buy mine this week 😍

@@Maximillion07 You not be disappointed...I got mine last July and love it, sure I would loved to have upgraded model if I could afford it.
Love mine. Non turbo GDI/MPI engine, standard AT. Its not a fast car by any means but its smooth and comfortable.
I ❤️ Kia Spotage SX Prestige and Sorento Hybrid SX Prestige!
I bought a 2025 black edition very nice
I never got better than 28-29 on my HRV.
I love my Sportage full optional
It’s so sad how America has the base engine but Australia has a 1.6t petrol 2.0 petrol and 2.0t diesel
I have a 2023 SX Hybrid, and the only valid reason from this video is #1... especially in the market I bought it in. We paid $3k over MSRP.
I like my 2023 Subaru Forester Premium. And I'm old, not fruity.
,sportage non plug in all wheel drive hybrid,best suv value in America. I bought 2023 in August of 2002.
I don’t think anyone with Towing’s in mind would but a compact suv. Makes no sense.
I live in New York. I can get around with a car that only goes 30 miles an hour.
The only 2 good points there are Towing capacity & Offroad capability
The rest of this list can be true/false fully depending on how you drive
Relying on Solid numbers when it comes to mpg
or How "Fun" or "Boring" driving is
when all of those cars in that same category has varying drive modes that can greatly influence the result
is really the least practically realistic way to compare competitors.
Comfort and boot space in the RAV 4 are incomparable to the Sportage , for me this is a useless video ...
Comparing cars in the same price range coulve been useful

I love how you bought a Kia when BMW and Mercedes are within your budget range. Facking priceless comedy right here.
Well it’s 6 cylinder 2.4l what’s more is there to now I love mine but guantéese to be slow lol
What did Kia do to make bro this mad? 😂
The lane assist on this model almost hurt my son the other day, could have killed him. It pulled him off the road and into the ditch.
Avoid this model.
That sounds like a user-error
But keep your conspiracy :)
Low Efficiency when you driving in flexible (driving like turning lane it can't start fast) & high fuel ⛽️
Having driven one Kia sportage, it really does lack power
I owe a 2015 kia sportage lx ,, going down the highway the engine blew , 123,000 km , i got recall 2yrs beforesaying do not park in a garage as it can catch fire, really , kia did put in a new engine free of charge ..because kia had a court order of there faulty suv, buyer Beware.lesson learned
6 bogus reasons.....
this video is dated. the sportage now features turbos, at least in its hybrids.
2024 rear seat floor mat manufactured too big.
This must be in comparison to a Urus.
kia wins with looks and interior but……..😢
Why are you covering anything not hybrid in a crossover suv? No one cares about small gas guzzlers.
This review has been brought to you by Toyota.
lol…. Poor video …. My EX variant arriving next week
KIA car is not reliable & their parts break down faster than Toyota. For example, Toyota alternator or starter can last up to 120-150k before u replace it... KIA last only 80k. Go with toyota.. it will u ton of times.. Korea cars look good but parts suck big time
I don't own a Kia but what a garbage video.
definitely a rubbish video creation
Get a clue
The front is over styled; just ugly. Reminds me of the old Pontiac Aztec.
C brand nothing less though
