Glad it was helpful!

05:04 That’s interesting that your test vehicle didn’t come with spare tire, I’ve seen a couple other Kia Sportage Hybrids that still had a spare tire instead of the mobility kit. It must be an option that you have to pay extra for lol.

[@yourmanzach2307]

its pretty cool to see 330 miles to empty at 3/4 tank.

Getting 39mpg on my AWD which is 1 higher than estimated, maybe just the type of drive? I don't have to do high traffic stop and go to and from work, so there's that

[@ruslanis]

Thank you for review, but where did you get thus price. The price for this car starts from 36k.

[@CarDietrich]

6:37 from the car’s original window sticker

[@ruslanis]

@@CarDietrich I also saw the sticker on your review. I just can't understand why in California prices on hybrid car a much more expensive.

[@CarDietrich]

If the dealers are marking them up or adding extra items to the price that might explain it, I typically go by what the MSRP is in my videos because different dealers in different areas will charge different prices for this same car, and I can't know all those variables.

@@ruslanis california is trash.

[@DumSpiroSpero864]

27k for the LX and dealer willing to come down a little more in NC

[@edwinpolanco5329]

My 23 sportage hybrid, has heated seats

[@BigfootXVI]

mine too, that comes with the AWD models but not the FWD which is the TRUE base model, at least that's how it was explained to me
