Not the first tip from you I've found helpful with my recently purchased Kia Niro 3 EV - thanks. My wife's small wheelchair, even when folded in the boot/trunk, prevents the cargo cover being installed, and it sat unwanted in our front porch. Now it is stored safely in the car, available to be used if it should be needed - much more satisfactory. BTW, my son purchased the same car a year ago, and was about to purchase a trickle charger lead for around £250 when I told him about the spare wheel space you mentioned in one of your videos. He investigated and found the trickle charge lead supplied with the car that he did not know was there!
I understand the 2 spots on top and the stow away spot under the floor. Why would you move it to the spot just on top of the floor? It sounds like a useless spot.
Just a storage position to avoid storing it in garage, i prefer the good old firm parcel shelf which lifts with the boot/trunk opening and easily removable if needed.
Very helpful, thanks. I've purchased two Sportages and I'm very impressed with the features, attention to detail and equipment ranges. I had a Vauxhall before the Sportages and in my opinion there is no comparison. Kia cars are the real deal, Vauxhalls you pay (over the odds) for the badge.
That’s a very clever solution to the cover being in the way more than it’s useful. First thing I’ve always done with those covers is take them out and put them in the garage. Then they sit there till I sell the car
Thank you so much. I had no idea what those extra slots were before. This was very informative. Keep it up. It would also be awesome if you can teach me some more hidden features of the 2017 Hyundai Tucson because I just bought one and I love it.
??? Where do American buyers buy their cars? At an car dealer in Europe you get and app 1 hr instruction when you buy a new car and you can read the manual (mostly stored in the glove box, if you are able to read)
@@steffenrosmus9177 When we deliver a vehicle here, we allow the customer to take as much or as little time as they want with us. I promise you that your dealer didn't show you everything that I could have shown you, and it's entirely possible to get great instruction, read every page in the owner's manual, and still not retain every piece of information. Let's give people a bit of a break, and not criticize too much.
Thanks for that. 1st thing I did when buying the car was to remove this and put in garage as not required while I own the vehicle. Dealership were not aware of this underfloor storage.
I knew about all of those except for the under-floor one. Though, I do also use those sides for other things... pull the side floor panel out, and that is the perfect size to keep a gallon of washer fluid from flying all over the place.
I have a toyota rav4, and it has that cargo cover and the hidden compartment. I'll tell you, with all the neat little hidden features the only one that I love the most is the fact that my fishing poles fit perfect down in that hidden compartment! I also modified the clips that clip on to the back seat headrests to be a little tighter so I can toss a pole on top of that. my tackle box fits perfect down the hidden compartment also. NEVER buy a vehicle your poles won't fit in! words of wisdom :)
Thanks for watching! Yeah, a good sales team should know this, but they don't always have time to point out every single possible feature when they're delivering the vehicle. My own dad didn't know that his car did this until well after he bought his car, and I was pretty thorough in going over the features of his car.
I've taken a lot of heat for this video from people thinking that I shouldn't have bothered with filming this, so thanks for recognizing that this is useful, and maybe a helpful video.
Have the same thing in my 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. Bought it the car used with no cover. Bought the cover at Amazon, a lot cheaper than getting it at Hyundai.
I guess I'm not a smart arse like some of your f***wit know-it-alls, but appreciate the reveal. If I am carrying a lot of gear where the luggage profile goes above the cargo cover, its nice to know I can store the cover under the floor and not bury it in my garage, never to be found again. Thanks, for taking the time to make the video 👍
So, the big secret is that you can move it to other positions, the reason for which is not clear, or you can hide it away and forget about it under the floor ? Glad I watched now.
A lot of people didn't know about the under floor location. A lot of people didn't realize that it had multiple positions at all. I just made the video to do my job to help people, I'm not sure if it's fair to fault me that it doesn't help you.

It not a white balance issue, it is overexposure. Switch camera to manual exposure and adjust for person talking or limit amount of light hitting subject.
You're always bring something new and practical. I've a question for you on my 2023 hybrid sx prestige the woofer speaker on the trunk it's not working and no body from kia dealerships know how to make it work. Do you? Sal
I have learned so much from your videos because my 2022 Kia Sportage EX did not have any. Do you know where I can purchase them? The downloaded version is too small for my eyes to read. Thanks in advance and will check out more of your videos. Looking for how to start your vehicle from my key fob 🤞💙
Have a 2019 santa fe and my blind has lived under the floor since I purchased new as I use all of the 7 seats, btw other than the under floor square holes , there are only the two under the window, no holes above the floor
In Australia the Sportage comes with a full size spare so can't stick it under the load cover. I wish i could as it now just lives in a corner in the garage.
@@sunset8966 Have had it for 3 weeks and 500 miles. In US. SX-Prestige model. Third Sorento in a row: 2015, then a 2019. Other Kias: 2009 Rondo, 2017 Soul EV, and 2019 Niro EV. Other cars in that stretch: 2011 Jetta SportWagen TDI, 2011 Mini Cooper, and 2017 Mazda CX-5. Love it so far. As far as the drive, it’s great. Powerful enough, smooth enough, and agile enough. As far as the looks, mine is white and I love it. Interior is really nice. Everyone fawns over the vents, but I find that their location and adjustability leave a little something to be desired. Kids love the second row heated captain’s chairs, but I would have rather had a second row bench. It’s way more “tech forward” than the 2019, which makes things a little cumbersome, but it’s easy enough to figure out. I wish it had wireless Apple CarPlay. My 2019 had rain-sensing wipers, and this one doesn’t. Only a small loss. In some other countries there’s a HUD. I don’t miss it (my wife has it in her Mazda), but some folks might. I like all the safety kit, with one possible exception: That thing where the blind spot gets displayed on the dash. It might be useful in highway or dense urban driving, but in just driving around in the suburbs it’s distracting, and I turned it off. The fuel economy has been staggering, and we’re still breaking it in. I’m getting 60mpg overall. And the transition between propulsion systems is incredibly smooth. The third row is for occasional use, which is exactly what I want it for. Note that the side curtain airbags DO NOT protect third-row passengers. I didn’t want, and don’t need, something as big as the Telluride. Only direct competition coming to US in near term is the Outlander PHEV. The timing didn’t work for me, and I’m a bit of a Kia fan, and I just can’t get past the Mitsubishi’s looks, but that’s of course subjective. These are my initial thoughts. Happy to talk more. Good luck in your search.
The cargo cover stows under the floor on my 2014 Outback too, so it may be common to various manufacturers. Doesn't have a position for upright back seats, it has an annoying 4" fixed screen to cover the gap when seats upright. Hyundai's system better, now I just need to source a cover for my 2022 SF. :)
My 2015 Santa Fe has below floor storage with no panel removal required. Dealer showed me when I took delivery(new) Had a 2007 Subaru Forester before with no storage for cover - a real pain.
Thumbs up. Kias don't always come with spare tires. Usually Nav nor sat radio isn't available on their sound systems. Dealers will evade pointing this out or answering questions about that. Kias are great cars. We love ours.
I got a 2007 with 3rd row seat, and with this slide shade in place you can't pull up 3rd row seat because it hits.. have to take out until you fold 3rd row down..
I feel so honoured and privileged to have this new found knowledge shared with me. It has made me a far better person. I now feel so free and at ease with my inner self. One with nature and my fellow travellers. Someday soon I may decide to take up Buddhism travel to the Himalayas and become a monk. All because of my new found knowledge of a cargo cover.
DI have a 2019 Santa Fe and would like to know if that floor panel come out? Something got spilled on mine and I would like to take it out to clean it.
My son picked up my Hyundai for me used from a private seller several states away (LA to IN), so a lot of information never got communicated. This is helpful. Thanks.
I have worked for kia for years and did not this. It’s a great way to move it out if the way if need be while traveling or without storing it in the garage to collect dust.
I just bought a 2023 Hyundai Kona. Can I get one of these retractable covers to replace the non-retractable, non-tuckable, non-foldable one that came with the car? I have to look for the little square holes. And by the way, snarksters, not everybody has a garage.
My question is, are these features in the owners manual, if they are then it is proof the people don't read the manual? They only consult it to do some lookup if there is a problem when the car won't start.
Cool video, but I had already worked out everything pointed out. Unfortunately, here in New Zealand, our Sportages are optioned with a full size alloy spare wheel and the cargo cover will not fit under the deck.
I just bought a 2019 Kia Niro Hybrid. Can you please give a tutorial on the hidden assets of the trunk, especially where one stores a spare tire?? Thanks.
I just checked my 2020 UK Niro Hybrid. There are no extra holes for mounting or storage of the cargo cover. Under the boot flap there is space for a full size spare wheel and a tool tray either side.
My car is a 2017 Kia Sportage GT line and i cannot lower the bottom boot floor nor can I store the cover below it as it's hitting the spare wheel. FYI the spare wheel is 245 45 R19
Knew about this, and in fact, it's one of the main reasons I purchased a Kia Optima, for the load cover stow-ability. Something not even my Ford Mondeo or Skoda superb could even do!
Awesome. I have seen some photos of models of the Sportage that have a storage space instead of the spare tire. Do you know which models have this? or is it an add-on option?
Should have mentioned the cover will not store in the back if you have a 19" alloy spare wheel (eg, Sportage GT line). It won't fit, the wheel is too high. Well thought out Kia... A feature available on the lower models, but not available on the high range.
Thank you so much for the useful lecture given on the cargo rear cover. It was useful to me.

I'm struggling to remove the panel, do you twist and lift, push and pull. No videos that I can find on how to get it out 😬

The spare tire should fit under the floor. If your vehicle has an inflator kid, you can buy the tire. The SX models come with the spare tire.
Underfloor storage doesn't work on the 2023 Australian SX+ version of the Sportage - the full size spare takes up too much space.

My spare tire is underneath the storage tray. Have you tried lifting it out?
Very helpful. Thank you
Very useful bit of info
Nice. I love this sort of stuff. I would say why are these tips not in the manuals but they just may be…
(Not everyone reads cover to cover…😁)
Should have mentioned the cover will not store in the back if you have a 19" alloy spare wheel (eg, Sportage GT line). It won't fit, the wheel is too high. Well thought out Kia... A feature available on the lower models, but not available on the high range.
