Gentlemen, looking sharp. Mason puts on a sweater and sounds like a financial planner with all those "dividends" 😁. Great first-look 👍, can't wait for the hybrid review.
I love what these Korean brands are doing! The styling of the new Sportage is very Saab/Jaguar inspired. The interior is unmatched compared to the ho- hums of Honda CRV and Toyota Rav4. I mean, can Honda or Toyota make an exterior and interior like this? I tell you, that Albert Biermann and Peter Schryer is a blessing to the Korean brand trio (Kia, Hyundai, Genesis)...Of course people will throw salt and trash talk about the Korean brands because they low-key jealous of the attention.. Not to mentioned, racking up awards for safety and best value for the money. I definitely buy this new 2023 Sportage for myself. Especially in White with a Panoramic roof option and AWD.
Yes. The quality and safety ratings of the South Korean brands is exactly why it’s so hard to get so many of the models right now. I’m on a waitlist for a Genesis GV80, but it’s going to be a long wait.
@@Carfan678 I thought about getting the Tiguan for an upgrade. Then I thought about VW maintenance cost. This new Sportage is very bold in design, which I like. Kia and Hyundai design philosophy is grabbing a lot attention...I was riding with my friend the other day and saw the new Hyundai Tuscon on the road. My friend thought it was a new Bentley or an expensive German SUV. But was shocked an amaze when he saw the Hyundai emblem on the front grille of that Tuscon. He was at awe with their daytime led lights..He said it looks like angel wings...When I decide to upgrade my current vehicle(once the chip shortage and price mark-up fiasco is over), the new Tuscon or this new Kia Sportage will be my top choices. I get best in class interior space, best safety features and way more tech, and the best warranty in the market.. It's a win-win for me!
@hon solo If Honda finally offers a panoramic roof option in the new upcoming CRV, then maybe...But I already know the fully loaded spec CRV will cost more than a fully loaded Sportage or Tuscon...And probably the styling of it will be on a tad bit on a boring side since Honda played it safe with the styling of the new Civic..I really like how the Sportage and Tuscon offers more for the money... I used to be biased on just Toyota and Honda brands... But after doing my research, the reliability on Kia and Hyundai has really improved since the brand hired German Engineers and designers Peter Schryer and Albert Biermann. And Hyundai and Kia offers the best warranty in any mainstream car brands.. It's a shame people still carries that 80s and 90s stigma about Korean cars. I get what you're saying about reliability..However, as a current Hyundai owner. I'm very confident on the Korean brands reliability. I have a friend who drives a Toyota. And he is so jealous of the features that my car currently has. And was blown away when he realize he paid more money than I did for less features.
I cannot wait to get mine! I've been eyeing this car since Kia announced it and I got the brochure of app their different trim levels. I've been eyeing the SX Prestige package with AWD and want that Dark Green Moss color because that color is my favorite color 😍 I'm so excited! As for engine power I have a Nissan who has less horsepower than this one so I'm not to picky on that. It had 189 horsepower and my Nissan is 149 horsepower with CVT so....got use it after awhile especially when I'm going up the expressway and trying to gas it.
The exterior is terrible an the interior...other than that cool climate/radio combo is just meh. I definitely perfect the overall look of the 2022 Tucson compared to this. Kia definitely tried a little too hard with this generation Sportage. 🤷🏾♂️
You mean way dull and boring. These Korean brand is now being innovative in styling and tech. I have to pay more for a spec out Honda or Toyota with all the features I want. 😴 😒
@@jraheemjefcoat429 opinion on styling is subjective. I will agree that Hyundai and Kia are a better bargain for all you get for the car. But they will never hold value like other brands. I think the Kia Telluride is beautiful, I'm just not digging this crazy weird design of Kia small suv or Hyundai.
@@cjd959 Never say never...The way these cars is on the demand and the impact of the cheap shortages, might able to obtain it's value after all. People didn't think Hyundai and Kia will be where they are today. They went from least desirable brand to becoming popular...It's like showing up to a class 20 year class reunion from being an unnoticed geek in high school. To now being a successful hot babe or stud that's getting all the looks and attention.
I love the look of the dashboard but I think it's overcomplicating things (giving multiple functions to the same buttons). It feels like it would be distracting while driving (say you wanna increase the volume, you have to switch off the air function first?)
The old Nissan Juke had a similar dual interface mode but it was on physical buttons that switched functionality. Kia's execution looks very clever as well and adds functionality w/o complexity.
I can’t get passed how hideously ugly that front end is. That thing got beaten hard with an ugly stick. Makes the Lexus grille and Nissan Juke look beautiful by comparison.
I actually like hydrid than plug-in because there no need for cord, no need to wait for charging! I have no idea why they would build a plugin for? That is just a waste of money and waste feature.
The 2022 Kia Sportage in America is not this generation. The way it works is the Korean roll out there cars first well, because it's Korea. Then North American market roll out the new models 6 months later. Although it's 2021, we only have a month left this calendar year. So this will be new for the 2022 year as a 2023 model.
They did not skip 2022. In South Korea, the new Sportage launched as a 2022 model while here in the US, 2022 was the last model year of the previous generation.
Nice brief review guys!!! Looking forward to see the full review on this one 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks!

I have a 2017 Kia Sportage that I bought in the 1st round April 2016. I can’t wait to see this one in person. I’m truly interested.

The interior is super nice but I personally prefer a more conservative exterior design like the Tiguan, just don’t love the front end the back is nice

Same. Waiting for pre-orders so I can put money down on my Hybrid Prestige (when they are released mid-2023) in white with AWD. Can't wait.

Love the new Kia Sportage and it's awesome 😍🔥
Both are very nice . I like the new look . Great video . Thanks guys

Did you get one? How do you like it? Thinking about the same one but hybrid in blue.
Awesome 1st In Depth Review For The All New Redesigned 2023 Kia Sportage SUV.
Thanks for joining Kia in Motown, guys! Dinner was awesome and I’m glad you got some time in the K5 GT-Line.
Thanks for having us!

This looks great! Is this the EX model?
Interior looks nice! Exterior ugh! 🤦🏻♂️ not great. New Hondas and Toyotas looking way better and cleaner.

Kia should place alllll thier new kia sportages with 19" tires and change the rear above
license plate with led daylight💡
I cried when I saw the excess of piano black 😭
My sentiments exactly! That killed my interest, hate that!
I love the look of the dashboard but I think it's overcomplicating things (giving multiple functions to the same buttons). It feels like it would be distracting while driving (say you wanna increase the volume, you have to switch off the air function first?)
It looks amazing!😸
Fantastic, thanks for the coverage 🌹
I love the 2023 Kia Sportage it’s very nice! When does it come out?
In the US it will be out the first quarter of 2022, but the hybrid will be released at a later date
@@Norsean ok
Yess it looks awesome!!
The old Nissan Juke had a similar dual interface mode but it was on physical buttons that switched functionality. Kia's execution looks very clever as well and adds functionality w/o complexity.
Yeah, I really like it. Becomes very intuitive after using it a little
Great review of the Sportage. Will the SX also have the naturally aspirated engine or will a turbo model be available?👍💖🔥
As of right now, Kia is only talking about the naturally aspirated engine and it comes on all trims
It finally doesn't look ugly!
Nice that is has an equal amount of cargo space as the CR-V. I’m sure with the seats down it has the same.
I would build the tail light line all the ways in the middle be a bad ass
Will you guys be at the LA Auto show? And more specifically will you be reporting on the Subaru Solterra
We will actually be at another event during the show so we won't be able to make it
so now its 2023, before everyone used to say its a 2022
It’s so ugly wtf
This is very cool looking 😎
Competing with Rav4. But rav is everywhere and common 🙄 😒
This is futuristic bold and beautiful 😍 I want one!!!
Is the 12.3 inch displays standard ?
No, it'll be on the higher end products
I can’t get passed how hideously ugly that front end is. That thing got beaten hard with an ugly stick. Makes the Lexus grille and Nissan Juke look beautiful by comparison.
I actually like hydrid than plug-in because there no need for cord, no need to wait for charging! I have no idea why they would build a plugin for? That is just a waste of money and waste feature.
one word: UNDERPOWERED
Second since everyone's first
Yay, Finally the new Sportage reviewed by you guys😁
We finally got it on the channel 😂
Aren't we still in 2021.
No 3rd row?
It's a shame they cheaped out and didn't put LED turn signals in the front to match the rear. Also, y'all are looking dapper.
When, and if, they come up with the hybrid model, this should be a winner.
Style, MPG, warranty.
Forgot to mention that hybrid pulls ~220hp and is estimated to get 39mpg
Ugh, another turn signal with bulb in 2021🤮
An all new car, why are they still using incandescent light bulbs?
Avoir un Version en Français ,merci
2023...Huh? We haven't even reached 2022 yet!?
Great review on the new sportage.
Thanks!
Very handsome. The rear fascia reminds me of the new Kia EV6
Blessed to purchase the 2023 Royal Blue EX FWD 2 days ago....I love it
Congrats on your new Sportage!
I'm thinking it is the shortest video of this channel
Very disappointing. No demonstration with the coupons 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
Which trim has front led turn signals??
Looking forward to the hybrid version of this car!
Does the top trim come with 4 way lumbar support?
Thats what the sorento should have been.
Hmm the Korean version has the interior ambient lighting, looks like they omitted it again like they did in Sorento
and the removed the rotary shifter
this is 2022 model
2023
Can the charging station serving as storage space or only for charging due to the heat
It can be general storage because the charger won't charge unless there's a phone on it
@@CarConfections thank you
Cool looking, good video guys! :D
yes yes yes
It says 2023, Are you sure this isn’t 2022 Sportage?
In Korea its named 2022. In the USA its the 2023 since it will be released later next year.
The 2022 Kia Sportage in America is not this generation. The way it works is the Korean roll out there cars first well, because it's Korea.

too bad about the exterior, bc the interior is insane
Front end design stolen right off Mitsubishi...and that is not a compliment.
I love the look of this new Sportage! I was going to wait for it to come out, but purchased a 22 Tucson instead.
no one asked + ratio
@@lieutenantcandlewax no one cares.
Should trade it in next year or so
@@Kered-9 mad?
@@lieutenantcandlewax this ain’t tiktok
2022 leap year??
