In my opinion the cabin design is much better here than in the Tucson. The external design is excellent too with properly positioned rear indicator lights - come on Hyundai, get your act together. I was really sure the Tucson was going to be my next vehicle, now I’m not so sure. The only part of the Tucson I prefer over the Sportage is the front lights. For everything else the Sportage wins for sure (in my opinion). Nice job Kia. Nice review Dan. As we have come to expect from you, your review is complete and comprehensive as well as being excellent quality. Stay safe and well Dan. Greetings from Cumbria in the U.K.
yes i have test drove the top gts sportage and do love it , i wanted to drice the tucson ultimate to compare as it can be found a little cheaper than the kia ? but will think i would prefer the kia. was maybe going to buy in a couple of months as ordered an vw id3 about a year ago since then its gone up somewhat and cound sell brand new and make a tidy profit to buy the kia ...
Hello, when you activate the adaptive cruise control, can you use your current speed or do you need to choice everytime manually the speed? Can you see the distance between the Kia and the car before you, on the display/dashboard? I’m driving a ds7 and you can always see on the display what’s the car is doing. It’s showing the distance and also an image with green lines if the car is able to detect the lines on the road…
until what speed does the electromotor operate? I mean, does it somehow support the petrol engine outside of city, for example at 90 km/h? or 130 on highways?
Hello, since you have driven both cars - which is better - Hyundai or Kia? I am wondering which one to order - Kia is more expensive in UK, probably because it is newer but Hyundai is a bit more prestigious. What do you think. Talking for the same trim levels
@@SDADanCars Thanks. Since I have better offers for Kia GT Line and probably better delivery time, I will go with that.... Except somebody give me a good offer for Mazda CX-30 GT Sport :-). I think this should be the drivers mid SUV. And i love driving, mainy alone! Great channel, BTW :-). Very well done.
How quickly you filmed and posted the video of the Kia Sportage) Thank you! After driving the Sportage, are you still of the opinion that the Peugeot 308 is more interesting and preferable? Considering the Peugeot 308 has a rear beam and the Sportage has a McPherson and all wheel drive. How tangible is the difference in steering and ride? Both cars are attractive in their own way, but the Sportage is insanely stressed by the glossy coating, which must be coated with a film. It's a pity that Kia doesn't offer an alternative to glossy. ☹Peugeot in turn uses high-quality, beautiful and practical materials, which is very nice! 🙂🥰
Amazing review! Totally agree..I like the exterior of the Hyundai Tucson but I think the Interior of the Kia is one of the best in this class. I'm looking to trade in my Mazda CX-5 and looking at the Tucson or Kia Sportage.. Keep up the amazing work!!
Can you use Adaptive cruise control and Lane keeping assist in traffic jams? Like they do it in a new Honda CR-V. It allows your car to drive slowly in traffic without you pressing the gas pedal and actively steering.
Very beautiful review bro 👌, actually i'm very confused between buying the sportage , the tucson (both hybrid ) or the skoda octavia e-tsi 1.5 mild hybrid I'm a person who really care about a very silent cabine in the road so what you recommend for me ?
Hey. Great review. Strange question, do you find the seats to be shallow under the legs? I'm 6'4" and always struggle with lack of under leg support for long journeys. Thanks
@@31hallite hey thanks the response. Good to hear that. I'm a bit weird with car seats, I've got long legs and I almost need seats to come up to back of my knees to feel comfortable. Very hard to find seats that work for me (that I can afford anyway). 👍
Hi, thanks for the review. You said you have a Tesla Model 3. I’m considering to switch my Model 3 RWD with an hybrid car for convenient reason when traveling in areas with poor charging network. In terms of handling, not performance, is there a huge gap between the 2 cars or not so much. I would target an AWD version of the Kia like in you test.
Florin In terms of comfort Sportage is better 👍 it is a good idea actually. Also I feel like quality is better in Kia then Model 3. Go for full hybrid not plug in
Hello! All the best wishes from Romania! Me and My wife we want to buy Tucson 2022 or Sportage 2022! Is there any difference between them in terms of quality?(I mean which one need sooner fixings) Which one is more comfortable? Which one is more stable in hard curves?Thank you so much!
Both have similar quality materials and in terms of driving are also very similar because they shard same systems and engines. It is just a matter of design and taste 🙂👍
Thank you so much for the informative video. I thought Hyundai Tucson is my choice but when I went to Emil-Frey Basel to test drive the Kia Sportage as a suggestion of my boyfriend, I have changed my mind. Kia Sportage GT Line is now my choice of car and viewing your reviews made me like Sportage more. Thank you much Dan for your reviews. Merci vielmals.
Based on this Video I ordered a Sportage Hybrid GT-Line today. I was thinking of getting the Qashqai Epower instead, but the interiour and exteriour of the Sportage convinced me. Now I need to wait aprox. 12 month until delivery :(
Did you notice any big difference between the chairs on the gt vs platinum ( the below trim ) ? Im interested in comfort over long roads. How about the chassis/driving train , or what are the real differences ? Ive found the sportage a bit easier/lighter on the steering compared to rav4. Not sure in spott mode/or gt. Rav4 feels very controllable and accurate and it gave more feedback from the wheel. The sportage feels ok and better than tucson but rav4 steering wheel turned harder and provided better feeling for me. Not sure vs the sportmode or gt though. Also visibility was better in rav4 and i didnt like thay you couldnt keep the left elbow v well on the window supprt. The electronics though were spot on. Lane assist, cruise ctrl, lcds , everything felt pc like, and 2022. And it has “matrix” leds( they call them differently though- IP)
Mihai you are totally right about the driving feeling...on sport mode will be different but not very much... better you test drive both and see which you like more
Hello friend, it's a pleasure to see your review's .... we've already talked about the Honda HR V, ... you've already done the Kia Sportage test.... in your opinion if you had two cars a Honda HR V or a Kia Sportage Full Hybrid ...which one would you choose? big hug
@@SDADanCars tomorrow the 3rd is the presentation of the Honda HR V in Lisbon I will have the first contact with the "animal" live.... I don't need "horses" I need comfort, safety, economy and space as well and of course contribute to a better world, something Putin should do the same thank you Dan, big huge, peace P.S. Dan....I would be happy if the Dacia Duster was a hybrid like the Honda HR V 😁👍🇵🇹
yeah, just based on that door closing sound, it's still a lower brand, yes it has way more features than most luxury brands, but the details and driving experience will never be the same as a luxury brand. But korean definietly leading the market for the lower brand
Ummm not convinced that real mirror looks reliable and you can gauge better. the camera is ok but I would rely on the external glass. No flickering displays Hooray!
The front of that sportage is UGLY! I wish I can get a Tucson N line with the inside of the Sportage. That would be the perfect combination if you asked me 🤷🏻♂️… Aside from that, great video as always Dan! 👍🏼
funny how every review they always show the top most expensive model , and when you get down kia with your money you go , o is that all i get ? the gt line does not even have heated seats , all those buttons in the center have blanking caps on and looks funny ? only the top model has electric tail gate ?

Yes Trev you are right 👍 they learn from mistakes 🙂 Thank you my friend for taking time to write
yes i have test drove the top gts sportage and do love it ,
i wanted to drice the tucson ultimate to compare
as it can be found a little cheaper than the kia ?
but will think i would prefer the kia.
was maybe going to buy in a couple of months as
ordered an vw id3 about a year ago since then its gone up somewhat and cound sell brand new and make a tidy profit to buy the kia ...
Hi. Which do you like better, this or the Tucson?
Sorin it is hard to say. Both are almost identical. Only the design is different. I dont know for me what I will get ...probably the best price 🙂
@@SDADanCars KIA got matrix headlights Tucson haven't. Few small differences.
Hi, do you think electronic suspensions are adding more comfort? Thanks
I think yes 👍
Does it have double-glazed windows on the front doors and the rear?
Hello, when you activate the adaptive cruise control, can you use your current speed or do you need to choice everytime manually the speed?

Yes Kristof you can choose the distance between your car and the car in front 👍Also you can set your curent speed and also choose what speed you want
peugeot 3008 hybrid or Kia sportage hybrid?
( thanx for review)
Sportage because of better price I guess 👍🙂
Bonjour mon ami, quel est le modèle de pneus Bridgeston qui est sur la voiture ? Merci par avance.
until what speed does the electromotor operate? I mean, does it somehow support the petrol engine outside of city, for example at 90 km/h? or 130 on highways?
Yes it will 👍

Which do you consider to be the best choice, Sportage GT Line or Tucson?

Hm Renault Austral or Sportage?
Ce consum ai scos pe test driveul asta? Nu reușesc sa văd pana in bord :) merci!
Cred ca a fost in jur de 7l daca imi aduc aminte bine

Which one will you choose between this sportage and Tucson?
Hard to say 🙂

Daniel is hard to say....I think is better to test it 👍
@@SDADanCars cool. Thanks for getting back to me.
I am 6 5 and there is plenty of room really comfy on the legs

Thank you also very much for feedback 👍🙏😊iam happy it was helpful
Great reviews. Very informative and meticulous.Thanks very much. 👍🏻😀
Thank you as well for feedback 👍🙂🙏
I love the way the rear of this car is designed.
Yes 👍
Do you think a mercedes GLC driving experience is better than the Kia Sportage?
Yes 👍
as you said it’s incredibly difficult to justify paying the premiums with mercedes, bmw or audi. however porsche is at another level.
Agree Martin 👍
*These Kias must be good cars considering the insane warranty that comes with these cars* 😱
Yes they are 👍
Wish the US got this version....I wanted those seats along with side folding mirrors! Guess we got jipped 🥹
bien belle cette KIA Merci Dan

What do you think about Totota Rav4, compared with this Kia sportage. I'm impresed with interior of Kia but, I don't like the front. It's ugly!
I like more Sportage 🙂

Yes 👍 Thanks for feedback 🙂
tastes are just different...
Does the infotainment support wireless android auto?
Not wireless. Only 8” has wireless and 4” doesn’t have anything at all
No wireless 😪
again you need a short angled cable
Mi hbb.
Nb
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
👍🙏🤗🙂
Shit, Imna buy this babe now!🙂
funny how every review they always show the top most expensive model ,
and when you get down kia with your money you go , o is that all i get ?
the gt line does not even have heated seats , all those buttons in the center
have blanking caps on and looks funny ?
only the top model has electric tail gate ?
Thanks for feedback 👍 I always try to finde the basic version. They first model they appear are top 🙂
Looks like there interior design is inspired by BMW 😂🤣
Yes right 🙂
I give this Sportage a 49/100.
Cool 👍
It’s only missing the head up display 💔
Right Sami 👍
Times stamps
👍👍
55k euros? Are you serious? XD
🙂
In switzerland.. Check your local prices. It stars at 28k where im from
55 in germany too (highest equip..)
Do you have Chinese cars in your country the likes of ( GWM)
I dont think so....I will have to check 👍
