Hello, good review. I am shocked to see spare tire and heated outside mirrors on LX. Did you add both these as optional or they came with the car? I wish to get them both on 2025 Sportage Hybrid LX FWD. Thanks.
One of the nicest features of the back seat on the 2024 Sportage and I assume on the 2025 as well are the reclining back seats which you didn’t show because you were acting as your own cameraman. I wish TH-cam presenters would take the time and trouble to find someone to act as their camera person. It makes for a much better, more professional video and presents the product more completely.
Gravity grey is rich color but formerly no extra cost. Comfortable, spacious, solid eith care should be long life vehicle. In my opinion an excellent value. Great review!!
@@FordEnthusiast413 awd some would deem necessary for plowing, but it is really only effective in low traction conditions during acceleration. Does not enhance steering, braking, lateral movement, etc. What is effective is having a spare set of steel wheels mounted with top quality winter tires like Michelin X-Ice, various Nokian (Finnish) offerings, etc. Many law enforcement agencies favor the Nokian offerings and some might sare their experiences. AWD adds weight, complication and penalizes fuel milesge as as a result. It does increase dealer profit margins! I have come to regard AW
Except the price, is there an advantage to go with FWD?
I might get one myself in three years from now

What is difference between 2024 vs 2025 ?
$30,000 is a great price. Here in Australia they are $60,000
I am wondering if the KIA Sportage is better than Nissan Rouge 2025?
The Rogue has a 3 cyl engine that is very rattly and not smooth at all.

Not eough ambient lighting in any sportage usa or uk
I have uk my25 uk model shorter by 6" but far more tech
By more tech, do you mean adaptive cruise control? The presentation here did not touch on that 😊
My choice along with the Tucson cuv and Santa Cruz pickuplet.
Stick with the base 2.5 L engine and forego the
AWD and turbo.

@louispaxton8336 Thanks Louis!
Why not get AWD?
