I currently have a 2019 Kia Sorento LX that I have been pretty happy with for the last two years and figured for a few more until I saw this vehicle a few months ago. Haven't figure out how to afford the almost double payments yet, but I will. 😆This is the exact trim, color, and model that I want.

I’ve been watching videos on Sportages since like November and this is the first video that I’ve seen someone mention an issue with the AC. 😳 I just reserved one in MI (I had a hard time finding one and one that wasn’t insanely marked up 😩) but I live in TX, and now I’m kinda worried for the 110+ degree days we get in the summer. 👀 good thing it has remote start at least.

I'm getting my ex premium hybrid in a couple of weeks it's traveling across country by train to the dealership. Been waiting to since January and went on the Kia site last week and saw a dealership out of mo getting it and locked in the sale. They wanted 2500 over MSRP. I talked them down to 1k

I just picked up the exact one last month. Had to pick it up from KC from Seattle and we drove it back. It was a bug magnet. I am getting about 37 mpg so far. I try to keep it in hybrid battery /eco mode. I ended up blackening the kia logos. And I covered the shiny console and handles with a wood style center console and handle😊

Hi this maybe a dumb question as I know nothing about cars except filling them with fuel, water and oil when needed. I am due to pick up my Kia2025~the top one~prestige. I was wondering do you prefer the Kia logo blacked out and if so where did you buy the blackout stickers for it. Thanks.

For my wife and I, our default is the air conditioning and heating stuff on the haptic panel. Then, you can set the mode button on the steering wheel, for different media things that you select like radio, Bluetooth, USB And I like to make the little star button on the steering wheel an on off media button. So basically as the driver, I do all of my media through two buttons on the steering wheel. At least 90% of the time.
