Would you buy a Sportage versus the rest of the compact SUV field?

I have a 2017 sx turbo I love it handles very well and the power is good. Wish it was a little better on fuel but its worlds better than my Cherokee i had. Overall love the car alot

Bought one today, the SX motor is brilliantly done! I love it!

Memorial day is definitely time to get this. Solid review Micah!

I have a 05 Sportage EX with the 2.7 V6 engine, other than the same gas mileage as this new one ,I have been very happy with it !! It has excellent horse power, to say the least just wish it had better fuel economy !!!

The biggest ding to the Sportage remains the low fuel economy. If they could get the efficiency figures to class competitors, this would sell much better

just bought this car today and i LOVE him

I bought one. This same color. I LOVE it!

I test a sportage with 185 hp and drive in " sport" mode, he consume a lot, dont know exactly but much. Is that normal in this mode???

LOL Micah is so funny. Loved the little bezel montage haha so random yet funny.

Just bought the 2022 Kia Sportage LX it came with the black 18 inch wheels, appleplay is great. Got it due to an emergency my wife’s Jeep transmission went , 40k gone for nothing. My wife will be using it for a few months and we plain on giving to our daughter in the fall for college, they both love the veh. Most likely going back to Kia for the new Sorento in the fall or the Sportage upgrade to the turbo engine.

My company is giving me one of these as my work vehicle. Thanks for all the info!

I got one of these as a CPO and I absolutely love it so far. 10/10 car, good buy as a CPO too.

What trim level of the Sportage offers the hands free lift gate?

Hello, What is the real fuel consumption of a turbo gasoline engine and turbo diesel engine. Kind regards, Alexander

I’m 1:21seconds into this review, BEST REVIEW, LIKE E V E R !!! One cool 😎 dude.... can’t wait to see the rest.

I love my 2020 SX Turbo AWD. Can't wait for snow storms!!

The things dont like this kia sportage..is the turn cignal light.why?the put @the bottom.it will not seen @d back.ty.

I just bought a brown one, she’s so lovely

my mom just bought a 2018 kia sportage and she loves it already!

Love the Lawrence Welk Bezel Muzio music.........

I saw one of these this weekend at the local mall in the bronze color . Very good looking . Base engine with the 6 speed should be very reliable .

Actually really like the refresh...especially in that color. Just wish they’d make the interior upscale with an option for a digital gauge cluster and such

I bought the all NEW MY20 KIA Seltos, even in BASIC form for under *AU$26k* it comes with its many standard features like roof rails, Apple Car play /8" touch screen, rear parking sensors Forward collision stop Lane departure and keeping assist bold new styling with chrome features loads of space (huge boot) cabin quietness and drivability 7yrs warranty and "roadside assist.* and not least the fantastic economy (600km urban driving) I could have bought the slightly pricier model "Sports+) but I prefer the 16" wheels with higher profile tyres.

Just got a 2020 LX and its fantastic. Better then the Honda and Toyota after test driving both. Chevy Equinox was my second choice but was bigger and didn’t need the space. Liked the look of the Kia more.

I find that in the RH Drive version, the aircon dial has a sideways protrusion which irritates the side of my left knee. This irritiation is magnified over longer trips.

Howdy, great review as always!😸😸

Is it sparkling gray or steel gray?

Great review.

WOW!!! Those bezels are BEZELICIOUS!!!!!!

I just bought one and it is great. The funny thing is that when you usually buy a new car when you leave the showroom all you see is the same car you just bought. Not so with the Sportgage. It has been a week now and I still have not seen any on the road. Weird!!!

Why am I getting bill Nie the science guy vibes ? 😂 Love you bro

What about GPS tracking system

This guy is The Godfather of car reviews.

It would have been nice to tell the viewers which trim you were reviewing.

After buying leasing American vehicles,I switched to Foreign, Never thought I would own a foreign vehicle especially a Kia!! Really impressed I got the "S" Model!! Sharp looking!!

Nice entertaining review. The Sportage is good looking and seems at or near best in class in many ways except for weirdly bad fuel economy.

It's just missing the new Kia 8-speed AT. Thanks.

The key-proximity tailgate sounds great, but what it really does is make your car beep whenever you walk around the rear bumper. I turned it off a few days after getting my ‘17 Elantra.

Just got one yesterday, same color!

I'm gonna buy one!

I wish I knew about kia’s warranty last year. This is crazy affordable.

The elbow test is actually important to me when shopping for a new car - excellent that you give details on the support of armrests. Include more details on the actual driving comfort, from the view of the driver's seat.

I would buy this car just for the cool and quirky look. The 10 year warranty is incredible.

10 year warranty good enough for me...

Hell yeah Micah. You had me at the newly designed steering wheel. I really wish the kissing cousins from Korea Sportage and Tuscan somehow find a newly thrift miser engine or offer a Hybrid Assist. I think that’s what holds this funky looking SUV Back a bit. IF it had, a quieter ride and better MPG I really think it would up the ladder really fast to compete.

I love my 2011 Sportage.

Since my name is Tim I agree with the reaction for 5:07.

6 months with this car 2021 and it's been great, especially with sport mode on highways

Very tasty fuzzy-guitar tones👍

Slightly worse fuel economy for the reliability of a traditional automatic transmission over a CVT is a trade off I’ll make every time

Micah is the best youtube car reviewer!

What’s a destination charge? I’ve never paid it.

I'm strongly considering it, though it is a bit over my intended budget. Love the simplicity of controls, real gear shifter instead of UFO inspires knobs, buttons, joysticks, etc. Lots of bang for the buck. Back seats fold flat. Spare tire. Lots of safety goodies. 6-speed tried and true tranny. Warranty. Looks different than the typical SUV clones. Yes, I was also considering a Honda HR-V, but really... NO power seats or lumber adjustment, NO driver's side blind spot monitor, armrest is unusable, CVT droooooone, engine has to work hard, but I do love the cargo room and supposed reliability and resale value. Also looking at the Buick Encore (not the GX) as another reliable, cute, comfy, quiet, and proven SUV that is adorable. But the cargo room is a big drawback. The Encore GX seems to be having new model hiccups and leery about a 3 cyl. turbo longevity. Still shopping; the fun is in the test driving... the misery is in the battle for a decent price in this era of chip shortages and thus limited inventory. But now is also a great time to trade in... my old van has gone up thousands of $$ lately... so it may be GO time!

The forgotten Kia amidst all the Telluride hype.

Mah mayyn jamming up on Porcupine Tree 🙌🔥

Thumbs up for the Porcupine Tree on the audio system!

I've never been inspired to laugh while watching any car review... but the "They should have sent the poet" got me.

Small improvements to the looks makes a big difference. The old car was odd looking, I quite like this one.

Yes I would. I actually bought 2.

I only wish the belt line were lower. I am short and when I sat in one; feeling like a bathtub.

This bought one last weekend.

I enjoyed my 2015 Kia Sorrento, traded it for a 2017 vw passat....love and miss my kia...but no more kids to shuffle around, been thinking about the sportage or another small SUV.

Great old Firebird @ 6:27

Oh wow, I have to tell everyone in the office about this Macan refresh !!!

This thing is a cute little vehicle. Waiting for the Rav4 hybrid prime to come out. It’s going to do circles around this sportage of 300 hp with an estimated of 90mpg with it’s electric motor?? 😂

It’s really nice for a Kia

I like the Porcupine Tree song on the radio...

Why does the gas mileage suck ?

I want one just for the bezels.

I must know what that driver's seat pump does!!

Is the arm rest really that short?

I actually had to stop the video to catch a breath, man those bezels-whew. Now, I would appreciate a "it's worth the money" or not comment-and a suggestion of which model is the best bet. A pumping what now?

I genuinely don't know if you like this car or not Micah lol

A used Toyota Rav5, honda or a new Kia Sportage?

People in my country: “sportaaaarj” This guy: “spordidge”

We've had this model in Korea for almost two years already. In fact, the all new redesigned model is coming out in December of 2020. This Sportage is good, but getting a bit long in the tooth! It'd be a great used value though!

I don't care much for the front grill design. They should have made it look more like the Telluride with the "tiger nose". Or even better the Sedona minivan which has a gorgeous front grill.

Nice ride

I’m not a fan of the “pufferfish” front fascia... they should change it and give it a more serious face... just like the Chinese version of the Sportage (KX5).

Pretty. I wish that had hybrid model

I drove one once and it was so rough

In the market for one

My Sportage is crappy in the wind. Of course I'm in Chicago.

Sportage over the rest of the crowd, i hate cvts

This needs an exterior styling update

Looks good, but that's some 2011 MPG numbers.

I'm interested in pumping device...🤣🤣

Do they have heated steering wheels?

“Gee I sure hate crashing”- yeh.

Subaru forester 31highway 26city 28mpg combine and it's awd standard.lol

T W O W O R D S : Fuel Economy 👎

John Paul II was a great pope.

Need a prado review from kbb

I like it

Why do all other countries pronounce it as Spor-taj, even though it’s spelled with a “g”?

That TRANS AM tho at 6:28 👀

Bitchin' Trans Am at 6:23!

I expect more from kelly blue book I want information not cute silly stuff

Is the Hyundai Santa Fe bigger than this?
