I recently got a 24 Sportage EX. I'm pretty happy with it. I chose it for its simplicity (AKA.. less stuff to break). I didn't want a Turbo, power liftgate, sunroof, etc. I really do wish i had memory seats though. So far, it runs great... however, it only has less than 1000 miles on it. It freaked me out watching your video and seeing people driving on the 'wrong side' of the road and the steering wheel on the 'wrong side' of the car.

I don't have experiences with other KIA diesel engines but the 1.6 Turbo diesel in my Ceed has gone 270 000km with only a change of a egr tube. It was a 300 US $ repair. Otherwise it's just regular maintenance of filters, oil and brakes. Easy and cheap. Everything holds up fine except the painting of the car that has come of at a coupel of spots like on top of the front window and a few places around the front spoiler lights.

Thanks for the awesome review, I traded in my Cerato GT on a MY24 Sportage GT-Line Diesel, had it for 3 weeks so far and absolutely love it, so much better to drive than the Cerato GT. I also found the bass to be lacking but turned it up to 10 and I think it's got more than enough Bass now, Can't complain tbh sounds way better than the JBL.

@barryrigby15688 ай бұрын
I have had the HEV trim 3 since March 2023. After 3 months the passenger front seat had faded in one area so I took it back to Kia. They said this is fair wear and will not do anything about it. So Be aware. It may have a 7 year warranty but not on the seats as they last less than 3 months.

Have PD2 I30 SR with the 1.6t 7sp dct. Bought it new, Full Hyundai service history & meticulously maintained. It’s only got 66k & now on it’s second engine & transmission, As well as a big list of everything else that's gone wrong with it. Once it reached the near 5 year mark it just went downhill. Hyundai have been very good with replacing anything that's gone wrong, But I'm still disappointed. Its now out of warranty & I'm seriously considering trading it. Just problem after problem.

In Europe taxes are much higher, a GT Line petrol Hybrid will set you back 50k euros and thats 2wd still, not awd. Plugin hybrid model is anothsr 5k on top of that if you want to play with a power cord. Short wheel base version over here, but rest is the same, drove the long wheelbase on holiday, really no difference. Agree on wireless Android and Apple, that should have been implemented from the start. Consumption is around 7 ltr/100 km so not great for a hybrid, its heavy, but not underpowered. We get different powertrains, they are sufficient enough over here. Annoying things are all the beeps and the sound system (not premium in my opinion), rest is just great, love fhe car so far.

The mild and full hybrids have been available in Europe and Korea for quite some time. The mild hybrid has the 7-speed DCT, and the full hybrids (both regular and plug-in) have 6-speed automatics. 8-speed only seems available with the 186 horsepower diesel, with Europe only having the 136 hp diesel with the same 7-speed DCT as the mild hybrid petrol version.

As you say that it's tough to hit the buttons on the control screens, I think that's also the due to the fact that you guys have to use your left hand to do al that stuff as more and more functions get controlled by touchscreen in the center console. The rest of the world that drives on the right (right) side of the road does not have the same issue. I suppose that in your case someone who is lefthanded will have much less problems. Have you driven any Tesla? That must be even harder on righthand steering cars cause al of the functions have to be controlled with your left hand.

In 2016 I bought a brand new Kia Sportage diesel. I loved it and owned it for 7 years without a problem. This year (2023) I bought another brand new Sportage. Big disappointment! The new 8 speed automatic is very bad. It ums and aahs and fumbles around. It is a few inches longer. Great. But the turning circle has gone from very good to very very bad. There probably are trucks and buses with smaller turning circles. Even pulling into carparks at shopping centres is problematic. After four months of ownership, I sold it to a dealer and I have bought a VW Tiguan R. I know it is much more expensive than the Sportage, but it is way, way better!
@cliffwilkins91787 ай бұрын
Kia Sportage 2023 turning circle 10.92M kerb to kerb. VW Tiguan R turning circle 11.97m kerb to kerb. There is nothing wrong with the gearbox, we've found it to be smooth, predictable and an absolute pleasure to use. I think you're an archetypal Volkswanker.
