If you press and hold the HVAC button that switches the screens, it'll let you set one or the other as a default so, say you set heating controls as default, if you go to the other menu and pull your hand away, it should go back to HVAC settings on its own.

You did not cover the heated wind shield that is provided by the Sportage climate controls. I also like the bigger infotainment screen and the Sportage has a SPARE TIRE which the Tucson does not provide. I l like the Tucson but am favoring the total package the Sportage Hybrid brings.

The large Tucson control screen is modified on the 2025 model. But they need to make changes to the touch sensitive Locking controls on front door handles---they can be very hard to use in the rain. Kia uses easy to locate lock buttons. Both models can automatically turn on the air conditioning compressor if high humidity is detected. But the Tucson has a Diffuse setting that uses special vents & heat/defroster vents to cool or heat without blowing air on your face---very comfortable.

Leave it at Climate Control and use Auto. Whatever temp you set it will keep it at that temp. Then use Steering wheel to control media. At your thumb! Go ahead and try it. It is so easy. I think how they did that screen is very smart. With just one click you can switch back and forth if necessary. But I think most users will use it the way I described. I would.

Yup, I looked at the non-hybrid and tested that when it came out, then tested the hybrid - was waiting for the PHEV version but the dealer markup makes it $50k. Plus you can't custom order a vehicle and won't do dealer to dealer trades, so whatever they have are your choices. Given that dealers are getting single digit cars a week, the chances of getting a car with exactly what you want are slim to none. It was a no for me, I bought a different car instead.
@ckm-mkc 2 жыл бұрын
@@TheStraightPipes Questionable if that would make any difference, I talked to all the dealers with 100 miles of my house and they ALL had the same line, inventory restrictions and markups. They have zero incentive to lower prices for anyone, most of the dealer inventory was sold out 2-3 weeks before the cars even arrived. Note this is not a BS line, a dealer I know pretty well showed me Kia's inventory control system and 70% of the cars were already sold....

I'll just use the steering wheel controls for the volume. And use the screen for Android auto . There is a mode button to switch between streaming to.AM/FM and XM. On the steering wheel..

Sounds like it’s under damped. Damping controls the springs, so over damped would too strongly stop the spring from compressing or rebounding and be jarring rather than floaty

Funfact: in Czech Republic they also say Sportage as you Canadians. In Slovak Republic (used to be Czechoslovakia) we say it like Americans. And we have pretty similar languages tho.

I don't much care for the heat/volume double function 'button' either. I haven't like the DIAL shifter in any car or truck since they started coming out with these. I like a handle either on the floor or in the tree as they say....maybe I'm just too old school. The design on the outside I like. I have always leaned more Kia than Hyundai in styling. Quality thought, both have seriously come such a long way since their inception! I remember those old cars!

Hyundai has more bling. But I don't like the boomerang front-end at all. Thing is, quirky styles go out of style real quick. Anyway, Kia is typically the more conservative of the two.

I’d be willing to recommend this to others if the dealer network here in Texas wasn’t so corrupt. They’ve been charging huge markups on Tellurides ($5k initially, $15k in early 2021) since late 2019, and have put huge markups on the Seltos and Sorento since those models launched. It’s even worse now.

@@raceboy1971 not really. You don't see best buy adding upcharges to iphones around the launch of the new models. They do it because there are only a few Kia dealer groups in Texas, so consumers have ultra limited options here. For example: one company owns all of the Kia dealers in Austin and most in Dallas. That means they can fix the price.

@@jon368100 You literally just described market based pricing! LOL Phone's are sold at a loss to sell the service so not analogous in any way. Why should the dealer be forced to take less money when someone else is willing to pay more? Makes zero sense and will only cause further shortages and longer waits. Econ 101 again.

@@raceboy1971 You're absolutely wrong. It's Corrupt 101. You should be able to spec out the vehicle you want at cost from their website. There is no reason for them to charge a mark up price other than pure greed. They were priced by the manufacturer to already make money. 🤦♂️🤷♂️

@@TheStraightPipes I owned the 2023 Sportage for a month now and I found that switching audio sources via the steering wheel "MODE" button will also change the screen. E.g I switch the audio source to Radio and my screen will automatically exit Carplay and goes to the Radio screen. If I switch audio back to Carplay, then the screen automatically switches back to Carplay. Also my screen automatically switches to Carplay when I plug my phone in. I have not needed to press the shortcut to Carplay in quite some time. Also I think a lot of people nowadays just live in Carplay/Android Auto and the Radio/Nav buttons are useless to them. If they use Radio/SiriusXM then I can see the buttons being inconvenient.
