I have a 2023 European Sportage with the same colour but with mild Hybrid 180 HP 7 speed DCT and I must say I like it very much. Thanks 😀

Very nice! I bet that's interesting. I don't think we get anything like that.

@@BrianMakse the European one is maybe to short and to expensive for North America. It´s 5.9 inch shorter, it has a little bit less legroom in the second row and the trunk is 100 Liter smaller. The suspension is very stiff and Sporty.

Was waiting for you to show the cargo area. That's pretty important to a lot of us.

Great review, thanks so much. I'm in the market to replace my Jeep Grand Cherokee and this review was super helpful!

Thank you for this review. KIA’s warranty is a plus for me. Suggestion: I wish I’d find a review that mentions cargo space for an adult sized wheelchair or even a baby stroller.

Fair question. I'm sure someone out there has done it. I don't have a wheelchair or a stroller hanging around.

Every manufacturer has there rear max cargo capacity specifications published. In the case of the Kia Sportage I beleive it is 73.0 Cu.Ft with the rear seats folded down

The biggest problem with Kia is that other drivers will harass you on the road just because you are driving a Kia.

@BrianMakse 6 ай бұрын

Who does that?

@rylans.5365 6 ай бұрын

That has never happened to me. Harassment and road rage may be geared towards a certain model of vehicle, but definitely not an entire brand

i find it very disconcerting that you drive along the highway a lot the time with both hands off the steering wheel gesticulating! To me, that's not very safe ...and this video is evidence of that!.

Please don’t apply your driving skills and associated anxieties to me. Like the meme says, you and me are not the same.

What is with all the EV garbage. When are they going to be buried with Trudeau and his government.

The market is already speaking. EV inventories are growing for all the reasons we know. You should see what the Canadian carmakers are saying today after being blindsided by that federal EV announcement yesterday. No one is happy.
