Had mine for 3 weeks and could not be happier. Similar to the Q5, but dare I say better tech and more comfortable. Better MPG too, but I do have the HEV. I would recommend this car to anyone interested in an SUV.

@darea.8959 Год назад

Hello, I was made to understand it doesn't come with spare wheels, but tyre mobility/inflation kit is provided; please how does that work? Just a bit concerned from having previous flat tyre issues but not on a nice car like this

@leel9186 Год назад

@@darea.8959 So no spare wheel. We did get a nail in one of our tyres, which the dashboard actually detected and 'told' us. It gave me a good 30 miles to find a repair shop. Not sure how that works but it was a cool feature. Essentially the car measures the PSI of the tyres in real-time and lets you know when it drops. You can pay for an additional wheel of course, and there is space to put it under the false floor of the boot.

@darea.8959 Год назад

@Lee L Thanks a lot, yet to get the car but not sure where to put the spare wheel if I get one, there seems to be some partitioning board under the floorboard and a battery a little further so not quite sure where it'd fit

@leel9186 Год назад

@@darea.8959 I just look for you, and yeah, there doesn't seem to be enough space. I would say not to worry to much because the wheels seem to be designed in such a way that unless you get an absolute blowout you will be fine. It is a great car, truly, and drives better than my old Q5 - the technology is next level.

Great review Dan. I've had the Kia Sportage HEV 4 for a week now and I'm impressed with the comfort, tech and handling. I previously had a Mercedes A200 (2019) but the Kia handles a lot better and is a faster car. Considering this car weighs in at 1.7 tonnes, that's quite impressive. I should also mention the quietness around town and also on motorways. Kia have built quite a good car

@ItsDanLatham 2 года назад

Thanks Chris. I was just as impressed with it!

@CraigWinstanley1 2 года назад

Thanks. I have had the Aus. version (GT diesel) since May 2022 - it is as close to the perfect vehicle that can be found. Got rid of my money-pit BMW X6 for the new Sportage, and I am very happy.

An excellent review (new subscriber). Concise, honest and straight to the point. On the back of listening to several independent reviews (including your very own straightforward and concise review of the GT Line S model), I ordered the GT Line Hybrid. It's all about the delivery time now, which is a few months away, but as they say, good things come to those who wait!

@shawnweekes6518 2 года назад

@@ItsDanLatham No problem at all, hence the reason I subscribed to your channel 🙂. A quick question, since you tested it for a long period, how is the MPG on these petrol hybrids? Saving on fuel costs is one of the factors for me. I think the GT Line 1.6 Petrol HEV is enough for me, even though the S model is really nice.

@shawnweekes6518 2 года назад

@@ItsDanLatham Wow that's really good. Currently, I have a 2019 1.6L Sportage and only getting 41.5 mpg. Looking forward to the new one as I test driven the S recently and was blown away by the smoothness and less noise from the outside whilst driving compared with the mk4 version. Many thanks for making my decision even more simple.

@BobH809 2 месяца назад

Looked at the Sportage and Hyundai Tucson videos you have done. I am interested in both but trying to decide which is better. Your video has helped. I think I'm going to go for the Kia (used), although I prefer the look of the Hyundai Tucson. The interior is where you spend time and that is slightly better to use than the Tucson. Just subscribed too. Thanks for the videos, very helpful.

@ItsDanLatham 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the feedback, my thoughts on it are pretty much the same as yours. The Tucson has just been updated with a new interior, and I’ll have a video coming on that soon - but going for used probably makes the most sense financially. Hope you enjoy your new car!

@theessexdon 2 года назад

New subscriber - Awesome vid twinned with in depth commentary have to say I'm really tempted with this. This will be a potential new company car renewal but the EV6 is another band up but, it's still great for me in regards to BIK. The model is the hybrid 4x4 gt line S , all the toys....or all the gear and no go go.... hmmmm Have you done a polestar 2? Merc CLA 250e?

@ItsDanLatham 2 года назад

Hi Mark thanks for watching. I’m hoping to get hold of an EV6 soon but this car would be enough to tempt me away from all the German rivals for a daily driver. I’ve never driven a polestar but I have driven a CLA. The merc is a nice thing but I found it to have some electric gremlins when it came to the infotainment etc. Sure, you get a nicer badge and some fancy ambient lighting, but I do think the Kia represents better value for money…. As for pace, this hybrid is surprisingly spritely off the line, its up top where it struggles. But honestly I’d have no hesitation in recommending it. I’m just editing my review of the Cupra Ateca (similar size to this and about £7k more) which is a rapid car but the quality and tech is nowhere near that of the Kia!

Question for KIA?: Why are Sportages designed so that the rear lights do NOT come on even when it is dusk / very dull / bad light / storm + rain weather or even almost dark? Every car has it's lights on (front and rear) in these conditions but Sportages NEVER do. It is such as bad design fault
