The obvious alternative would be the EX or EX premium trim, which gets you the same basic platform, minus some of the gadgets and features - only one 12" screen instead of two, no blind spot camera or 360 around view, no cooled seats, and some other stuff. It's quite a bit cheaper.

@iggibars Год назад

I want to like this, and I do like it a lot as a car, but I don't believe Hyundai priced it right. The hybrid is definitely the one to go with. However, having to go up to the upper spec trims in order to get some of the safety features that we're seeing as standard on common cars is a deal breaker for me. You have to really like the Sportage to buy one at the upper spec level...there's just too many other good car at that price point.

@GTGarageTalk Год назад

I guess you are speaking about Highway Driving Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist-Parallel Exit, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist, and the Blind-Spot View Monitor, because most of the true safety tech in the Sportage Hybrid is standard at the $27,290 starting MSRP.

@iggibars Год назад

@@GTGarageTalk I don't know what you mean by "true safety tech" considering Kia themselves lists all those under their Safety category. Also, almost all those rear detection systems(blind spot, rear traffic avoidance, exit assist, highway assist, etc) are actually run off one detection system that manipulates data for different safety aspects. So it's not like you're optioning different safety systems when they are all run/powered by one module. Kind of like how you can make a backup camera switch angles, but then advertise the car for having different backup camera options. It's all one system. One thing I forgot to mention before, the Kia Sportage DOES NOT have a true adaptive cruise control, no matter the trim level. The Navigation-based cruise control only works on very specific federal and state highways. You can't use it on normal connecting freeways or even streets like you can on a normal adaptive cruise system similar to what you see on their competitors. It's a VERY limited system that has a LOT of issues. Just google "kia navigation cruise control problems".

@kamalalleyne2197 Год назад
