Is it worth buying knowing the refresh is coming?

[@johncartel8547]

No……

[@alw5996]

Just bought one of these and absolutely love it. I was hard against Kia's in the beginning because I always remember them being hunks of s***. But I think what they are doing now is fantastic you are getting a lot for your money. Great review btw!! Subbed :)

[@Creative7inc]

Honestly, for the price, I think Kia is making some pretty good cars. I had a Sorento for a couple of years and it was a very good ride. Great review btw!

[@patmtc477]

I don't like front. It's got a weird face.

[@derfskittlers6125]

I test drove one recently because I was curious about the new Sorento. It's actually a good little car. It's not super luxury but nice and comfortable yo drive. The best thing about it, for me, was the regular transmission. No cvt.

[@badassdahn654]

Still prefer this to the newer 2022/23 model

[@khachikhmayakyan2349]

Your reviews touch on things that other reviewers overlook, always find myself surprised by what you’re talking about

[@ACCELER8TV]

Appreciate that!

[@bostonblackie9503]

I have a Sportage and love it! You are in the 2021 model it is the most recent. 2022 are suppose to be released in April however they say it may be delayed a few months. You review should have included all models of the Sportage? Would be far more informative and enjoyable.

[@chula197474]

I just bought a 2022 EX last week...absolutely love it!!!

[@isaidwhatisaid.3139]

for some of us regular people an everyday driver that ticks all the boxes is exciting like really exciting lol thank you for the review from a regular everyday car driver like myself

[@karascott178]

Great content and very informative 👍 Love Hyundai/Kia products

[@ACCELER8TV]

Thanks Kara!

[@mr.speyside5240]

This vehicle is low key super sexy. It’s either a love it or hate it kind of thing!

[@ACCELER8TV]

Well said!

[@muchlovetoall7966]

Disnt talk about the sun roof windows...dose it open? Is their something to slide over it if u dont want to see out it? Dose it have backup cams? Or would that be an extra item package? Ty for the review

[@mr.speyside5240]

Panoramic sunroof and yes they both open!

Thanks man

Bought a Sportage GT-line in 2018. Such a great drive bought a Stinger GT for the wife in 2020. Now have both and happy a Larry. Only problem with the Stinger is getting my wife out of the driver's seat so I can get a drive.

[@itsbuzzup]

the new one is more expensive i think !!! so bying this version or waiting for the new one ?

[@BirTek-93]

I have Kia Rio 2021 and im in looove! But my 2nd baby must be a Sportage.

[@lukeperez5269]

I mean you did get a basic interior. I think the beige interior looks way better and brings more light in making it more alive.

[@kristivaughan3839]

Like your review. Hopping over to see the Seltos review.

[@ACCELER8TV]

Jump over and take a look!

[@InstinctiveFirearmReviews]

Mam this vehicle rocks. It's also going to be rock solid as it's been around for a while. It looks clean and nice inside. I love the inside and out and I do dig how it's like a porsche. Give me a loaded turbo model 👌

[@pamhoepker6696]

I’m actually leaning more towards the Seltos but I’m curious if the 21’s still have the telescoping steering wheel or will I have to get the 2020 model if I want that feature? I don’t want to be on top of the the steering wheel in order to reach the pedals.

[@dnegel9546]

im really confused as to why the sportage is actually cheaper or the same price as the seltos. in the used market...

[@Simon-im2zn]

I was at one point looking at a Mazda CX 5, Hyundai Tucson and a Qashqai. Tucson I can't quite understand why they did not have the passenger seat adjustment, the Qashqai as too many faults to mention but one in particular is the 1.2 Renault engine. So I am now looking towards this.

[@JosephGrajeda]

Funny review - with personality I dig the honesty

[@leonardocleaningllc1952]

What about the self driving function

[@Silentfeety]

I was at the shop and they offered me some kia Sportage black edition, any big difference?

[@confettihunterminus1]

I’m subbed! Great review here!

[@ACCELER8TV]

Thanks for the sub!

[@leonardocleaningllc1952]

I love my kia sportage. It's a great daily driver and has ample room. I'm 6ft 2in and the driver seat could back up more if needed.

[@b00_2]

Me too I love mine. Im tall too. I completly lower my seat so I dont hit the ceiling. I love everything. Is roomy but not a van or a Ford pickup to climb up in.

[@RigiLiquid945]

Nice review (liked and subbed)! Slight bias on my part because I have the older 2015 Sportage model, so this newer one fits the bill. Some of us might want a Stinger, but most or many of us just need to check the boxes and not pay too much. If I only had 1 car for my family, this could do pretty much anything I need it to do. Also, I actually find the cig lighter ports useful for things like pneumatic jack/air compressor for seasonal tire changes, older tech that just won't die, like dash cam or Sat-Nav. and USB adapters with 2 charging ports. Too bad the 2022-23 model won't have real HVAC buttons, but it looks cooler than this one. It might be worth getting this one before their gone.

[@soulheal6303]

while driving we expect to hear about driving dynamics, road noise and suspension setup, not about internal lights and cigarettes lighter!! Sorry for a dislike from me👎

[@yunicemathew604]

Do you have the newest version

[@ashleyyoung5361]

Does it have an option to have navigation

[@adevel23]

Love your videos... ❤️

[@jamiegowan135]

Great video! Love the Kia Products.

[@pacificbreeze5207]

i bought sportage mild hybrid last feb2020, after reach 5k km, fuel injection got problem...

[@denisaunga254]

Just bought mine but I later realized that it doesn't have a sunroof. I feel so bad about that.

[@alengreen589]

my Kia Ceed from 2018 has the same steering wheel, that is not the newest steering wheel.

[@i4u4]

Wow Energetic Review good job bro.

[@ilopancharov]

I had a SX and with the 2.0t it was pretty quick, not sure why they wouldn't give you that model.

[@ACCELER8TV]

Damn. Lucky!

[@johnmartin7158]

Hi Good guy ! Tnx for the awesome review. But many of you reviewers are expecting a SUV to handle like a Ferrari. And if your heart wasn’t in it, why bother doing this review of an SUV. We are average Joe’s basically who want a SUV. I don’t give a continental about 0 to 60 speeds or slight body rolls round corners. Tnx for reading my rant. Regards. Auckland. NZ.

[@alanimals]

Beautiful car, here in the UK the front design is slightly different check it out I think you'd like it. Great vid.

[@darrenh5745]

This is probably the ugliest design in their current lineups, but the all new design looks really nice, nicer than the new Tucson. Looking forward to it!

[@ACCELER8TV]

Yeah, saw pictures of the new design, looks pretty cool!

[@johnbooth9957]

Not a big Kia fan but I like it

[@gracekaheru]

Does it have park assist?

[@samsamson3623]

Yes

[@teresavictorsky1469]

It is a perfect car for every day life and specially for woman. I think word SPORT should not be there. I would call it more like KIA Easyage

[@gehanoates294]

The new one is coming this one is in its final year so why buy it. I love KIA. I will be buying the top of the range KIA sometime this year. UK Automatics are so easy to drive, it’s not really driving through.

[@eliotgarcia21]

If you can you should do a review on a Lincoln Aviator GT Black Label.

[@ACCELER8TV]

Would love to!

[@seputar_kampung]

Nice your video Pake bahasa indonesia itu keren banget video nya🇮🇩

I mean I have a 2011 LX AWD that I'm going to be LS swapping

[@SBsupreme602]

Doesn’t hold value , only a good guy if you keep a car for long period time (the warranty) other than that it doesn’t hold value

[@placepages8071]

For the record it's pronounced "Sportage"

Is the vid a car review or a speech class?

I love sportage

[@KDeesGamez]

That certainly didn't make me want to buy it. Lolol

[@bradschertz6736]

Hyundai Tucson is such a bigger and better vehicle.

[@michaelpratt1092]

2022 better then the 2023

[@Alemgr56]

Ok subscribed

[@husker_nation]

I hope they take design cues from the K5 (formerly Optima) on the next generation of the Sportage. This design is getting old

[@steverampton2462]

I've learned thehard way Kia DOES NOT STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT. History of faulty engines and finds excuses not to honor warranty.

[@MrBeastKorea]

Constructive criticism, you walk too much bro. You already move a lot with your hand gestures. See the difference if you just stay in place and move only when necessary.

[@ACCELER8TV]

Can’t. It’s in my DNA!

[@lilsdon]

No good for me, the damn steering wheel is on the wrong side!

[@thecrow3385]

BUENA INFORMACION COMANDO RRRRRR

[@firmbeliever3847]

A GDI engine? No thanks. Kia your engines & transmissions are great before keep them like that, get away from gdi please.

[@mr.speyside5240]

They’ve been GDI for a while...where have you been?

@@mr.speyside5240 thought theyve learned from their mistake by now. Toyota & Honda did.

The worst, underpowered, feels cheap, and ride is rough.

I am at my second Sportage. I’d say it rather feels comfy. I love my Kia’s.

That's what your dad said about your mother!

[@Melissa-lc5bq]

I own a 2020 Sportage..2.5 liter engine.. with leather..mine doesn’t feel cheap..Honda crv has a 1.4 liter engine that has 0 pep..more comfy than toyota, Honda and Mazda by far!

[@Das-ios]

I owned the same model But GDI, so far it’s a good car..

[@lash69]

why are you reviewing a 2 year old model car? there's nothing new about it.

[@ACCELER8TV]

Explained in the video, the new refreshed version comes next year so it will be nice to make comparisons between the two, not everyone buys new cars either.
