Really useful review. Car looks excellent. Thanks !

[@DamoDrives]

Glad you enjoyed the video , it is a really good looking car and love all of the tech as well. Something you are considering or like me a petrol head that loves things on 2 or 4 wheels

[@mhouslay7281]

@@DamoDrives Hi. Thanks very much for the reply. I had a test drive on the regular hybrid and totally agree with you and intend to buy one (need to decide between that and the PHEV though). I love the tech and style plus, for an SUV, it drives really rather well. It’s not like my GT86 of course (yep, I love cars too). 😊👍

[@skytechm07]

Is this turning to transmission mode if you push a little on pedal while in EV mode ? Thanks

[@shawnweekes6518]

Hi. Is this the GT Line or the GT Line S you are testing? The display screen on the right looks different? The car looks excellent to drive. Nice review....

[@davidifyjones]

And the seat too. This is GT Line.

What is the music track on the start of the video?

[@rudolfdsilva2844]

What's the mileage on pure EV mode?

[@linedancer111]

That’s renewed my interest, I was thinking of cancelling mine, due to the very very long weigh! but will persevere, I’ve waited nearly 6 months!

[@DamoDrives]

They are great cars with loads of tech as well. Unless you a desperate for a new car might as well hang on as you have managed 6 months. Have been told with other manufacturers (especially BEV models) 12-18 months. Not sure how they can release a new model year of people are waiting over a year as everyone would cancel and want the next model 🤔

[@AHoundOnAHonda]

What's a "long weigh"?

[@howardbowen-RC-Pilot]

Nice review

[@DamoDrives]

Howard Glad you enjoyed it

[@howardbowen-RC-Pilot]

@@DamoDrives you haven't reviewed many EVs yet. In Sept I decided petrol was getting too pricey and only going up. I've got two of them now a 71plate Mokka-e and a 71 plate Fiat 500e. Both claim to have 200m range wltp and cost is about the same but they're quite different animals.

[@DamoDrives]

It’s trying to get hold of cars for me as manufacturers currently do not think the channel has enough reach but trying. Took the Cupra born to a car meet today and then a Spirited drive.

[@davidprice6994]

I want one now lol great colour to

[@DamoDrives]

A really good vehicle, looks good and I love tech so perfect. Needed to spend a bit more time with it to get a proper idea

[@AHoundOnAHonda]

Great colour to what?

[@grenvilleeast2337]

Hi is that meant to be the GT line S

[@DamoDrives]

That’s what I was told although a long time ago

[@MrWhelts]

The water sound is because you pressed the Media button. Thank God you never selected Fireside ........... you'd have got the extinguisher out.

[@DamoDrives]

I know , was just a little unusual

[@mystomagic8377]

Was there anything you didn't like about the Kia Sportage GTLine S PHEV?

[@DamoDrives]

Over the very short period of time no but it is difficult and frustrating did not have very much battery as the other reviewers had used it. Like the looks , Tech, comfort so a really good car all round

[@mystomagic8377]

@DamoDrives I've had one on order since June, delivery April 2023, hopefully. That's a long time to wait.

[@chrisburkinshaw1819]

5 minutes driving and no battery power left, what’s the point ?

[@DamoDrives]

You must remember I was not the 1st person driving the car and a number of journalists had been out in it already. I would think it the real world it would be be very different

[@Baldy444]

When fully charged you can drive up to 43 miles on EV only

[@alexistsaleras1481]

​@@Baldy444have you tested it yourself? Cause i ordered one now(with estimated delivery on September 24) and i was curious if its true. 42 miles its a very decent range.
