Windshield is heated, worth noting. Also, for anyone looking to make their gauge cluster look real futuristic, try the "dynamic" theme in settings. It'll change the theme by time of day and weather conditions.

Just watched the new 2023 Honda C-RV reveal. Let's say after watching it, I wasn't impressed. This new Sportage it's in a league of its own. Styling and technology is unmatched.

[@thearcadeventures]

I love the new design on the kia sportage, idk, i just like the design. :)

[@Ace-ht1is]

the white color and some black touches look awesome wow

[@xavierrobinson200]

I love the radio/ac controls. ESPECIALLY if you can set one or the other as a default... I use my steering wheel for volume and am saying ok Google to change songs

[@dionwarr5202]

You can choose a default or no default.

[@everibuddihellow6042]

i drove both. sportage has better handling than RAV4

[@ramoncarter6585]

I love the new design of the Sportage.

[@Kunani19]

Kia has definitely improved with the interior and infotainment area! Would definitely buy a Sportage if I was going to get a Kia…

[@johnathanhansbury8110]

I just bought the new Sportage. Drove way better than the crv and rav 4.

[@Sekkzc]

hey dude, congrats on your new car. i too am about to buy a sportage, but i’m extremely hesitant given kia’s history with their engine problems. can i ask, what’re your thoughts on it? is it worth it or should i look at another brand?

[@johnathanhansbury8110]

I am extremely happy with my purchase

[@NOLA_playmaker]

Why does no one show the moon roof and how it works

[@vickiekrebs7912]

I want to see backup lights

[@kenmccune8843]

The front end of the Kia is awesome SUV

[@williamconnell6541]

Do we have ambient lighting and does the glass roof retract?

[@angelchaparro9310]

Yes with a $300 option and the sunroof does retract!

[@Mikemendez21]

How much are people leasing these for nowadays?

[@jlmartinez8482]

Sportage looks fantastic ! 👌 I also love the new logo but it needs a Lil black outline on it. At a glance you can't see it.

[@melindaroy3679]

I agree about a black outline to the logo. I have the glacial white and I wish the logo was a contrasting color or had some outline to be seen better.

[@Uniteddreamerud]

Oh dude absolutely. I was thinking the same thing

[@alterlimit]

I watched almost all of your videos, i found them helpful for me, thanks! Hope to manage to grow my channel like yours :)

[@ShineLikeaProAZ]

It looks like your channel is doing well! Thumbs up from a small KZbinr!

[@ShineLikeaProAZ]

I just subscribed to your channel!

[@alterlimit]

@@ShineLikeaProAZ i did to yours as well!

[@21kidsanddogs]

i do not understand why they can not make the interior - seating and roof the same color- i do not think the 2 different colors look good - what is the reason?

[@UnknownAlioso]

How is the SynTex upholstery? Would it stand up to a dog?

[@jayray274]

It doesn’t matter when every Kia Dealer wants atleast 3K+ over MSRP!

[@angelchaparro9310]

My local Kia dealer has a 6,700 markup

[@paulinetorres2204]

10k higher saw today. Insane

[@keithbailey4986]

Dealer said Kia not accepting new orders on hybrid Sportages right now

[@keyshawnrussell245]

Maybe just your dealer but i just put in a order two days ago

[@DELOS13]

Rav4 is too loud and it has issues with 2019 modle Limited and Adventure with transfer case, the 4X4 system. I've always been a support and fan of KIA from day 1 back in 95 when the 1st Sportage came out here on the east coas. The Sportage is better looking in and out!!! Rav4 looks ok and it lacks power too, they need to option a 6V or 4 cinders ttub

[@specialcantbestopped7273]

I want a kia so bad

[@dmitrikarzubov2699]

Much better

[@loc107]

Toyota is King 👑

[@Wild1995]

I like everything except the front headlights. I think they went too far.

[@paintwesley]

Lol auto wipers never worked

[@dynamicentry8321]

Rav 4 is king

[@davidkaras5946]

It's definitely not better... For less money, you get quality to match. I was just choosing 95 cars for our fleet and for the test, I also went to see KIA... I would definitely not buy this car for the fleet and certainly not as a personal car. The quality and handling of the RAV4 is incomparably better, I don't deny that the RAV4 can look more dated (which is solved by the 2023 model, that's why I ordered it too ;) ). The KIA Sportage does have a lot of fancy electronic gadgets (But exactly the same as the RAV4 Limited/Executive version, depending on which country you are in. ) But who buys cars in a lower version than in the TOP :) But the clear win according to this car is the price, for little money you feel like you bought a good car... But that depends only on the point of view. I have the same feeling when deciding in the VW vs Toyota vs Audi.

[@thinhho7050]

I'm not sure what country are you in or what year of RAV4 you mentioned. But the 2022 in Florida, US ones are really bad. The steering wheel is so loose -> handling sucks. The exterior of the car seem slimmer than the ones in the past -> it makes the car noisier. And when we drove on the highway, it's like the car was blown by the wind like a paper. My uncle in Vietnam said the RAV4 there is tough, but here in US it feels bad idk. That's why we traded it back in for the Lexus @.@ and i mean the quality and handling is much worse than the new Sportage in the video.

[@thinhho7050]

And the windows and windshield are like fully clear -> it let all the bright light pass through -> need tinted. But on the Sportage it's a little bit darker -> comfortable for your eyes. And the other sound system (like turn signal) is really noisy. I'm done w Toyota you know :))) if i have to choose Japanese car I would go for Mazda or Honda instead. Or try harder for Lexus or else

[@jamesstover2158]

The rav4 looks like it’s a decade old. Dated boring interior
