any chance of reviewing the tank 500 ultra HEV

[@WilliamVandervleut]

Another great review :) I love my Diesel GT-Line, it uses 7.6L/100kms and the Torque at over 400nm it is so effortless to drive. I only bought it a few weeks ago and had no interest in the Hybrid as its only front wheel drive and doesn't have the torque of the diesel. Apart from Kia Connect and wireless CarPlay there isn't really anything else the newer infotainment software offers, mostly just a reskin. I wasn't bothered waiting for the facelift Sportage either as its still 12 months away and It seems its going to look similar to the new Sorento which Im not much of a fan of tbh. The pre-facelift Sorento was the better looking vehicle imo.

[@MisterLovaLova]

Diesel gets you the economy you want, is cheaper to but, and comes in AWD. Has to be the diesel for me, personally.

[@user-zg3di3gu2u]

I have just bought a GT-line hybrid. It IS pricey, I agree, but after test driving it a few weeks ago, and comparing it to others I had driven, I was sold on it. It is really nice to drive, has good power (for my needs - not all of us need to get from 0 to 100 in under 7 seconds), great fuel economy and it has enough whistles and bells to make it interesting and fun.

Agree. But they don’t. Some don’t have a spare at all. Lame 😒

[@tritonute]

@jerrymyahzcat Recently a Mitsubishi electric car was highly advertised as being a great, capable car that could handle Australian off road conditions. The results impressed a lot of people, but the downside was a full size spare Tyre had to be carried on the roof. Plus a jack needed to be purchased. There was no room for the tools and Tyre because the battery took up all the room. If you put the Tyre into the back, there was little room for any other luggage.

[@pummyy]

You don't need a spare until you need it. I was driving back from easter could see a guy doing 80 on a free stretch of 110 speed limit hume highway because ofcourse space savers. worse is no spare and comes with the tyre repair kit. ridiculous.

Bmw X5 50e ....Would love to hear your opinion 😊

[@ablomandela2194]

I always wondered why we don’t have diesel hybrid, that would be really fuel efficient

[@tomskellern6128]

agreed

[@beograd07]

maybe not so much as expected. El motor benefits in a petrol engine is at low revs in the city at stop start traffic where petrol engine consumption jumps considerably (even with built in stop/start function) . On the other hand diesel has already higher torque on low revs so el. motor has not much to contribute to the consumption level on diesel platform. On higher revs el motor doesn't do much to either platform for the consumption. Maybe I am wrong any engineer can correct me, this is just my opinion.

[@acde9355]

The DPF/GPF for diesel and petrol engines, respectively, don't work well with hybrid powertrains since hybrid engines usually have a lower exhaust temperature. Conventional engines typically have enough temperature for the DPF or GPF to self-clean because they "waste" enough energy to heat up the DPF or GPF. The hybrid powertrain is to kill this type of energy waste to save fuel, meaning the "waste heat" may not be enough for the DPF or GPF to work properly. This problem has already caused disputes and recalls in China with Toyota Hybrid cars.

[@jerrymyahzcat]

There are diesel hybrid trucks.

[@acde9355]

@@jerrymyahzcat Yes, but still very few. Hybrid buses are more often seen, but it is said that their fuel efficiency is not as optimised as people expected from the lab test. Heavy vehicles must use a diesel or natural gas engine, and they usually have a higher exhaust temperature, making the diesel hybrid a possible solution. But small cars/SUVs and utes are just different.

[@MegaRetr]

why is australia so slow to get these? this car has been for sale overseas for what seems like years??

[@alereon]

Because Australia is Australia

[@DanCB03]

The only reason why I can think why the speed limit warning didn’t beep is due to the software, our 2022 Sorento GT-Line has the speed limit warning but it doesn’t beep like how the new Kia/Hyundai products do, I think this Sportage has the older speed limit warning software. The infotainment system looks the exact same to our Sorento

[@Natethemeercat]

I agree with the comments about the diesel drivetrain, I think that the elephant in the room is the DPF, it's not suited to urban use. Emission restrictions have killed the diesel. In my humble opinion hybrid vehicles are the future.

[@Richard-sl8we]

By end of 2024 both Tucson and Sportage will not offer diesel in Australia; essentially replaced by a hybrid powertrain. Sportage hybrid will only be FWD; Tucson will have choice between AWD and FWD.

[@Pango5697]

SX is entry level? I thought it was LX? From the video, it is a base model car. Maybe things are different down under?

[@Richard-sl8we]

Yes, in Australia the entry level for the Sportage hybrid is SX. Top spec is the GT-Line. Sportage hybrid in Oz is only FWD. The Hyundai Tucson (updated model) hybrid coming in mid-2024 to Australia will have the choice of FWD or AWD. All Kia and Hyundai cars supplied to Australia are made in South Korea, good reputation for reliability and quality. Also have good dealer support in Australia.

You seem to have forgotten about the Haval H6 Hybrid as a competitor, same price as entry level Sportage you get the top spec Haval.

[@alexcampbell1767]

I don’t know why all car reviews forget about Haval/gwm. Their Hybrids are getting good and giving the RAV4 a run for its money. It’s as if they think the company isn’t established or won’t last. Yet the sales are through the roof.

[@Richard-sl8we]

​​​@@alexcampbell1767 In 2023, the Haval 6 was not in the top 20 models sold in Australia. Their total was just over 13k units; the leader in this category is the RAV-4, almost 30k units sold. (ICE + Hybrid) The top sellers in this category are RAV-4, MG-ZS, CX-5, Tucson and Sportage.

[@vustatube]

Looks just like the standard sportage. Its such a shame that the GT line isnt AWD given its price tag too. Unfortunately rav4 is still the benchmark. AWD at around 60k with great efficiency. At least kia gives you a space saver spare, its better than those repair kits

[@jasonbrown3646]

I like the diesel option too, but I’m concerned about the resale in 5 years time. I reckon EV’s will be dominating and if you want to run an ICE you’ll be hit with taxes, this will impact resale values which is why I would buy the hybrid

[@tritonute]

You'd think that Australian imports should be equipped with a full spare. A puncture repair kit doesn’t fix a tyre that has sidewall damage. In Europe and larger worldwide cities you can call a roadside tyre service.. but find yourself outside a large city here in Australia, you've got issues.

The RAV4 (and RAV4 hybrid) is rubbish anyway so I don’t know why anyone would wait for it. The new X-Trail isn’t a hybrid. It’s ePower. The engine can’t power the wheels - it’s only used to generate electricity - the car is fully EV powered (but not a full BEV) but the engine charges the batteries. To be a hybrid there needs to be both ICE and EV driving the wheels. Never buy any Kia below GT-Line spec. Hyundai claims the fuel economy figures??? Surely you mean Kia? And why does the engine icon look like a jack-o-lantern or a demon? The 80-120 test needs to be done from cruising at 80 not on the run up to 100. It’s supposed to represent pulling out at 80 to pass.

[@Richard-sl8we]

RAV-4 hybrid cannot be rubbish, it is the top seller in this sector. Your personal opinion does not make it fact! RAV-4 also has the least depreciation, it's the smart buy; one of a few reasons why it always has a waiting list.

The RAV4 won car of the year for 2 years in a row. It's also the top selling car in this segment by far and one of the top selling cars globally for the last few years. So clearly you are wrong.

@@Richard-sl8we also top selling doesn’t make it good. Lots of people buy rubbish. The Corolla was top selling for 17years in New Zealand. It was never very good. Depreciation or lack doesn’t mean it’s any good. Just means it holds its value. Probably because people want it for whatever reason.

@@Brian-jb2gv no clearly people are dumb and buy lame vehicles. There is nothing in your answer to indicate that it’s actually any good. Its bland. The driveline is crap. It’s rubbish off-road.

So quickish, but easily outpaced by the 6.5sec Nissan X-Trail E:Power AWD. However, while the Kia/Hyundai 4 cylinder 1.6T is not the most reliable engine, it should on average do better than the problematic Nissan 3 cylinder 1.5T in the E:Power.
