*Headphone users, I really apologize for the audio, you can fix it on your end by turning on mono audio. For iOS users, go to settings, accessibility, audio+visual, and turn on mono audio and everything will be fixed on your end if you choose to watch. I have ordered a new microphone for all videos starting next week and again, I seriously apologize. My editing software was playing everything back normally so I didn’t notice until it was recently pointed out to me..* Thanks for watching!

I keep my eyes open for those videos!

The reason the second row seats slide outward is to create a small aisle in the center to access the 3rd row.

This was the most comprehensive review I’ve seen of this refreshed vehicle. And I’ve seen it all. Will be purchasing this exact trim but a hybrid model whenever it becomes available.

[@WTFCRLT1]

Thanks Brian, this is a really good choice! 👍🏼

[@jonathanthomas1652]

Planning on test driving this tomorrow and this video covered everything I had on my checklist to see and more. Easily one of the best reviews ever seen.

Beautiful full size Van . Lots of Room and Comforts for a young Growing Family. Great review again Will 👏.

[@PapioRed]

Bench second row is much better option. Glad that Kia offers it.

[@vuville514]

Nope. My wife absolutely loves the captain's chair with ottoman. She sleeps back there on long road trips. Bench is more practical. But for comfort, the captain's chair with ottoman is the way to go...hands down.

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

Great job Will & I will buy this new van 1 day.

[@WTFCRLT1]

Right on!

[@linuphysio]

Buddy, you got terribly wrong the way going to the third row. For this car, you need to slide the 2nd row captain seats to the sides and go through the middle. For all other vans, you will go through the way you did, but this one is different.

[@am8115]

They raised the price on this car so much

[@MetropolitanIndianapolisLiving]

1:32 definitely like the new facia lights update

[@Thebusdriverandgamermorefan790]

Amazing review Will.

[@cargogh]

Good review as usual!

[@WTFCRLT1]

Glad you liked it! 👍🏼

[@carsbykev7037]

As a car geek and van lover, I’m pretty sure that you have two options for the rear access made easy, all of which you had issue with bc you had both seats moved inward: 1) Slide one to the outward position then the side you want to use primarily for access can just slide FURTHER inside, allowing access to the 3rd row quickly…Like the Honda Odyssey that they copied. 2) Slide both seats outward and use the center row (many do this…Looks like the seats still slide backwards a good bit in outward position. Outward is likely where they’ll be if you’re using the 3rd row as you only need to move inward to lay it past the rear panel. 3) Slide them forward while on the outer most position (maybe?)

I was looking at the sante fe or carnival, the hybrid on both, what do you think. Great review 🎉🎉🎉

[@WTFCRLT1]

This is miles ahead in practicality so it really depends on what kind of deal you can get. I’d definitely lean towards the carnival 👍🏼

[@user-vk5ld5uf8l]

Cool!

[@montdiamonds5738]

Why give the forte,sorento and carnival the same headlights?

[@johncarson9946]

Nice car. We were waiting on this '25 model, as our dogs are getting older and struggling to get into the SUV. Great video, but one thing I found distracting was the background music. IMO, I don't think you need this. Otherwise, keep up the good work.

[@MetropolitanIndianapolisLiving]

3:39 only 26 highwy. 🤔 Waiting gof the hybrid to see what it gets

[@baltazarkosa29]

the past 3-4 videos on this channel only have audio in the left ear when using headphones - both wired and tws! do something dude!

[@craiglandman3776]

Same issue. I thought I had issues with my earphones, but obviously not

[@34EMA]

Yes, same problem. I thought I had a problem with my headset.

[@WTFCRLT1]

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Audio & Visual, turn on mono audio and it will play equally through both headphones. My editing software unfortunately played everything back normally so I wasn’t able to notice until now. I will be buying a new microphone immediately but that should correct everything on your end if you choose to watch in the meantime. Again, I sincerely apologize and will have a new microphone for next weeks videos 👍🏼

[@shawnharris7747]

That 2nd moonroof made me wanna buy it n I only got one kid that's 14 😂

[@vincentlopez9944]

But is it safe? That is the most important question.

[@mohammadsaeed1321]

still no AWD?

[@user-qv2vw4fl4z]

still no AWD for American models. Canada and Australia get the AWD, though.

[@fredp3088]

That's what I'm waiting for.

[@Riverpeth]

​@@user-qv2vw4fl4zNo AWD for Canada (don't think for Australia either)

[@AntLive29]

i will pass
