All-New 2023 Kia Sportage | How To Use Your Smart Power Liftgate!

[@adamlasher]

Does anyone know how to turn off the beeping for the back door? And also the beeping when going in reverse?

[@CardinalKia]

I have not actually seen that anywhere! Which reverse beep do you mean? When the parking sensors are activated, or when rear-cross traffic alert is activated? Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@richlemmermann9538]

Do you have any videos on how to change the speedometer from digital to analog? My 2023. I'm unsure if i have Type A or B. It is fully digital, but would love to have analog displays. I just got the Kia...thanks Rich

[@franco9505]

great info! could you cover the feature for reverse side mirror? I think it's a feature the x-line limited

[@iqlogic]

Hello, great and practical tutorials 👍 Please could you make a video how to replace halogen lights above the license plate and in the interior above the sunshades? 😊

[@SandyBoyy9214]

Does it have a sensor based open option like in BMW X3?

[@CardinalKia]

I haven't used a BMW X3 specifically, but you don't have to worry about you interacting with a sensor. All you have to do is be close enough to the back with the keyfob, and the car will do the rest! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@MisssTeryyy]

Hi Andrew, do you have some video on how the ESC (electronic suspension control) works and how to properly set it with GT-LINE Sportage?

[@CardinalKia]

We don't have any option here to control suspension.. but if you mean the Electronic Stability Control, it's defaulted to being on, and I show you how to turn it off here: studio.kzbin.infoJv5aTCn0jzk/edit - Andrew

[@thomasspencer483]

I don't mind the sound of opening your rear trunk, but the sound when you back up in reverse. How can I turn that off or lower the sound.

[@CardinalKia]

Answered that in your other comment! - Andrew

[@travisbell1732]

How do you get the lift cate to close when your hands are full?

[@CardinalKia]

You would have to press the button to close. Unfortunately, there is no auto-close on this. Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@rcairflr]

good info, thanks

[@CardinalKia]

Keep an eye out for more coming! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@IAmLeutrimTopalli]

What trims is this feature available on?

[@CardinalKia]

This is available on the EX Premium AWD and the X-Line Limited AWD here in Canada. Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@Chris_Blue]

I have this feature on my SX Prestige here in America and I came out of a grocery store with my hands full and this didn't work for me and I had it enabled, so not sure what the deal was. Don't get me wrong it does work, but seems like at times it doest want to.

[@CardinalKia]

All the requirements need to be met for it to work, including the vehicle fully off and locked, being away long enough, and no other keys inside the car for example. It's hard to pinpoint exactly why each time, but having that feature on my two personal vehicles, it works the large majority of the time. Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@Chris_Blue]

@CardinalKia Ok I'll try and play around with it and see what happens.

[@michailmorias985]

What happens if you have a bike rack on the back and forget to take the automatic setting off? Will the hatch know if there is something in the way and not open up?

[@CardinalKia]

Unfortunately it would keep going until there was contact and enough resistance, then it would go the other way. Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@michailmorias985]

@@CardinalKia Thanks for your response!

[@CardinalKia]

@michailmorias985 You're most welcome! Just be careful! - Andrew

[@egailstrong]

do you have a video on connecting carplay when the directions do not work

[@CardinalKia]

That's on my list, keep an eye out! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@lordhelpus6213]

U have to get the app I just brought one but forgot. I’m waiting for dealer call me with the name of app.

[@betovs13]

Hello which color is that Sportage is it the Steel Gray?

[@CardinalKia]

This is the Shadow Matte Grey! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@Hemipapa]

Is this on the x- pro I have the setting but it doesn't seem to work

[@CardinalKia]

We don't have the X-Pro here, but I can see on their website that the Smart Power Liftgate is listed under X-Pro. Might have to get it checked out! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@Hemipapa]

@@CardinalKia thank you I will probably something simple I'm not doing

[@aihanrahimov]

Does it close when you are getting far?

[@CardinalKia]

Unfortunately no, only smart power open on this one. Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@jamiekim5733]

Would like to come and buy it from you guys, but live NB… too far,,, 😢 Excellent review !!!

[@CardinalKia]

That's fair! Just keep watching the videos, haha! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@evelynbustos8621]

I have a 2023 KIA Sportage. My key does not have the option of the open gate? It only the lock doors , unlock doors, alarm and hold button

[@CardinalKia]

The trim level you have may not have a power liftgate unfortunately. Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@jamyorday]

@@CardinalKia I have the hybrid EX, does mine not have it??

[@CoHzus]

@@CardinalKia same situation here and I’m so sad and baffled that it’s not included in a 2023 car that costs 35k lol

[@NewYorksFinest1]

we cant find the kia sportage in our area of seattle

[@CardinalKia]

That's a shame! Get an order placed, it will be worth the wait! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@NandoDi93]

There doesnt seem to be a button on the inside of my car to pop open the trunk. I have a EX FWD

[@CardinalKia]

It's very possible that your trim level does not have the Smart Power Liftgate option. We don't even have an EX FWD option here in Canada. Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@kristinealmeida4814]

Do you guys have stocks?

[@CardinalKia]

Be sure to check out www.cardinalkia.com/en/new-inventory to see what is in stock, what is incoming, and what has been sold! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@41yearoldnewdriver]

I like the new 2023 Kia Sportage. This Saturday I will be 42. I am looking forward to my birthday. I love the Kia Sportage.

[@CardinalKia]

Wonderful! I hope you have a great birthday! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@41yearoldnewdriver]

@@CardinalKia Thank you my birthday is on Saturday. I am excited to be turning 42.

You got it, haha! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@mayankgarg2912]

Is this on the x- pro I have the setting but it doesn't seem to work

[@CardinalKia]

It should be, and to my knowledge it should work the same! I would make sure that the vehicle is fully locked, and you have to walk away from it for a minute or two, as if you've like gone into a store or something. Thanks for watching! - Andrew
