[@backbodyengineers9645]

I understand the 2 spots on top and the stow away spot under the floor. Why would you move it to the spot just on top of the floor? It sounds like a useless spot.

[@lynnebarkas6906]

Depend what your carrying.

[@lesleywillis6177]

I liked the 2 pieces of string that lifted it when you opened the boot. Created a problem that didn’t need fixing!

[@charliegeorge.]

Just a storage position to avoid storing it in garage, i prefer the good old firm parcel shelf which lifts with the boot/trunk opening and easily removable if needed.

[@ScratchyBaws]

Was expecting something amazing when i read the title. ZZZZzzzzzzzzz.

[@raymondward7057]

Have the same thing in my 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. Bought it the car used with no cover. Bought the cover at Amazon, a lot cheaper than getting it at Hyundai.

[@kevinthomson6324]

That’s a very clever solution to the cover being in the way more than it’s useful. First thing I’ve always done with those covers is take them out and put them in the garage. Then they sit there till I sell the car

[@cdnmetelhead4013]

Do the headrests on the new kia sportage ajust forwards and backwards .??or just up and down

[@johnmh1000]

Very helpful, thanks. I've purchased two Sportages and I'm very impressed with the features, attention to detail and equipment ranges. I had a Vauxhall before the Sportages and in my opinion there is no comparison. Kia cars are the real deal, Vauxhalls you pay (over the odds) for the badge.

[@BrantfordKia]

Kia's have come a long ways! They're great value vehicles with great features! Thanks for watching!

[@tonyverdechi9157]

Remeber, this trunk curtain has two purpose: 1- hise stuff for potential thieves; 2- retain stuff in case of an accident. Even at mid speed, you'll be suprised how stuff fly around in a car and you'll be suprised what velocity can do to "harmless" things lie a tissue box...

[@aliabed9394]

Thanks for this video but the spare tire doesn't allow the cargo to fit! I have this problem with KIA Sportage 2021!

[@BrantfordKia]

In Canadian vehicles, the cargo cover will still fit, but we have a space saving spare tire. If you're from somewhere else, it may be different.

[@jamiecooksey9037]

I guess I'm not a smart arse like some of your f***wit know-it-alls, but appreciate the reveal. If I am carrying a lot of gear where the luggage profile goes above the cargo cover, its nice to know I can store the cover under the floor and not bury it in my garage, never to be found again. Thanks, for taking the time to make the video 👍

[@cfldriven]

It not a white balance issue, it is overexposure. Switch camera to manual exposure and adjust for person talking or limit amount of light hitting subject.

[@GREATNESS275]

Did not know about the under floor stowage in my 2019 Tucson. Thanks for the additional info Peter!

[@BrantfordKia]

Thanks for watching!

[@robertklopfer7713]

Thanks for the tips. Very helpful. My 2024 Sportage Hybrid did not come with a cover. Can get one at Amazon for $99.

[@ernestayo6131]

Neat, wish all such covers has those options.

[@thisolesignguy2733]

I have a toyota rav4, and it has that cargo cover and the hidden compartment. I'll tell you, with all the neat little hidden features the only one that I love the most is the fact that my fishing poles fit perfect down in that hidden compartment! I also modified the clips that clip on to the back seat headrests to be a little tighter so I can toss a pole on top of that. my tackle box fits perfect down the hidden compartment also. NEVER buy a vehicle your poles won't fit in! words of wisdom :)

[@carbuff81]

My friend just purchased a 2019 Sorento, I have to check his cargo area to see if it has the hidden storage area or not.

[@Abhinav1708]

In Australia the Sportage comes with a full size spare so can't stick it under the load cover. I wish i could as it now just lives in a corner in the garage.

[@BrantfordKia]

Ah! yes. I'm hearing from a lot of Australians who can't do this because of the full-size spare.

[@robinburn4974]

Wow the things you can do with a piece of plastic, let's all rush out and buy a Kia

[@BrantfordKia]

It seems like you’re looking for a response. So yes, you should definitely buy a Kia!

I have learned so much from your videos because my 2022 Kia Sportage EX did not have any. Do you know where I can purchase them? The downloaded version is too small for my eyes to read. Thanks in advance and will check out more of your videos. Looking for how to start your vehicle from my key fob 🤞💙

[@CarpeNoctem.3rd]

Just bought a 2024 Kia Sorento Hybrid, I never knew about the handy trick. Thanks.

[@gordol66]

I knew about all of those except for the under-floor one. Though, I do also use those sides for other things... pull the side floor panel out, and that is the perfect size to keep a gallon of washer fluid from flying all over the place.

[@BrantfordKia]

Awesome! Great tip! Thanks for sharing!

[@kathyschultz5994]

I just bought a 2023 Hyundai Kona. Can I get one of these retractable covers to replace the non-retractable, non-tuckable, non-foldable one that came with the car? I have to look for the little square holes. And by the way, snarksters, not everybody has a garage.

[@Mr5150guy]

The hidden method won't work with 2025 Sorento Hybrid because there is a 12v battery in the way under a plastic cover. All the other methods work.

[@classic287]

What? I didn't know that. I'll have to check my 06 Highlander. I put my cover in the shed when we got the car 🤔

Why is there no option to purchase a cargo cover for the Kia 2021 Soul? I can’t find an accessory anywhere. This makes no sense at all especially with the current crime wave. I’m using a black puffer coat, ridiculous!!

[@bernielafrance5548]

Underfloor storage doesn't work on the 2023 Australian SX+ version of the Sportage - the full size spare takes up too much space.

[@Team_Little_Mates]

What a shame you can't talk about a super helpful demobilizing device that comes in several of your vehicles but then again, who the fuck would want to steal a Kia or Hyundai let alone buy one?

[@redcrimson1028]

Does anyone know if a kia sorento (2020) can fit a ninja carpet extractor in the back with the third and second row seats down, with the 25" hose as well? Please let me know

[@TrueNomadSkies]

All of those positions, and they couldn't have just made a useful cargo shelf instead like the PT Cruiser had over 20 years ago now.

[@anathardayaldar]

Cargo covers are not included in many new cars and are listed as $200 . Instead of paying that, I'm using a spare large dark cloth to cover cargo. And make it look like a pile of rags. I heard thieeves will break into cars just to see whats under the carge cover.

[@rickyunitec3219]

My car is a 2017 Kia Sportage GT line and i cannot lower the bottom boot floor nor can I store the cover below it as it's hitting the spare wheel. FYI the spare wheel is 245 45 R19

[@BellaHargeaves]

We bought a 2016 Sorento in 2015, and put the cargo cover under the floor and didnt take it out until so sold it in 2023😂

[@nataliefeelme4416]

that cheap of a cargo cover I had 40 years ago in my car! Shocking for what you have to pay for the sportage, getting that cheap stuff in it.. bothers me a LOT. I know that as soon as I find a better car I am selling the sportage. I miss the good old days, where a Japanese car was the best. Now you get cheap stuff for a high price from Korea..

My question is, are these features in the owners manual, if they are then it is proof the people don't read the manual? They only consult it to do some lookup if there is a problem when the car won't start.

[@brentmarshall4049]

They need to make the cover sit a little higher, my cooler does not fit under it and when we had our Sorento I could not use it and now the Sportage the cover will not work.

[@Andrew8126]

@@sunset8966 Have had it for 3 weeks and 500 miles. In US. SX-Prestige model. Third Sorento in a row: 2015, then a 2019. Other Kias: 2009 Rondo, 2017 Soul EV, and 2019 Niro EV. Other cars in that stretch: 2011 Jetta SportWagen TDI, 2011 Mini Cooper, and 2017 Mazda CX-5. Love it so far. As far as the drive, it’s great. Powerful enough, smooth enough, and agile enough. As far as the looks, mine is white and I love it. Interior is really nice. Everyone fawns over the vents, but I find that their location and adjustability leave a little something to be desired. Kids love the second row heated captain’s chairs, but I would have rather had a second row bench. It’s way more “tech forward” than the 2019, which makes things a little cumbersome, but it’s easy enough to figure out. I wish it had wireless Apple CarPlay. My 2019 had rain-sensing wipers, and this one doesn’t. Only a small loss. In some other countries there’s a HUD. I don’t miss it (my wife has it in her Mazda), but some folks might. I like all the safety kit, with one possible exception: That thing where the blind spot gets displayed on the dash. It might be useful in highway or dense urban driving, but in just driving around in the suburbs it’s distracting, and I turned it off. The fuel economy has been staggering, and we’re still breaking it in. I’m getting 60mpg overall. And the transition between propulsion systems is incredibly smooth. The third row is for occasional use, which is exactly what I want it for. Note that the side curtain airbags DO NOT protect third-row passengers. I didn’t want, and don’t need, something as big as the Telluride. Only direct competition coming to US in near term is the Outlander PHEV. The timing didn’t work for me, and I’m a bit of a Kia fan, and I just can’t get past the Mitsubishi’s looks, but that’s of course subjective. These are my initial thoughts. Happy to talk more. Good luck in your search.

[@awebber]

The cargo cover stows under the floor on my 2014 Outback too, so it may be common to various manufacturers. Doesn't have a position for upright back seats, it has an annoying 4" fixed screen to cover the gap when seats upright. Hyundai's system better, now I just need to source a cover for my 2022 SF. :)

[@susanhenderson2322]

Or remove it , store it some place then try to figure out where you put it 3 years later when you trade it in because engine is pooched

[@WideCuriosity]

So, the big secret is that you can move it to other positions, the reason for which is not clear, or you can hide it away and forget about it under the floor ? Glad I watched now.

[@gordonrobb]

Exactly what I was thinking. They didn’t cover the fact that I can take it off and put it in my garage 😂

[@reckley]

I've been hiding mine under a blanket. I feel such a fool now!

[@reckley]

or I could have put it in Gordon Robb's garage.

A lot of people didn't know about the under floor location. A lot of people didn't realize that it had multiple positions at all. I just made the video to do my job to help people, I'm not sure if it's fair to fault me that it doesn't help you.

So u have a boot blind to cover the boot, an then hide the object which hides stuff in the boot? Kinda pointless getting one really. Plus all that shut should been pointed out when buying one surely? So not much of a secret. I was expecting there to be a bbq in it

[@BrantfordKia]

You missed the bbq? You should definitely watch it again to see the bbq! I agree that the salesperson should point this out when buying it, but I think people forget how much technology comes with these vehicles. For a salesperson to accurately go over everything it would take hours, and let's be honest, if that happened, the customer will never retain everything. Plus, it sounds like if a salesperson were to show you this, you'd shut them down before we could show you some of the secrets! You don't seem interested, and that's a normal part of delivering a car, some customers don't want to know every detail about every little thing, so they leave without knowing everything.

Where to buy the cargo cover for 2022 Kia Seltos EX? My dealer doesn't have one.

[@BrantfordKia]

I could be wrong, but I think the plastic on the side of the trunk area have to be built to support the cover, and that may not be the case with the Seltos EX. It may only be available on the SX. I'm just guessing because the cover can definitely be purchased from your Kia dealer, but they usually look up parts by VIN and if your specific vehicle will not fit the cover in the SX, that may be why they're telling you that it's unavailable.

[@sala.2493]
