All-New 2023 Kia Sportage | Button-To-Button X-Line Limited AWD Walkthrough!

[@scoobyrogers]

16:07.... you said button to button....you missed 2 buttons. On the roof forward of the sunroof buttons are 4 buttons.....Kia connect, RED emergency communications, and 2 blank buttons.... what are the blanks used for?

[@CardinalKia]

You're right! I was in a rush and knew I missed a few things! The little tow truck button is a direct line to roadside assistance, and the SOS is direct line to emergency services, Kia connect does need to be activated to use either one. I have not seen the blanks filled here in Canada (I personally don't like any blank buttons in a fully-loaded vehicle..). When I get to the videos on the other trims I'll be sure to touch base on those, thanks for bringing this up! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@scoobyrogers]

@Cardinal Kia thank you. I appreciate your response. I found out what the blanks are for. So this can help you spread the word. The 2 blanks are for a system in Korea called Hi-Pass. It is a road toll system. The two buttons are usable there once the trim around it is replaced with a card reader. The pictures I seen are pretty cool. So yeah, since the Hybrid is nake there in Korea, they are all made with these buttons and just extra system popped in if it stays in Korea. I can send you the pictures if you wish, or just search Hi-Pass system in Korea. Thank you again for your response.

[@CardinalKia]

Well that's pretty cool that they are integrated in there like that! Thank you for letting myself and everyone else know! - Andrew

Most comprehensive video Covering the objective it started with (unlike many others out there), thanks Andrew. One question - on the top of the back seats are there any lights? Also you got make one of your short videos (thats how you do it) on "1) how to set-up driver profile and 2) setting up memory seat, 3) setting up multiple multiple Bluetooth. Thanks again!

[@CardinalKia]

Thank you! Yep, on the top of each rear door, they have the LED interior lighting! Yes, I will certainly do a video on the Driver Profile setup and setting up multiple Bluetooth devices! The video for the driver memory seat is right here: ---> kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ7Vm3h5iKmCjck ! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@farchoudhury]

The best walk around and talk through video of so many that I have seen

[@CardinalKia]

Thank you so much! More coming! Thanks for waching! - Andrew

[@cynutube11]

Just bought this car in the same shade, learning so many cool Features from you, thank you.. question, can you roll the windows back up holding the unlock for 3sec?

[@CardinalKia]

It looks amazing, great choice! I'm glad they've come in handy! Unfortunately not that I have seen here. Hoping there is an update for such a thing, but I would inform everyone if I come across something! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@pofrof4910]

Great help as usual. Many thanks for your time.

[@CardinalKia]

It's my pleasure! Many thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@asterixovelix9492]

Hallo my friend could you do a detail tutorial on the 7dct transmission of Sportage.

[@CardinalKia]

Unfortunately we don't get the 7-Speed DCT on our Sportage here. Only the 8-Speed Auto on the Gasoline models and 6-Speed Auto on the HEV/PHEV. Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@whatisunsweettea786]

Excellent review

[@CardinalKia]

Thank you kindly! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@karkess313]

Do the U.S. versions come with rear seat heaters? What trim level? Thanks in advance!

[@CardinalKia]

I looked through and couldn't see any trim levels coming with that specific feature. It may be an add-on considering not all states need any heated seats at all, haha. I would connect with your local Kia to see! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@karkess313]

@@CardinalKia Thanks for the reply! I purchased the x-pro prestige in the US and it doesn't have rear seat heaters and the controls in the rear have no blanks that would indicate it as an option. Stay warm my my frosty Northern friends!

[@CardinalKia]

Sorry to hear that! Will do, we certainly need them from time to time, haha! - Andrew

[@gtCanadaOFFICIAL]

There's no power folding mirrors andrew???

[@CardinalKia]

Unfortunately no Sportage got power-folding mirrors for the new gen :(. Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@jhaynaguit1524]

Best car review ive seen keep it up 💯

[@CardinalKia]

Thank you for your kind words, and for watching! - Andrew

[@Jacob3851]

Is there heads up display ?

[@CardinalKia]

Unfortunately not! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@kevinli9035]

On the x-line AWD trim, the button for following distance on the steering wheel instead looks like a "pause/replay" button, but when I press it, it doesn't pause the music in my car play music apps...any idea what that button does?

[@CardinalKia]

Yep! That pause button is to temporarily disable your cruise control when it's on, and you press the same button to resume the speed. I'm making a video shortly to explain it, keep an eye out! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@linedancer111]

Thanks great info!

[@CardinalKia]

It's my pleasure, keep an eye out for more! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@paintwesley]

Hey man I hear you can shut off your secondary screen while driving, can you show how you can shut it off but still listen to music?

[@CardinalKia]

Yep, I'll put a video together once I have one to do so with! Keep an eye out! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@justinschielke5804]

My memory seat does not always change position when I change my profile. What is causing that or what am I doing wrong?

[@CardinalKia]

Unless you happened to save the same seat position under the same memory seat number but in the different profiles.. if that makes sense, haha. I tested this multiple times to make sure this is how it functions before I did the video. Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@thokozanizondo2944]

If I can win lotto tonight, tomorrow I will go straight to Kia garage I can't wait.

[@CardinalKia]

Great idea and good luck, haha! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@cheapgamerbros2257]

Do all xlines have fog lights?

[@CardinalKia]

In Canada, only the X-Line Limited AWD has fog lights and the X-Line AWD does not. Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@jamiekim5733]

Excellent review !!! Is that available change to mph to see what speed in states?

[@CardinalKia]

Absolutely! It's in the 12.3" infotainment screen under General then Units! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

[@jenwang7187]

one thing I don't get it why after all these years they still don't have folded mirror for sportage when parked while other model does

[@CardinalKia]

Yeah, I'm disappointed as well! Wish I had it to match my Sorento in the driveway! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
