2023-2024 Kia Sportage steering wheel and cluster | Sportage Technology

[@scdawes]

useful video , is there no longer a speed limiter option available whereby you set the speed and the vehicle will not let you go over that speed ?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Yes, there's a speed limit assist that you can set through the infotainment system under Driver Assistance --> Speed Limit. This video covers off that screen --> kzbin.info/www/bejne/anWwo6ehnq9me6M

[@bradsechrist9746]

thanks. would you be able to give a quick tour of the lower level 12.3 gauge clusters as well with the static digital speedo on the left and tach on the right? wondering what "functionality" you lose other that the blind spot view monitor. do you still get nav directions, etc in the center area the same as this one?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Great idea Brad! I'll add that to the list. You wouldn't get nav in the screen on the base cluster. If you check out this video on the Telluride it would be close to this feature set (I talk pretty fast in it haha): kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXWcqICfm92LebM

[@Eder.1908]

I got the same model, I liked the video because it’s explaining a lot of my questions lol. But what does the coffee mean and also it says attention level? Can it be removed? Thanks

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks Eder! Hah I briefly skim by the coffee and attention level.. but in a nutshell if you veer into another lane too many times without signalling it counts as a strike for the attention marker. Once you've had too many strikes in a short time, you'll get a notification to take a break from driving

[@ajalle130971]

Gosh that so clever. This will be my next car

Thanks for the heads up on that. Updated and here’s the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joK6h56tps96iJo

Mine’s with joystick why yours is clasic gear? Have questions 1) how can i use f1 gear 2) on left up of the screen there are car, line, right sign… what are thos, cant find buttom, road sign is bright rest is not 3) on up right ; driving wheel and line control signs . What does driving wheel stands for.

[@CarsWithSteve]

And you have a 2023 model? What trim level do you have and what country are you living in (some countries have different features in similar trims)?

[@davedrew9328]

Yes but what is the fast moving line at the bottom of the screen between the re counter &speedo

[@CarsWithSteve]

It's a different way to look at fuel economy. There will be a little notch with your average economy and that'll update based on your driving habits

[@jamesorwig6569]

Can power lift gate set up be addad after purchased my 2023 EX

[@CarsWithSteve]

The number of hours it would take to rip out all the panels, wire it in, program the screen etc would make it not make sense at all

[@davedrew9328]

Why oh why do you not have the same round style gear shifter as we have in the U.K. ?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Good question... Testing it out in the UK to see how people like it? I tend to like the traditional shifters over the dial

[@davedrew9328]

Why do the American’s have the old gear leaver and not the dial we have in the U.K. and Europe ?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Canadian here ;) But it's interesting you guys have the dial in EU.. Maybe something coming to our next generation models in North America

[@ambivertical]

@@CarsWithStevei’m using a KIA Sportage 2023 loaner car which has the dial. I don’t like the dial much.

[@adamosman6417]

Just bought the Hybrid EX in NYC USA. I have the dial. I noticed that too. I didn't actually know it was ever equipped that way.

[@jamesorwig6569]

my 2023 sportage ex doesnt seem to have cluster changes to anolog .is this only on higher models

[@CarsWithSteve]

I was just in a Sportage with the slightly smaller screen that doesn't have the full customization options that this one does. That video should be going live in the next few weeks

[@sharynegsmith]

Is there a way to connect the voice command to an iPhone in the 2022 sportage, I can accept calls but not make them, it says I have to connect to CarPlay, but the only way is via a cord, it’s a top of the line G line

[@CarsWithSteve]

If you do a short press on the steering wheel voice command prompt it will activate the vehicle assistant but a long press and hold will activate Siri/Google Assistant if you're hooked up over bluetooth or CarPlay/Android Auto

[@kbland456]

Is this the same for hybrid models?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Very similar feature wise but the hybrid has a slightly different look for the gauges

[@biosvova]

If the outside mirrors are electronic foldable?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Unfortunately not

[@rufdymond]

Just the fact that this steering wheel does not have stupid capacitive buttons is a win….

[@CarsWithSteve]

Haha, the old school click for the win! I don't think I've come across any vehicle yet that was capacitive on the steering wheel

[@davedrew9328]

Why do you guys in the States have that old fashioned automatic gear change selector in Europe and here in England we have a round gear selector ? Have a look at Kia Sportage in the U.K. the instrument cluster is also a much better design ?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Good question.. random choice from Kia to see how well it's received? A few other manufacturers here have moved from the traditional shifter to the dial selector instead. I'm guessing it's probably a cheaper part

[@davedrew9328]

I have one of these and I rally like driving it however you cannot work this computer settings while driving it would be bloody dangerous.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Some features can be a pain for sure but do you use the voice command prompt?

[@mistyglass2660]

I have gone back and forth with the Kia dealer since buying my wife a 2023 Telluride on 28 April. They explained the adaptive cruise control. I stayed that I’ll be driving the vehicle on trips to Georgia every other Friday and Sunday (from Orlando). I don’t want the adaptive system at all. If you’ve ever driven on I-75 you understand. The salesman and manager at Wesley Chapel Kia both states that the adaptive cruise could be turned off in favor or “normal” cruise. NOPE! Also went to Jenkins Kia and spoke with a service tech, he had no clue. The “product trainer” that the manager spoke with gave him the instructions for the 2019-2022 Tellurides. So buyers beware!! No, you do not have regular cruise control.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Yeah, unfortunately no way to turn off the Smart Cruise Control.. closest you could get would be to set it up with a smallest possible distance between you and the car in front of you. Previous models had a way to make the switch so it's odd Kia didn't follow that through to 2023. Thanks for pointing this out though for people who are looking for trying to switch to traditional cruise

[@jandeknatel4770]

You can switch between smart and conventional cruise control by pressing the distance car button for 3 seconds.

[@jerryworkman-ty8pq]

Kia EX do one with that model.

[@CarsWithSteve]

It's on the list when one shows up on the lot!

[@wileycoyote19]

We have a Sapphire Blue EX and LOVE it! 45-47MPG not AWD. Your vids are very well done! Only negative point about this Kia is they offer LED lighting at various points. But then cheapened out for turn signal and corner brake lights!!! Interior lights are not a deal breaker, but come on Kia. Maybe Kia will offer some downloads/upgrades soon to offer dash upgrades like or similar to higher trim levels??

[@wileycoyote19]

jerryworkman send me a pm and I'll tell you anything you want to know about the EX trim?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Wow pretty great mileage there. Wonder if many other people are thinking that with the lights on the Sportage too. Ah if only someone from Kia reads online comments

[@reemka8414]

I noticed that if you keep the lights on the auto setting, it will not turn on the day time lights

[@CarsWithSteve]

Oh interesting.. I'll have to check that out next time I'm in a Sportage. If it's night that would totally make sense but the day lamps should come on otherwise

[@reemka8414]

@@CarsWithSteve Yeah so I'll have to turn it on every time I enter and switch to regular lights when it's sunset

[@loriblessner9663]

I use the auto setting and my DLR’s are on.
