I loved how they highlighted KIA's brave decision to use glass to increase visibility. I also have a car that uses glass and can heartily recommend it for visibiilty. It might be a KIA only feature though as I also have a KIA and cant be sure other manufacturers do the same thing.

I have a2011 kia sportage 2.4 and with 260000kls and have owned it from new all it has cost us is servicing, replacement tyres, a battery and brake pads. It does not leak oil and does not use oil between servicing. It still runs like it did when new and has no rattles

[@robjkrt]

i have the same model with 235000klm. I have had the same ownership experience as you. it is the most reliable new car I have ever owned. 2011, SLI, 2.4 I’m going to run it into the ground before buying a another new car.

[@Parkway808]

[@ABL973]

I had the exact same car as in this review. It was a company lease and I found it performed and handled really good. Can report it had no issues for the 3 years apart from the infotainment display going randomly blank a few times. I'd recommend a Sportage to anyone who was after a reliable, well appointed and economical daily although just be careful getting in and out as the roofline is angled low - I've whacked my head several times getting in.

I bought a used 2018 SportageEX, AWD with 19k miles. three years later with 62,000 miles, I absolutely love this car!! would buy it again..

[@borg386]

My 2011 sportage daily driver has 305k miles on it so far. It has run flawlessly for the entire time. Things repaired are the a/c once, timing belt once, brakes twice, tire inflate sensors once. The front paint is chipping, so I sport a bra. I have every luxury option available, and everything still works great. The sounds system is excellent. The seats are super comfortable. The interior is super durable and still looks great. It doesn't have the most power, but it's decent. When it permanently breaks down, I will seriously shop for another one. Thanks for the video!

With one totally failed older car (timing chain) and one currently failing (power steering leak and increasingly worse oil leak) older car thrusting me into the ridiculous current car market over the past few months, I really appreciate this channel. It's such a good approach to this topic and so helpful, especially the "what goes wrong" segments. It's really helped me to make up my mind and avoid some total lemons, and that's even with some basic mechanical knowledge and idea of car manufacturers.

We own a 2019 S premium Sportage, one of the most reliable cars we've owned. Other than a brake light and the mentioned recalls, it has never missed a beat. Averages around 7.4 L/100. It's not the most powerful thing on the road, but it's not meant to be, plots along nicely and very quiet inside.

I bought a DL Platnium diesel brand new and ran flawlessly for the 5 years I owned it (140k when traded in). It returned 7.5lt per 100km on a average. Once a month it would be driven from Lysterfield to Portland Victoria and it would use 4.2 lt per 100k. I'm 197cm short and it's one of the most conformable cars I've driven with no back pain what so ever cmpared to the Comodore, Rav4 and Hilux I had as company cars and I would have to get out and stretch after an hour of driving.

[@realvibephotography9706]

Have the 2014 2L with the GDI motor. Goes slightly better than friends QL model. Oil consumption about 2L per 15,000km but keep on top of and it's fine.

I have a 2016 Diesel GT-LIne and love it. 50K kms when I bought it and 80K now. Economical, drives well and really comfortable. Taken it off road a few times on trails and around pine plantations, heaps of fun.. The Climate control has stopped working properly but still works manually for some reason. Sun roof wouldn't shut once but it think it was because of an old battery, replaced it and no issues since but it does move slowly. I noticed the battery dying as it was a bit harder to start during winter and the trip meters reset on those occasions... Infotainment has rebooted a couple of times, comes back and works, bonus..

[@willhooke]

I have a 2020 Kia Sportage GTline petrol We love it ❤️ It has heaps of equipment and hasn't missed a beat I've owned HX Kingswood 89 Celica 02 Statesman V8 15 Mazda2 The Kia is easily the best family car I've had, and has great headlights, parking sensors, reverse camera, etc Do recommend *It is using some oil - which isn't my preference, given the Celica didn't really use much oil even with many more kms I specifically chose this over the Hyundai Tucson for four reasons: 1. Larger non turbo engine 2. Conventional auto, not DCT 3. Less conservative styling; handsome and bold 4. Longer 7 year warranty, not 5

Your sense of humour makes these videos great to watch. We have a Mazda 3 2.5 sedan on order. If we were looking for an SUV? it would be a CX5 2.5.

[@brucevandusen4873]

I sold my 2016 diesel in September for a work ute and really miss that car. I put on over 200k of mostly highway kms. I often got into the high 5 l/100km fuel economy and it was the most fun I had in car since my misplaced youth driving swapped civics. The Kiama bends were a particular delight when throttling on mid corner to get the rear to come around. Only problems were early on when a the main fuel line popped off (dealer remarked the hose clamp had probably never been tightened from the factory and they even filled the tank which was a nice surprise) and then the turbo actuator failed at around ~150k. Also went through a couple of audio units under warranty and I was very happy with the dealer support. If Kia had a commercial vehicle I would likely still be driving one.

[@donccullen]

Currently waiting for my dealer who is going to replace the aircon compressor in my 2016 Sportage 2.4l petrol. That's a disappointingly short life span for an aircon compressor, but pleasing that it will be replaced under warranty. Prior to this, not a single thing had ever gone wrong in 6 and a half years, and 90,000kms. If the Kia was stolen tomorrow, I'd look for another one exactly the same.

[@film-noirvideo]

I purchased a 2020 SX+ model used for $30K a year ago logging 10k kms to current 40k kms. A nice car to drive and reliable. Easy parking as it is actually 10cm shorter than my trade - a 2017 Cerato sedan. This model has a good suite of safety features. No issues except for intermittent exhaust noise when reversing and at low revs. Would be interested if anyone else has experienced the exhaust noise. Will have it looked at service next month.

[@russellsmith4638]

Owned a QL Platinum GT-Line model from 2016 to 2021. /did nearky 90000km without any problems. Excellent reliable car. Only problem was a faulty park brake module replaced in about 5 minutes. KIA should be proud of this model.

[@Eng.Waeel_Arif]

I have owned the car for a year and a half, I bought it in storage. All maintenance is done at the agency and on time. Honestly, a great car, 2.4 engine, all-wheel drive.. Sportage is a powerful car in its class Acceleration is excellent Stability in turns is excellent The aerodynamics are very good Brakes are very good For the price, very excellent

[@BoyRacer141]

I have a 2019 Si Premium petrol 2L (no sunroof & has mechanically adjustable drivers seat). I’m 187cm tall and have heaps of headroom. My wife, who is 157cm says the front passengers seat (no height adjustment) is set too low for her but is great for me. Standard Kumho tyres (225/55/18) are very average in the wet. Changed for Continental TC6’s in same size and much better now. The engine is a bit lacklustre in hilly terrain and gearbox loves to go from 6th to 4th when 5th is a better, and less frenetic option. Shifting manually by sliding t bar to the right fixes that. In the city it all works well enough. The only complaint, and it’s very specific to someone with large feet (size 13US) is there’s a piece of unpainted steel under the dash and above the brake pedal that catches on the toe of some shoes and makes braking tricky. Dealer said there was nothing they could do about it. In almost 4 years and 42,000km of ownership it has been faultless and drives the same as new with no rattles or squeaks.

[@liamdougan]

I have a late 2018 1.6 T-GI GT-LineS AWD in the UK, just turned 38,500 miles/62,000 km. Great car for family life and when the rear seats are folded flat, it makes for a great hauler too. I like the more raised driving position and being the exact same height as our illustrious host of ReDriven, I fit in it easily, loads of adjustment in the seat and good for bad backs! Only gripe for driving position is, my car has the panoramic sunroof and with the driver seat in the lowest position I can feel my head brush on the A/B pillar and the roof lining. Personally I really like the looks of these (biased oppinion), especially the GT-Line(S), but the 19" rims make it pretty costly to find a set of decent all-seaon tyres. I Replaced the Continental's that came with the car for Bridgestones and looking to replace them again after ~15,000 miles. I need to replace the brake discs and pads front and rear now, think they have worn excessively due to using the adaptive cruise a lot on A-Roads in Scotland. Fuel economy for me isn't great, averaging around 26/27 MPG but we live down a relatively quick B-Road then on to a dual carriageway after which is is mainly in-town driving and all-season tyres. Sometimes my inner rally driver gets the better of me and I daringly press the Sport button for slightly sharper throttle response and holding on to gears, only to see my fuel economy drop and I switch back to boring driving mode. Looking to put a warranty claim in for the Steering Wheel leather as it seems to have worn excessively and the eHandbrake switch seems to need an awful lot of force to apply, will see what the outcome of that is. All-in-all, great car and has been fairly reliable for me in the past 18 months of ownership. This is my second Sportage and maybe once I get used to the looks of the new one, may upgrade to one in the future. Happy to help with any questions anyone might have.

Great review, I have a 2019 Gt-line diesel which I chose over a Honda CR-V, and Toyota RAV4 due to it being an honest car for the price point by actually featuring full faced leather seats and more soft touch plastics and a decent quality carpet that’s not like velcro and easy to vacuum which I can’t say much for many of its rivals, yes the quality might not be immediately obvious in the sportage. Now for the negatives the seats could be more comfortable, and grip you a bit too much having to hop about in the seat to get comfortable and driving position too high (I’m 176cm) as I find the headroom lacking. It’s a nice car that’s a little more exciting that rivals but I do miss my 2007 Skoda Octavia that included features you take for granted. Oh and another thing that can go wrong on these is the clear coat can tend to fail on the boot spoiler.

[@MrHoundDoug]

I have a 2016 turbo diesel Sportage and I've been very happy with it. When I first got it a year ago I found the head rest uncomfortable compared to my previous car. It seems like Kias have the head rest pushed forward to prevent whiplash in accidents. It took a month or so to get used to it. Two irks are to do with the entertainment system. At random when you start the car it forgets if the radio was on or off and what volume was set and what station it was set to. So turns the radio on at high volume to a non-station hitting you with a loud burst of static. The other issue is it shows you an "Accept" screen along with Kia's warning to look at the road not the Android Auto / Apple Auto system while driving - every single time you start the car. Aside from that its been great with good fuel economy.

[@borg386]

Wow! I have the same problem with my 2011 sportage. I found my always having to turn off the radio completely before shutting down the car, just so I don't get blasted when turning it back on. Pretty annoying.

[@williamegler8771]

A large percentage of vehicle buyers aren't enthusiasts. When they shop for a vehicle they are more concerned about price features and warranty coverage than acceleration braking and handling. KIA fills the bill perfectly. Cheap to buy with a lot of standard equipment with a good warranty. Pretty reliable and cheap to maintain and insure. They inspire about as much passion as a new refrigerator. Just like the refrigerator that you can depend on to keep your food cold you can depend on the boring Sportage to fulfill your basic transportation needs

[@anthonyv3050]

Great video and fair assessment. I own the 2020, SX Manual (2.0 litre Petrol). I bought it new. It’s been a very reliable and fun car to drive. It is no sports car. However, there is more than adequate power to do 110 km/hour on a motorway with ease. It drives very well up hills. I recommend the manual. The weak high beam is a direction problem, I think. When on high beam, the lights point upwards a little too much.

[@journeraesri]

Hey, first of all thanks for the great review. I'm from Malaysia but I love watching these videos. They're really great and informative. Love the sarcasm too. Anyway, if possible, could you do a review on the 3rd Gen Kia Sportage SL? Just the one before the QL. I'd like to know more about them. US complaints about Kias have really soured the online perception for Kias, but anywhere else in the world seems fine, most likely due to different manufacturing locations. It'd be great for you to cover the Sportage SL too. They look great and I still see some on the road. Whatever the case, godspeed to you, mate. Have a grest day~

My daughter's Sportage 2015 engine just blew! She had it just 20 months. First signs was a complete drain of the oil after she noticed knocking sounds from the engine, I added oil and got a service. 2 months after that service, it blew with no oil in t he sump again! I was told to check the oil now and again but did not expect it to lose 5 litres in TWO Months! The thing is it did not blow smoke and there are no oil drips where she parks. Now what do we do? Kia tells me to tow it to a dealership for assessment but I know what the out come will be so far out of warranty. I'm taking to the dealership where I bought and serviced it but they will take no responsibility, a week later no news! Out of warranty and this engine, the G4NC was not one of the earlier known engines to fail but sounds like exactly the same symptoms. To repair, even with a 100k, 2nd hand engine would be around $7500! Never again will I buy a KIA!

Would not consider one of these, or the previous model, because of the position of the rear indicators; they are mounted on the rear bumper, too low to be seen properly.

Funny you say that about the headlights. I always find oncoming hilux Ute's and shortages 2 of the worst for blinding me, apparently it's for no reason in the sportage 😪

Early in the vid, spied the dealership I used to work at displayed on one of the vehicles.

Guys, can you please review a BMW 3 series G20 ? Thanks so much!

I own a 23 Sportage and it's awesome.

Adam, Nice work on your video!

I don't know which is best, but I do know one thing. NEVER buy a diesel Subaru XV crosstrek Manual! Total piece of Sht that has terrible seats which break and form holes easily, The center dash blocks your legs which causes cramps, and the diesel eats clutches for breakfast.

Feel like this should have emphasized staying away from the 2.4 model more... The problems with it were not limited to the US like they claim and there's a lawsuit underway in Australia. Stick to the Nu MPI (2.0) and R series diesels and you're good.

I use one of these for a company car they’re got awfully slow and boring but good value for what they are

Can kids see out of the side windows in the back?
