Kia Sportage review - WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

The Kia Sportage has been reborn, and the latest model is the best iteration to date. It’s available in petrol, hybrid, plug-in and diesel forms, ensuring there’s something for everyone. When you take trim levels and the all-wheel drive model into consideration, there’s more than 20 variants to choose from. In this video Howard tests the hybrid model that comes with an awesome standard specification. It’s little wonder that Kia now has a larger market share than the likes of BMW and Mercedes. Its cars just keep getting better.

[@floydyboy7619]

1,000,000% not the crap Sportage, not even if it was free....

[@hz8711]

Car reviews + good sense of humor = i love it :D

[@aerofly2]

The car does not have the wavy foot boot opening, however you can set the boot to open automatically when you stand close to the back of the car with the key in your pocket, and the car doesn’t park itself.

[@leasingdotcom]

Good clarification - Input Co Production Team. Aerofly2 Department. - Correct it UNPARKS itself.

[@Klaudusia419]

To open the boot like that the car needs to be locked.

[@Jstars200]

Which is a lot better also. Especially when carrying heavy items. Good job Kia!

[@alexanderborg541]

I've got a sportage and I sort of hate this feature. You can't walk behind the car without it starting to beep or even opens the trunk.. I really dislike this feature, it's a big no.

[@aerofly2]

@@alexanderborg541 If you hate it so much, just turn it off in the settings!!

Great review Howard as always

[@rc666]

I like your presenting style and content. Very informative.

[@Markone99]

Loved the review, dude!

[@kylelopez9779]

if the rear belt is banging it's because it wasn't installed correctly. Normally it should be inserted in a slot and I see it's hanging in the air. And this car can not park itself.. Overall really good review.

[@slybear5947]

Great review H

[@damianleah6744]

That 3rd seatbelt clips in a slot when not in use, it stops it knocking.

[@genesis8011]

What about the diesel one? Is it noisy?

[@johndavies8170]

Man Howard is a great presenter 👍👍

[@nielskjr5432]

This is the SWB Euro version. I prefer the LWB model.

[@andysmyth44]

It doesnt have wireless CarPlay on the 12 inch screen cars regardless of any software upgrade which doesn’t exist - yet! It can be upgraded to with the lower trim 8 inch screen models - wierd I know. And as has been said already, it doesn’t have wave your foot boot opening. Research wiould be helpful before reviewing.

[@leasingdotcom]

But then we wouldn't have received your comment which helps more people see the video. :)

[@aryangautam3377]

Just one question Is it easy to steal 😂

[@mashfour]

Riverdance boot... hahaha 🤣

[@Do_Not_Buy_Kia_Look_After_UK]

Question for KIA?: Why are Sportages designed so that the rear lights do NOT come on even when it is dusk / very dull / bad light / storm + rain weather or even almost dark? Every car has it's lights on (front and rear) in these conditions but Sportages NEVER do. It is such as bad design fault

[@ThePistonPit]

Can be fixed with a software update. Ask a garage to enable it .

[@billyboy3053]

Too many gimmicks that will go wrong at some point and cause more headache in the future 😢why manufacturers are going crazy 😂

[@rhyshowells1527]

You forget one thing, ITS A KIA!

[@happyhero1093]

which means?
