The 2024 KIA Sportage EX - The Trim Level to Get!

[@ofcbob6391]

The 2.5 normally aspirated engine (no turbo to go bad) has both port -and- direct fuel injection, so no worries about keeping the back of the intake valves clean while enjoying the 10 years or 100K miles drivetrain warranty.

[@jasonkirkland1304]

The only issue is that in Alberta here the Kia dealerships LOVE to offer "extras" that you to purchase even if you factory order and charge you $3000 + for items that you could get for $500.

[@tsewangnamgyal1708]

Hi, Thanks for the demonstration. Really nice. I am planning to buy Kia Sportage EX trim. Do you girls have Wolf Grey color in this trim, or any other trim? I am crazy about this colour actually. Thanks

[@Levelupinspiration]

Amazing video!! 👏🏼 Yes, please do a video on the digital assistant!

[@kandywilson827]

Is there a button on the dash to turn on the heated windshield? I think you mentioned doing it remotely but didn't see a button. Thank you.

[@BrantfordKia]

Yes there is! It is located on the climate control panel. I realize we didn’t point it out in today’s video. The icon is very similar to the rear windshield defrost icon.

[@Yubuzka3774]

Thanks Gabi and Charlotte 😎.

[@freak66969]

Hey ladies, a couple weeks ago you said an ev9 was in transit to you. Any idea when you’ll have it and when you’ll be shooting a video on it?

[@BrantfordKia]

In the next week or so! We will be filming it as soon as it arrives!

[@WigRealtor]

Is all the features your showing in all ex models

[@jamiesmith8307]

I have the ex premium and you can't turn on the heated window with the app. If you can please let me know how?

[@notmissingout9369]

In the UK they are called gt line

[@jeremycontrerasp]

What’s the model of the grey one near Charlotte?

[@jemsdiorlopez4627]

I would've have considered this trim instead of a sunroof a 360 camera would be much better. And I need that 360 camera on this trim and not with the other trims!

[@louangel5352]

Do the otside mippors fold in automatically

[@BrantfordKia]

They do not

[@sooge4014]

What would do? I have a 2023 Sportage EX Premium that is sitting in my garage waiting for a part that will be 12 weeks to manufacture and deliver to my dealer. Car was found to have rust and water damage to the fuse box and wiring harness area. My Kia has less than 3000 kms. Under warranty but cost to repair in the thousands of dollars. Would you trust this vehicle going forward? I sure don't. Paid $45,000 taxes in. Would like your thoughts.

[@realitybites8558]

Now if only Kia and Hyundai would get rid of all the piano black trim! And why can't they make all the switches the same finish (and not piano black)?

[@MukisaSS]

That will easily drive the cost up.

[@realitybites8558]

No it won't - the piano black is all plastic parts, can be other colors and textures without changing cost one dime!@@MukisaSS

[@bobdavis3357]

Thumbs up, always

[@BrantfordKia]

We appreciate you!!! 😎

[@ianhillman4007]

Does this model have a rear door power lift?

[@BrantfordKia]

In Canada the smart power lift starts on the EX Premium trim which is one level up!

[@mahmoodsoleja9068]

Wonderful ! 🌟

[@stevemay9749]

It's so nice around here (Southern Manitoba Canada) today that I lost track of time outside and missed this live.

[@marycarmeltalampas9411]

I’m finding it hard to find a 2024 Kia Sportage EX trim that has a sunroof here in Michigan. Is there only a certain location or country that has it? If you could please help me out.

[@BrantfordKia]

Our dealership is located in Ontario, Canada so we only film and received Canadian spec models. I believe the EX in the US is equipped without a sunroof

[@ATRichard]

EX gas model in the U.S. is missing several features that the Canadian model gets (heated windshield, heated steering wheel, pano sunroof, etc.). You have to get the EX hybrid in the U.S. to have the option of a sunroof in the Premium package. Higher Sportage trim levels in the U.S. get adaptive cruise and the heated steering wheel.

[@Dbabatch68]

Good morning Gabby, Mike & Tim, I leave in Montreal Quebec I have been watching multiple video of different véhicule of Hyundai / Kia Was looking at 2024 Sportage Hybrid EX or with bell and whistle ( sunroof etc..) Do I need to get car inspected when arrived in Quebec ? Price taxes included ? Also if the guaranteed will valid in Quebec ! Olivier

[@AC-jm8co]

How is the visibility and seat adjustability for short drivers? I’m interested in this vehicle but I’m only 5’ tall!

[@BrantfordKia]

Charlotte and I are both in the 5’3 - 5’4 range! We think it’s certainly shorter driver friendly! - However I’d definitely recommend test driving the vehicle to make sure you feel comfortable behind the wheel.

[@AC-jm8co]

@@BrantfordKiaThank you!

[@diegogaray1853]

Gabi 😘😍

[@moeshamarri1036]

How tall are yall?

[@KSC268]

Can anyone answer does Kia sportage ex trim level had the feature of heated steering wheel ??

[@RIB1228]

I have the 2024 shortage EX and it does not have heated steering wheel

[@colestock9980]

In canada it starts at the X-Line which is 2 up from the base

[@Vickysojkova]

i hope my dad gets this car

[@WigRealtor]

How much should one pay for this out the door

[@cabinaphoto7452]

This is in Canada? In Europe Sportage is a totally s different car - it's shorter, has a 1.6 tgdi engine, the 2.5 does not exist, the sunroof is only in the top gt trim, the transmission is a double clutch not t converter, the seats are different, the materials.and also while in your mid trim you have top features, you have the low budget cluster dash, which here is only in the starter trim.also way cheaper in NA than Europe.

[@macsdf1]

just got mine, hybrid tho.

[@BrantfordKia]

Awesome!

[@Quator27]

Kia Sportage un gran coche espero que de mucha guerra este coche coreano

[@sandrapena2114]

Gabi ❤ 😅

[@vsboxing]

Are they still being stolen??

[@BrantfordKia]

This has never been a problem in Canada - all vehicles are equipped with anti theft immobilizes.

[@antoinehouston637]

And the normal ex doesn't come with a panoramic sunroof

[@BrantfordKia]

Hi, no lies here! this is the Canadian model EX. Our cars are typically equipped differently

[@StacyBaker-sx6bn]

They are pronouncing it wrong. I’m looking at one now

[@BrantfordKia]

Are you in the states?

[@StacyBaker-sx6bn]

Do they have the immobilzer

[@StacyBaker-sx6bn]

Im glad I’m looking in the states a lot more in Canada.

[@BrantfordKia]

Yes, here in Canada immobilizers have been standard since 2007.

[@imdone1967]

100,000 kias are recalled, this is one of them... Great quality...lmao😂

[@BrantfordKia]

And Toyota currently has 34 Open recalls for just their 2022-2023 vehicle models alone, yet they are hailed for their reliability. The reality is, recalls happen when manufacturers discover something that needs fixing to ensure safety. It shows that the manufacturer is proactive about fixing any potential problems, prioritizing everyone's safety on the road.

[@imdone1967]

@@BrantfordKia nice deflection.. Still doesn't take away from Kias QC issues.

[@imdone1967]

@BrantfordKia Federal safety regulators published the recall Monday after the safety issues were reported to NHTSA. Vehicles' roof molding can become loose or detach while driving, which may have been a result of improper installation during vehicle assembly. Yeah , makes me want to run out and get a kia!

[@antoinehouston637]

Ok. You need to tell the truth about what model you have. Cause I'm looking at the same model and it doesn't have the radar cruise control plate. So that's not thee normal ex

[@BrantfordKia]

Hi! It can depend on what country you are in. Depending on your location, vehicles can have different features. We’re based in Canada and are showing the Canadian Ex.

[@royhi1809]

AND NO CRAPPY CVT!

It is washed😳

[@IntrepidRobot]

SX Trim is better!

[@darla6681]

The Kia SPOR TAGE'? Is this a joke? This is the most annoying video to sell a car, or anything for that matter. Moving on.

[@BrantfordKia]

Sportage is how it’s pronounced here in Canada (and just about anywhere outside of the US). Anyway, bye!

[@Dzynerr]

Get a better camera. It's 2024 right around the corner.

[@BrantfordKia]

Hi, Our camera is fine. The quality issue has to do with the fact that these are livestreams and fibre internet is not available in our area.

[@chrisfabre23]

They've said multiple times that it's their internet connection that causes issues. And, if you would actually pay attention to when the issues actually do come up, you'd notice that the lagging, stuttering, freezing, and sudden drops in video resolution are all symptoms of a weak internet connection as opposed to the recording equipment suddenly deciding spontaneously to flex back and forth. (Hint: that's not how video recording works.)

[@Wayneman50]

This is such BS. Tell it like it is. In the USA, NO EX model comes with Adaptive cruise control. Not even as a add on. This is a HUGE KIA mistake. Adaptive cruise control should be offered on EVERY model. It is a safety standard and KIA is doing it's customers wrong by trying to force them to spend almost $4,000 more on a high end model just to get what should be a standard safety feature. SHAME ON YOU KIA....

To cover black piano just need to put carbon like luxury car ?
