always hammering and pushing every car you review to the limits.. love it!.. i'm seriously considering this vehicle soon as i'll need more room to haul stuff. Great review as always, Charlie!.. Keep'em comin!
I am picking up my Sportage on Monday. A 2019 red lx with 7000kms. It was a sales managers demo vehicle. I traded my Nissan Rogue 2019. The sportage handles so much better them the rogue. Your video helped me to make this decision. Thank You
Congratulations on your new Kia Sportage. Hope you have many happy miles with her. I am happy to be helpful. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
One of the best car reviewers on UA-cam easily and I check a lot of reviewers. I like how you really drive the cars to it’s limits, the driving part should be number 1.
Great video, and awesome updates by Kia. We have a 2017 Sportage fleet car and even though it’s just a gasoline 1.6 manual, it is VERY well equipped. I am impressed with the refinement every time I drive it, both in urban areas and on the highway. Lane-keep assist, safety systems, electronic everything, CarPlay, and the one that pisses off execs driving mid-spec German cars (I live in Germany): HEATED STEERING WHEEL. For some reason it’s not standard on MB/Audi/BMW, but our Kia came with it!!
Hello from U.S. This is a good review. Your english is excellent. My father-in-law just bought a 2019 Kia. It is very nice. I am very impressed. The price was excellent.
I'm not sure about other countries, but in the US for 2020 the Sportage has a better looking front end with front wheel drive than the front end with All Wheel Drive. I understand it is because of the front end approach for the AWD. These cars, like most in the US will not see off road driving. Just my opinion.
Yes, Barry. thank you for your opinion. AWD systems used to be only good for off roading. But recent AWD systems really do have great affect on stability and even handling. So, i would be glad to have it as an option for my own SUV. thank you.
Yes, 2.0T is plenty powerful for this Kia Sportage. Thank you Anderson. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing to our channel. Thank you.
Love the look of this kia sportage great front end too, getting one of these in a couple of years because my kids be too tall for the back of my mustang i have in a couple of years so this kia looks like my first choice of suv 👌👌👍 good review
Good review. Could you talk more about how it drives and how it rides? Is it quiet on the hwy? How’s does it compare to the Tuscan and which one would you choose? Thanks
It drives very well. Cabin is nicely isolated even better than VW Tiguan. Handling wise Tucson is better i think. Sportage is a bit more soft. I would choose Tucson just because i like design better. Thank you.
I took delivery of mine 3 weeks ago. I have the level 2. Inside is very roomy and extremely comfortable as driver or passenger. The drive is very smooth and quiet. Holds well on the road when wet. The media system is excellent as is the sat nav. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this car to anyone. Excellent quality which of course has the standard KIA 7 year guarantee
@Doug Brown much better than my previous 4x4 Jeep Renegade 2016... I got the 2.4L in Pacific blue also. The metal flake is sexy deep in the blue too. So far, great vehicle.
@@AsianPetrolhead sure...personal preference. I can see the advantages of having it higher on the dash so your eyes dont veer too much off the road. It looks good on BMWs too. Great vid
UPDATE: The Chicago Auto Show debut the 2020 Kia Sportage for the North America. This model will have the updated interior and exterior you showed in this video. I knew Kia Sportage sells wasn't that good for 2018 in North America, so I figured they would not make changes until they moved some of those 2018 and 2019 models off the dealer's lots. It's actually a smart move because the dealer can sell you a 2018 model by showing the 2019 model didn't have any interior or exterior changes and then they could offer you a great deal on the 2018. We well get the 2020 Kia Sportage as a mid season upgrade this summer. I love the improvements of the 2019 Kia Sportage, especially the front grill and Porsche like daytime LED lights. I want one, however I'm wondering why these updates didn't make it to North America. I notice the updates in Korea, Australia and United Kingdom but not in North America. Canada and the United States are carrying over the 2018 model year with no changes for 2019. I'm wondering why we didn't get the updates for 2019. You're very knowledgeable do you have an answer why? Please advise.
Quntico thank you so much for your kind support. I think they are working to bring the facelift to North American markets. As of now, i do not have answer for you. But i will ask Kia representative next time. Hope they do bring the bold soon, because it does look much more mature. Thank you.
The 'dual exhaust' on this model is fake, you can tell by the way they're integrated in the rear bumper. Only the 2L diesel Gt Line has actual exhaust tips hanging from the muffler, same for gasoline
I like the 4th gen design. Even tho it kinda look like a toad in the front. Only Con that i found on 4th gen sportage is the boot space. Down sizing from 564liters to 491 is quite much as a great dane owner.
I used to use a 2017 sportage and those things are really fast however for USA market I wound not buy with all those speed limit everywhere.... anywhere else it’s a blast to drive
Thank you so much for your inspiration and subscription. We are just getting started, so please share our content and channel with your friends. Thank you and have a great day!

Faster than Tuscon, and looks much better, as it has for years..and the cockpit is more driver-centric...without a floating screen, as the new Tuscon now has.We have no diesels here in US, and the turbo GDIs are standard.
@@AsianPetrolhead I love Hyundai /Kia autos. Their reliability and evolution into the 3rd biggest auto group is exceptional. Just within the past 10 years, like many things Korean, the new N performance line, and Genesis luxury segments, are on par with Japanese heavyweights like Honda and Toyota. But, for the income restricted, like me, I am very happy to see affordable hatches, or small CUV's like the Soul, that have a long term reliable car that I have access to and another choice that matches with the best of Japan.
Diesels are not prevelant, but are available usually in European models...but after VW Group's Dieselgate...their marketing of fuel efficient TDIs,etc. was a bust here. Although. I did hear of Hyundai/Kia creating an engine that uses a new mixture of gas and diesel..!! I haven't heard anymore , but the Kona EV, is a great product.
This could become KIA’s best selling car if they could get the miles per gallon up, include surround view like the Optima. Sorento, and Cadenza, and put money into advertising. I’ve driven the 2.0 turbo and it’s very fast. It’s also one of the least reliable KIA according to Consumer Reports here in the U.S..
well, this sucks. Korea has an 8 speed automatic transmission while USA goes back to a 6 speed because well....it works(and its better than the CVT). I understand that we may not sell as many to recoup the costs, but come on. KIA already makes the dang parts.
Well, it's diesel so it's very efficient. And let me give you the official. This Kia Sportage will return about 29.1mpg with 2.0D AWD with 19inch rims. So, it's pretty good. Thanks Ted. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
I have purchased this model Oct 2018 and found that the car seat heating system is slowly destroying the leather seat. After three weeks I returned the car and had both front seats replaced. After two weeks the new ones were just as bad The seat base goes all soggy and sunken. I would not buy another one.
@@AsianPetrolhead please, may I ask you about how to use properly the automatic transmission ? Should I use it in "N" position when I stop in a light signal or heavy traffic jam, please? Will it damage it ? Thanks in advanced
Maybe government regulations and laws maybe? Or it could be they want to keep the price competitive in Mexico. Thanks for Lino for tuning in all the way from Mexico.

I like all your reviews. Would you pick the Sportage over the SsangYong Korando? Sportage with a 2.0L diesel and the Korando with a 1.6L diesel.
Well, it is hard to say, because one chooses a car from design, power, effieicency and pricing, so i can't really talk for you. thanks David.

Congratulations Jay on your new car. Have a safe and fun time with your new car!
Asian Petrolhead Thank you! I got it earlier than expected and it's so fun to drive! I used to drive a Honda Accord so I'm still getting used to it.
Nice review Charlie! I would definitely buy the 2L with the 8 speed. I love that power!
Yes, i am do love the power from 2 liter diesel and plus mpg is not the far off compared to 1.6L diesel. So i would choose 2.0 diesel myself.
I had a 2.0 petrol about a year now. Happy with it although is not most powerful engine around.
Yes, 2.0T is plenty powerful for this Kia Sportage. Thank you Anderson. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing to our channel. Thank you.

@Doug Brown much better than my previous 4x4 Jeep Renegade 2016... I got the 2.4L in Pacific blue also. The metal flake is sexy deep in the blue too. So far, great vehicle.
Hey man, if you would buy something, would you get this over the tucson?
Well, i personally like the design of Tucson. But very similar car.
The Nav screen @ 4:06 looks better as an embedded unit, more cohesive vs most of the other automakers who have it sit on top of the dashboard, imo..
I prefer the floating navigation, but i must agree with you that the embedded unit on this Sportage is both clean and easy to read. Thank you
@@AsianPetrolhead sure...personal preference. I can see the advantages of having it higher on the dash so your eyes dont veer too much off the road. It looks good on BMWs too. Great vid

Well. Smalls changes makes car look more mature. Thanks Charles.
Front design is more aggressive, I like.
Yes, indeed, few changes made a big difference!
The 2.0 turbo petrol is the fastest among the 3 engine choices right?
Well. I have not tried 2.0t yet but 2.0d is faster than 1.6d. I have to get back to you after drivinh 2.0t. Thank you.
Which is better,sportge or tucson?

Yes Hyundai and Kia came a long way. I hope they can do better with Genesis. So we can see more upscale and efficient cars. Thank you.
9.4 to 100 km/hr (about 60 mph) is slower than I expected for a 2.0L turbo and a smaller vehicle.
I know right? I thought it would be faster. But i guess they had to think about efficiency as well.
That was a diesel pretty sure the 2l gas will be faster
