Between the Santa Fe Calligraphy AWD and the Sorento SX-Prestige AWD, which one has a quieter and smoother ride? Also, for highway cruising, is the hybrid noticeably quieter and smoother compared to the 2.5T trims?
Just purchased my X line SX Prestige today. Was looking for a midsize SUV. Looked at the Mercedes GLC and BMW X3 and ride wise, comfort and tech they didn't come close to the Kia. Just a great smooth ride.
Just received mine a few days ago, we ordered the 2022 PHEV and ended up with a 2023, it took a few months over a year for delivery. Has the heads up display in Canada.
Go to any Kia dealership except this one, notice when they show the window sticker, they’ve marked it up an additional $5500 over sticker for a market adjustment. Why they think they could justify a market adjustment in December is beyond me.
I have been shopping for one of these for weeks and upon my research(across the us) I have seen only 3-4 dealerships that have markups. And I have literally been looking EVERYWHERE
I went and saw this model today it was marked 45 and he said it was gonna be more than the sticker. He also said would be better to buy than lease bc lease now are 50%
Great video! Top model and doesn’t have wireless Apple CarPlay? Or heads up display. That’s crazy!!!! Can you do a review on the 2023 Honda CRV touring?
Great review! Very thorough. The dealer mark-ups are insane right now. Soon as all that nonsense levels off, I'll be getting one... thanks for this review!
Nice video ..but lot of features u didn't cover that most salesman don't know. Thought I'd tell you. For one with the dynamic display ..the weather changes on the screen throughout the day. But you'd have to do the update for it. There's s few others.
Yes you’re right definitely will try it out next time. Trying to keep my videos a little shorter and cover the more important aspects stay tuned for more coming soon
Unfortunately the one in the video sold like 4 days after the video. I haven’t seen one in a minute use the Kia.USA website to help find one in that color combo.
you definitely seem like you enjoy driving it. so that turbo is fast yea? how would you say this compares to a palisade and/or telluride. i know its smaller, but what you think? Im looking at saving $5-8k so....
@@chrismac2298 Thank you. Enjoyed the review and appreciate your input. One more question. this turbo compared to the hybrid, what do you think? is the hybrid fast? I much more prefer the styling of this sx-p x line, but in terms of gas its a big difference, though not a deal breaker at all for me....
@@RC94332 Haven’t had much experience with the hybrid but it’s probably slightly slower that this 2.5 Turbo. The hybrid gets 34 mpg combined versus the 2.5T rated at 24 mpg.
I am considering of getting one of these. However, I am pretty anxious because I've read that KIA cars tend to catch on fire. The specs on this car are too good.
Dude you contradicted yourself and lied you say you couldn't see out the windshield that way over then all of a sudden you say you see over the hood. 🤔
Shoutout to Chris B. the sales manager at Kia of Waldorf, MD definitely recommend this dealership!!!
Wish he was closer to White marsh then I’d come to him.
No price marks up?

Just orderd one in Black, looking foward for it to come
Very interested in this vehicle! Alot of bling for not the high end luxury price
Excellent review of the 2023 Kia!

Thanks, 2023 Crv Touring video is coming this week stay tuned

No problem I’m in the same camp I hate markups on these cars too
Great honest video 👍
Thanks for this helpful video! I just bought one of these last night.
No problem congrats on the purchase

Great video I'm in market looking for 1 now.
I cannot find this exact car anywhere. We want the wolf gray with rust interior. Do you have one?

@@chrismac2298 I had to order one. My wife is very excited!
@@jswallet how long it takes to get one when you order ?
Im at the dealership now buying mine the same way you described
@@Dinizfamily mine is waiting for me in the dealership
Is there Ambient lighting interior ?
I didn’t see any in the screen I know the Telluride definitely has it

Yes it’s very quick honestly has most of the features needed for a loaded SUV. Definitely can’t go wrong getting this plus save money in the process.

A beast 🔥
Nice job on the video!
Thanks
any chance to test a palisade calligraphy since you work at Hyundai?
Definitely looking to review one soon most have been pre-sold before arrival
I’m IN 🙏🙏🙏
Great review. You would think at this price point, these manufacturers would do wireless CarPlay and Android.
Agreed I’ve been saying that in my last review I’m hoping for the next generation
Beautiful car and great video!
Thanks
Yeah you right with the mid range. If you drop a few gears on this thing and punch it… the thing moves out lmao
Going to check a few units. 408,507,509. I'm sure there all fine. Just to report in to to Steve n Roger
I am seeing a lot of movement in the driving section, bad roads? I hope :)
Yeah bad roads and movement from me
@@chrismac2298 thank you for that!!
Does it have Apple car play and heads up
I does have Apple CarPlay I didn’t see the head up display in this model
"Not today Officer". LMAO
He still didn’t get me 😂 lol

I realize good maintenance can help avoid some of those issues. Highly recommend trying it out in person!!!
Does it have apple car play or android auto?
Yes I have a time stamp on the description
@@chrismac2298 ❤
I wanna know how reliable is this Kia
Tbh I’m not sure the 2.5T came out a few years ago so once they get close to the 100k mark we’ll see
You have to order one there's no iventory right now.
Is this still available? I would like to buy
Yes it’s still available at Kia Waldorf, Maryland for $48,990

its a honda electronics Junk
I love my 23 Sorento and nothing personal but that face diaper has got to go.
🤣🤣🤣 I kinda see it now
Kia bad cars!
As someone who works with Hyundai/ Kias in service it honestly depends on how your maintenance is and certain models.
