You’re right about the wipers but compared to the base 6-Speaker system in the Rav-4 these speakers aren’t even close IMO. The Rav 4 actually has somewhat decent Bass. Maybe Bass was turned off in this Sportage but that’d be the only explanation lol
@@WTFCRLT1 I traded in my rav4 with this car. First thing I did was play with the equalizer. I listen to edm and heavy bass music and it’s sounds decent to me specially on higher volume. I have another Hyundai car with the upgraded sound system and it may not compare to it but I wouldn’t say it’s awful 🤷🏽. Just my opinion.
We’re looking into getting this one. Test drove it today and it’s pretty good. Obviously didn’t show much interest to the dealership sales man lol. But vs the rav4 we’re leaning towards this
@@nostalgictamizhan2 idk how you use or drive your car but mine’s fine. It doesn’t eat up my gas, the safety tech is nice. The a/c and heater works great. Maybe it’s just not a good car for you but it’s okay for me lol.
Please clean your camera lens :( I noticed this in your Forte GT video too. The video came out "foggy". Mostly when there is a bright background Very pronounced in the Forte GT video at 2:04 and during this video at around 12:00 when looking at the interior.
Thanks for the comment I’ve been noticing it as well. Are there any cleaning supplies I should buy? I currently wipe the lenses off with the wipes I use for my sunglasses however some days are extremely humid and I’ll really need to start wiping it off a second time before stepping inside because as you said that’s when it gets the worst. I have one more video to post of the 2022 Santa Fe and then everything will be wiped down several times throughout the new upcoming reviews!
@@WTFCRLT1 I use MagicFiber microfiber cloths. You should change your cleaning cloth every so often since they get dirty too. So that’s probably why the lens is still dirty If you hold the lens at an angle to a light you can see if the lens is fully clean or if there are streaks and dust left
@@WTFCRLT1 oh, it will be some time before I get a new ride lol. But the Sportage is my top choice when I start shopping. I really like my 2019 Optima, and especially the standard safety features for the LX. I noticed Hyundai and Kia stripped the base models from blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic beginning with the 2021 MY vehicles.
I have a 2020 Kia Optima and I love that car. Just paid it off but Kia keeps tempting me with this new sportage. Trying to make smart financial decisions.
Great review bro! We just ordered our SX Prestige Hybrid in matte gray with carmine interior from Galeana here in Fort Myers! This thing is fire tho! 🤙🏽
Why doesnt this vehicle have the michellen tires....it's part of the x line package....dealership swapping tires and ripping people off. X line is 19in rim and 235/55/19 michelline tires.
@@fariedzayn5024 the sportage use to have the 2.0T in the previous generation they got the 1.6t from the Tucson but it had a bunch of issues in the previous Tucson so i guess that’s why they decided to not put it in every trim
My friend has a 2021 Kia Soul and her wife has a 2021 Kia Seltos. The engine blew up on both of them within two weeks of each other with less than 20,000 miles. I can’t believe this company is still in business, and it makes me sad how many people they’re sucking into buying these pieces of crap.
@@seanpark3106 Yes it was covered under warranty but it’s still unacceptable. And it’ll just happen again. It’s taking 8 weeks for the repairs for each.
I have 2016 in the shop getting repaired now for a completely failed catalytic converter and I'm only at 89k miles. they ended up fixing it under a "good will" repair tho so luckily I didn't have to pay a anything. however, this fall I'm definitely getting rid of it, little worried to hold on to it much longer at this point. not even at 100k miles and I'm already having paint chipping badly everywhere, rubber around 2 of the doors is constantly falling off, outside rubber area on the windows deteriorating, and 3 of the windows occasionally get stuck when rolling down now. it's fucking lovely! im very hesitant to purchase another kia, by far the fastest car I've EVER had breakdown and begin go down hill so quickly
Thanks for watching! Hit that subscribe button if you’re new and stay tuned for tomorrow’s review of the all new 2022 Nissan Titan Pro-4X!
SX prestige model with rain sensing wipers and 2 curved screens
can you change what dash looks like?? like digital to analogp
There’s an automatic rain sensing wipers. I know because I just bought one myself. Same model. The speakers are actually decent. Better than Toyota.

@@joshuam8444 Xline awd is 43k usd on road. Expensive for gasoline. At the same time poor quality car. My ac blow out after a week.

Really nice video. This generation has an aggressive design that I personally loved! 😍🇧🇷

Great review !
Can’t wait for your review Sx prestige and hybrid later this year review
Thank you I’ll try getting the other trims reviewed ASAP!
I reeeally like this all new Sportage! I’m still a sedan guy (2019 Kia Optima) but this Sportage is high on the list!
It’s a really nice SUV man wish you luck!

Doesn't matter how cool you try to make an suv its still a soccer mom car at the end of the day.

@@jennaduvall2060 congratulations! Yes, it’s tough! The 2019/2020 Optima is a great value. Maybe hold onto it for another couple years..?
Purchase this same vehicle! Love it!
Nice thorough review
Thanks Mark! 👍🏼
Great review bro! We just ordered our SX Prestige Hybrid in matte gray with carmine interior from Galeana here in Fort Myers! This thing is fire tho! 🤙🏽
Thanks Sean!! Sounds like a really nice suv wish you luck!! 👍🏼
Great demonstration, does this vehicle have a locking differential?
Does this car have blind spot assistance? By directional
If they would've nudged this over the 200HP mark, it would be absolutely unrivaled in its segment. Take a risk!
Does the 2023 sportage have transmission problems?
I live in cocoa Florida and the dealers here just really don’t want to work and putting $7,000 more to the price. I’m gonna call Lakeland
Have one and the downside is that it doesn't have fog lights. Just don't understand why they didn't one on these trims.
I would have to go with the hybrid for the extra power and luxury of range.
Agreed!
Did it have automatic start stop feature?
Yes it does. Just test drove one today
Why doesnt this vehicle have the michellen tires....it's part of the x line package....dealership swapping tires and ripping people off.
X line is 19in rim and 235/55/19 michelline tires.
Just got this car yesterday, I thought the speakers were from Harman Kardon. I guess not.
Depends on your trim level. My SX Prestige has Harmon Kardon
why didnt they use 1,6T instead???
It’s in the hybrid
@@keyshawnrussell245 it would be nice if they did it in every trim
@@fariedzayn5024 the sportage use to have the 2.0T in the previous generation they got the 1.6t from the Tucson but it had a bunch of issues in the previous Tucson so i guess that’s why they decided to not put it in every trim
What's up with the hazy video? Really looks crappy. 🤷♂️
4th sportage usa review 🎉
Haha got really lucky getting my hands on one so early!
A panoramic moonroof that only opens up 1/3 the way. What was the point? 🤷♂️🤦♂️.

Let's say that's true... there's something called a warranty
