I love it! I think you just showed me my new car. I have a 2020 Honda CR-V, and I'm looking forward to the lease expiration next year. I was loyal to Honda for over 12 years, but they're really falling behind. Love the Sportage HEV! Thanks for the review.
UA-cam suggested your video and from seeing various other similar youtubers you bring a fresh air !!!!! The information is well executed and very entertaining thank you
Hi! I love all your tours! Very helpful! Currently looking at the Kia Sorento for my family or the palisade! But I’m loving the body of the sorento! I also love how you tell us your height and how it looks when you are sitting in the back seat, my husband is 6ft and leg space is a big deal for us!
Most likely my next car. To me this is the perfect size for my needs. It's big enough to give rear passengers leg room. It's not so big that it drives awkwardly and is hard to park.
"Review cars for moms and families." What about us dads?? What about the moms that golf? Can you fit a set of golf clubs in the back? How many kids hockey bags? Amazon boxes? Spread the love!! Seriously, I subscribed to this channel after your 22 Palisade review which I thought was very thorough, had a quirky funny vibe and covered the features well. Blow up your channel with multi-dimensional vs one dimensional audience views. My two-cents. Good luck and looking forward to seeing your channel take off!
Surprising to know that your EX hybrid also has the Panaromic sunroof and the Birds eye view surround camera. Did you add them as options? I thought they are only at the top SX Prestige.
I wanted a Buick Encore because of it's size but now I'm really wanting the new Kia Sportage especially this model and color. I'm currently driving a 2010 Camry now that I'm a mom who has to carry a car seat & a stroller the Camry is too small now.
Do you have issues with the grey seats staining with blue jeans dye? If so how do get the stains out of the seat and how do you protect it so it doesn't happen again? Btw I have this car on order
There are no new kias on our lots up here in Seattle. They're all online. When buying online can you negotiate the price or is the price listed online the price you pay period?
Love it! I’m dying to see the Sorento plug-in. Base trim has leather ish seats on Kia’s? I can’t quite tell what syntex leather is. Allllso, call me strange, but after watching my son trip over the little bump in the center floor of the back seat, I’m always trying to see if it’s flat in a compact SUV or only in midsize and up. Thank you for your tours! Love them.
"Doesn't suck!" Never have I heard such a resounding endorsement! Ha ha! Good review. Thanks for sharing. I've been looking at this myself & in this color combo. One question: Does it have WIRELESS Android Auto/Apple Carplay?
I was building an EX on the US Kia website and it showed that the panoramic sunroof was not standard but was an optional add-on as part of the $1,500 package. What's going on?
Good interior, awesome features, and up to date tech. According to reddit forums, risky engine and transmission. Apparently the 2.4L 4 cylinder engines used in KIA and Hyundai models are not all that reliable. 50/50 really. I am going to wait for the 2023 Toyota RAV4 or Venza. Thanks for the review!
I'm sure they are basing that off of the (voluntary, tiny points to them) Product Improvement engine "recall" that Kia had to do a while back. Covered many model years. It's my understanding that the 2023's engine is essentially completely different from the affected ones. I guess you could knock them for having a serious/somewhat widespread recall at all, but I'm not sure you'd have a manufacturer left at the end by those standards. Disclosure, we own one and love it so far (obviously haven't had it for too long yet c: )
@@Dr.Spintronics LOL that's even worse! A direct injection turbo engine that keeps turning on and off all the time? Its gonna be murder on carbon buildup and wear and tear.
@@SirEclectic so I reached out to like 6-7 different dealers within like 4 hours of me, asking if they had any incoming ones and if they had market adjustments. And finally found one that said they didn’t have any that weren’t claimed but they’d order me one at MSRP, all I had to do was put a card on file so they could charge a refundable deposit when it came in, and then I can go look at it and decide if I actually want it or not. All in all, easy so far!
This seems like the perfect car except for the FIRE risk. Seems like Kia continues to have issues with their cars catching on fire even in 2022! So disappointing. Was ready to buy one of these but don’t think I can take the chance with two kids riding in the back seat.
You are one funny lady. You did a video of the Kia Sportage in a car show and you hated the front of the car. Now you do another video saying you love the front end. Make up your mind.
Kia Sorrento PHEV tour. Would love to see it!
You’re so helpful -watching alot of your tours now to help decide what to buy.
I love it! I think you just showed me my new car. I have a 2020 Honda CR-V, and I'm looking forward to the lease expiration next year. I was loyal to Honda for over 12 years, but they're really falling behind. Love the Sportage HEV! Thanks for the review.
I hear you. On the same boat. I'm on a 2016 CR-V and not too impressed with the new one.
Hey! Love the vid. The EX does NOT come with the moonroof/sunroof however. For that, you have to option in the EX Premium Package.

I just picked up my new sorento last weekend! My hubby is 6’9 and he fits!
Omg that is so good to know!!! Thanks!
The navy leather!!! 😍 Also, that dash looks like my friend’s Mercedes’ for way less!
the radio is pretty slick with the old school vacuum tubes design
This is definitely in the running for my next car.
The color is Vesta Blue right?

My husband brought his golf clubs when we went to test drive cars. We were surprised how much of a difference there was.
I’m pretty sure dads are included as part of families 😂
@@bonerslayer these days...are you sure??
omg hear me out: this navy color interior with a nuna carseat in ocean 😍 these are the things that excite me these days

EX has an option for EX Premium Package.
Does anyone know if the navy blue interior shown here is coming to Canada?
It is really nice to see something other than boring black interiors in a vehicle like this.
Navy Blue interior is not available for Canada.
Love car mom's all stars!
Just got a 2023 Sportage SX Prestige edition. Totally awesome car. Also, did you drink 3 cups of coffee before this video? Lol.
exactly my thoughts lol like chill 😂
I wanted a Buick Encore because of it's size but now I'm really wanting the new Kia Sportage especially this model and color. I'm currently driving a 2010 Camry now that I'm a mom who has to carry a car seat & a stroller the Camry is too small now.
Yay! I’ve been waiting for this one!
Panoramic sunroof is a part of a package for $1500. It’s not a standard for EX.
Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. I’m tore between the Sportage and Tucson!
You and me both.
Question: I have the same car. How do you get the blue jeans stains out of the tan seats ?
I like this!! Love the color
I'm trying to find that model but with the black seats. Do you find that the lighter upholstery gets dirty easily ?
Do you have issues with the grey seats staining with blue jeans dye? If so how do get the stains out of the seat and how do you protect it so it doesn't happen again? Btw I have this car on order

If you haven’t figured it out by now yes it does lol
Can you review a jeep gladiator?
I was building an EX on the US Kia website and it showed that the panoramic sunroof was not standard but was an optional add-on as part of the $1,500 package. What's going on?
Damn girl, I really liked your review. Did you do the review on the new Niro?
The sportage 2023 hybrids have become a unicorn now. The inventory situation is just terrible.
Been trying to get this hybrid model but wait times are 9-12 months.
Does the cabin have coloured ambient lighting, similar to the Hyundai Tucson? BTW, I absolutely love the navy & light colour combination - gorgeous 😍
Only the top trim SX-Prestige has this feature
the way the stroller matched the car 🥺
I'd like to see a review of a Kia Sorento hybrid
Great review, thanks
Ordering one tomorrow 😃
Great review! Does the sunlight "wash out" the display screens at all? Thanks
I absolutely love mine! No issues with display
How different are the non hybrids? Do they have sun shades?
Im loving it!!
Can you please review the Toyota Highlander Hybrid?
How did it handle and how was the power?
I know you said that it could hold two car seats but would 3 slimfit 3lx fit ? I have three car seats an were looking at the sportage
Thumbs up! Perfect review!
Could you tour a Ford Escape phev hybrid
The panoramic roof and power liftgate is a package that adds 1500 to the price these are not a standard feature
Santa Fe PHEV please!!!
Please review the Hybrid Toyota Venza 🚙
It's so cute!!
What color is the car in this video? I want to know what the Vesta Blue looks like.
This is the vesta blue

The hybrid has 1.6L Turbo engine the gas only has 2.4L engine
@@Dr.Spintronics LOL that's even worse! A direct injection turbo engine that keeps turning on and off all the time? Its gonna be murder on carbon buildup and wear and tear.
Which color is this in EX model?
Where can I get this price, thanks
Too much coffee hahahahaha
No wireless carplay?
Would love to see Volvo XC40 Recharge full tour.
Wow nice car!! Go Kia !
Toyota Venza Hybrid please review it!!!
I still don't know why it's a "SPORTij" in the US and a "SporTAHJ" in Canada! ;)
I have this EXACT car ordered! I hope there’s not too long of a wait 😅 the dealer said 2ish months
How was the ordering process for you? Easy? More pricey than going in store?

Great review! You are awesome. Just priced out my build. Hopefully there isn’t a huge markup. 🥲
