I am getting one of these on Saturday, ordering it from my local dealership, but having a hard time deciding on the SX Prestige in Sapphire Blue or the SX Prestige Hybrid in Snow Pearl White or Vesta Blue. Most the dealerships in my area don't have these and the ones they do they are marking up by $7,500 over MSRP, total BS, that's why I am ordering one.
How does one order online? You just build your car, and request a quote? Trying to get myself one as well, but the dealers around me aren't carrying the trim I'll like. Thank you
@@imtocrazy1 Well you would build one off Kia website then print it and take it to your dealership, tell them you wanna order it. Some dealerships can't order any because Kia is only letting them get a limited inventory and they are allocating them out. I just bought a SX Prestige in Sapphire Blue, luckily they had one at another dealership close by that had all the features on it so I buy it brand new!!
@@Chris_Blue I got you, wonder if contacting via online would do the same trick as printing it out. Thank you though, and damn lucky find! I'm literally looking for the SX prestige same color as you. Mind if i ask how much was the MSRP on yours?
@@imtocrazy1 I highly doubt he paid MSRP. I just ordered a Wolf gray prestige with red interior just like this one and the only dealer I could find was charging $3500 mark up. Most are charging $5k to $7k, even if you order one and they say MSRP when you get to sign the paper work they will still slap on fees. Why? Because KIA will increase the price on these next year so dealers are paying the full MSRP for them and making their profit off of the mark ups just to stay afloat.
It’s just ugly. I know there are people out there that really like it, and that’s fine, it’s just kind of nauseating to me. It’s a bit like the carnival peanut/styrofoam candy. Yuck. To be fair though, I have not seen it in person.
I was in the same spot. It’s probably the spotlight effect, but Toyota did recalls with their engines catching fire too apparently and my honda has had so many problems
I have the sx prestige and the audio left a lot to be desired to be premium, nothing good is heard, the bass is very poor and I have it at maximum, very bad Harman Kardon
I don't think you can make a video like this without any communication. You need to explain what is happening, each button and why its pressed. I just don't get this video.
The power, for the most part is fine for me. I just went on a 1500 mile trip where 500 miles of it, had a speed limit of 80 MPH. No problems at that speed. I can see where you would need more power if passing on a 2 lane highway. Freeway and town, the power is fine.

I’ve just received mine and loving it, great bit of kit, I brought the GT
you make amazing videos i never stop watching them
Thanks for the support!!
I’m definitely getting this 😍😍😍😍😍
Love my Sportage. Wish my sound system was a bit better tho. I'll be upgrading that myself.
Is it bad ?
@@Uniteddreamerud it's not bad, but it could be a bit better. I'm just looking for a certain umph with the sound.
@@tay2tiny yea so I’m gonna have to buy amps then
Recién llego a Colima y se ve hermosa en color negro
Great video. Thank you. Still trying to figure out if that interior is actually red. Every video I've seen it looks more orange or rust colored.
in person it kind of looks like the color of an old worn out basketball
Yeah. Doesn't appeal to me at all.

@@timmerred5 its very beautiful! The color is Carmine red the camera really doesnt pick up the color here but , in person its a very bright leather.
great video
What a big diffterence to Germany,the Spotge is 4 meteand 52 Centimeter only
Love it ❤️
still debating on whether or not a ‘kia’ is actually worth it or not, especially given their history with those engines.
I was in the same spot. It’s probably the spotlight effect, but Toyota did recalls with their engines catching fire too apparently and my honda has had so many problems
It's a new 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with new 8 speed automatic. Can't really compare it with previous ones.
Hello..what is the better sound system in your opinion, this Harman Kardon or Toyota Rav4 JBL 11 speaker?
Does the vehicle feel underpowered?
I'm assuming all of the touchy feely is considered foreplay ?
I prefer narration. Good coverage though. What drive mode were you using for the acceleration?
can android auto/ apple carplay not take up the whole screen???
How is the stereo?
It's a nice system, it could use a bit more bass though
I purchased a Sportage prestige sx, color wolf grey.
Question! Why No badge
On right rear to show package?
That's just KIA, it only shows 4X on the right side if its AWD
Thank you for information
Greatly Appreciate
8 speaker ? hm......
No habla!

It's not a review, it's just a test drive to simulate how it feels if you were driving it
No wireless charging, no wireless apple play common kia this car is too fancy not to have those features.
It does have wireless charging also has fast charging outlets on the back of both front seats and Apple or Android auto.
il y a la recharge sans fil.
Nice car but the power sucks I can’t live with 187 horsepower every time you need to go over 5k rpm it’s crazy
The power, for the most part is fine for me. I just went on a 1500 mile trip where 500 miles of it, had a speed limit of 80 MPH. No problems at that speed. I can see where you would need more power if passing on a 2 lane highway. Freeway and town, the power is fine.
The hev has 227hp and the phev has 261hp
