Just bought a 2023 x line and it has so many features I have to research them all! I've been trying to figure out how to just get the shade back all day! Thanks so much!
With the roof and shade fully closed you can also just push up on the button to partially open the shade and pop the back of the sun roof. Another push up closes the roof, then a push forward closes the shade.
Hi Andrew, this time I have a question for you. If you don't mind. Have you ever heard about any complaint concerning the panoramic roof of the Sportage. From outside or any unit saled by you? Thank you for your time and keep up the excellent work you have been doing.
Hi Andrew! Thanks for the new Sportage tutorials! Question: my 2023 Sportage boomerang Daytime Running Lights are not turning on during the day. They used to turn on automatically, but are not turning on during the day. How can I get my DRL lights to work during the day? Thank you!
It's my pleasure! Hmm, that's weird that they would stop. Here in Canada they are mandatory and we can't turn them off. Maybe take it to your local Kia and they can take a look. Thanks for watching! - Andrew
I would love to, I'm trying to get as many videos done as I can when I get a Sportage to do them. They are selling so fast! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Do you know if the hybrid has the bug shield? I've lost track of how many times bees/other bugs have come in through the sunroof of my car! This bug shield is awesome!
I just take a microfiber cloth with a quick detailer and give a light wipe right across, and all the nasty stuff usually comes off in a wipe or two! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Question on a different issue, same vehicle. How do I raise the tailgate from outside the vehicle without having the key fob, even if I do have the key fob in my pocket. It won't open unless I press the button on the fob.
Here in Canada the only FWD option is the LX and that does not come with the panoramic sunroof. So you can only get one with all-wheel-drive here. Thanks for watching! - Andrew
The sunroof opens more than it ever has in the Sportage! It just needs somewhere for the glass to go, so they opened it to the limits of that. Thanks for watching! - Andrew
That makes sense, too hot! Sometimes you end up with some features you don't want based on the trim level options available. Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Hello! Do you know if you leave the car with the sunroof open, and lock it, will the car close it for you? Or will the car close it if the rain comes? (It can detect rain with the rain sensor)
A nice feature, but why is the car so ugly on the outside. Messy design. You will learn something in design from Mercedes, Mazda and Genesis for example.

How do you like it? Im thinking this is the new SUV I will buy... seems like an awesome price for AWD and only 1500 for premium upgrade.
Thank you for this details! A lot of videos just mention you can open it without mentioning different functions, great job!
It's my pleasure! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
thanks, was really helpful ! didn't you had to sometimes push lightly ahah
Awesome, glad it helped! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
We purchased a 2023 Sportage XPro and love everything about it.
Amazing! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

It's my pleasure! Not that I have seen or involved with specifically no! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
@@CardinalKia Thank you for your reply.
Cheers.
Thank you for this thorough review. Do you do reviews on illuminated scuff plates?
You're very welcome! Not at this point, but we'll see what happens! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
How did you get the shade to stop from fully closing? You mentioned that you can do it but I don’t see how in the video. Thank you.
You can press the button up into the ceiling to stop the shade at any point while it's moving! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

@@CardinalKia ok will do! Thanks again for the sportage tutorials Andrew!
Can you add more videos of the EX trim? I have one ordered!

@@CardinalKia Thanks!
Do you know if the hybrid has the bug shield? I've lost track of how many times bees/other bugs have come in through the sunroof of my car! This bug shield is awesome!
Yep! The Panoramic Sunroof works the same in the Sportage ICE, HEV, and PHEV with the bug shield/net! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
@@CardinalKia awesome! Thank you!
Most welcome! - Andrew
You have this car?
it’s a wind deflector
How do you clean the bug shield?

There should be a button right next to the backup camera to open the liftgate from the back! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Thanks !!!!
It's my pleasure! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Does the 2023 shortage hybrid have a sunroof ?
Here in Canada the Sportage HEV SX AWD will get the panoramic sunroof! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Hey Andrew! Does the panoramic sunroof come only in with the AWD or can I get it with the FWD? Or does the sunroof come with the Ex itself?
Here in Canada the only FWD option is the LX and that does not come with the panoramic sunroof. So you can only get one with all-wheel-drive here. Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Does this sunroof open all the way up?
The sunroof opens more than it ever has in the Sportage! It just needs somewhere for the glass to go, so they opened it to the limits of that. Thanks for watching! - Andrew
I never use mine but had to get it in order to get the automatic trunk/hatch option. In Florida you never see those sunroof open.
That makes sense, too hot! Sometimes you end up with some features you don't want based on the trim level options available. Thanks for watching! - Andrew

That would be really cool, but unfortunately it does not. Thanks for watching! - Andrew
does a2023 sportage ex come with sunroof ?
Here in Canada it does, yep! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
What about kia connect?
Disappointed that it doesn't open back a little more
They wanted to ensure the glass has plenty of space to go somewhere and still maintain aerodynamics while open! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
@@CardinalKia They need to take note from Subaru Forester if that's the case
A nice feature, but why is the car so ugly on the outside. Messy design. You will learn something in design from Mercedes, Mazda and Genesis for example.
They didn't want to be like them, they wanted to stand out and be different! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
I think it’s beautiful on the outside (and inside too). My new favorite car. Moved right to the top of my list.
This car is NOT ugly. Go buy a Mercedes or Genesis if you don't like the Sportage - and then we can compare monthly car payments ; )
Jump on one when you see it in stock! - Andrew
Agreed! - Andrew
