a Japanese car purist here. every time I see Hyundai/kia/genesis come out with style, tech, and a class leading warranty, it makes me want a Korean car more and more. scotty should be scared now.
@@iLikeTigerz101 Japanese automakers like Toyota and Lexus, which have been fooling consumers by manipulating safety tests for decades, are not innocent.
@@musicselecta5554 I will go the other way the Sportage 2022 is one of the best looking SUVs on the road , not sure about the new face , the boomerang lights stood out thought they are great
I love the all-black editions that Kia and Hyundai offer on some of their models. Looks really good. Good noise insulation too! The moment you closed the door the background music almost disappeared.
@ it’s just fine. I generally prefer a three-spoke design and the off-centred Kia logo is what really doesn’t do it for me. I get the concept but just not a fan of asymmetrical designs lol.
Definitely worth checking out. For many years I struggle to see the differences between related Hyundai and Kia models. For some time it seemed like Kia is the cheaper version but it's annoying that it's not clear. I think the facelifted Tucson has some weaknesses (particularly those ridiculously low bulb-based rear turn signals) and this Sportage not only avoids those weaknesses but I like quite a few things on first sight. Buttons BUTTONS BUTTONS!!! Love them. The central display with shortcuts (HOME MAP SEARCH...) is also very nice, kinda retro chic. I also love the rear seats. They seem to recline quite a lot and they may be good for an odd nap once in a while when you may find yourself in a situation where you dearly need it. I was hoping to see rolling blinders integrated in the rear windows. Maybe there's a trim level with those. The glossy black exterior styles are horrible, including those superfugly black wheels. BLEAH. Hope there are alternatives.
Firstly, many thanks for the video! I must say that pre-facelift looks better. The matte interior is great but it looks pretty cheap now thanks to different shades of grey and ugly steering wheel. Sadly, there are still some bulbs instead of LEDs - glovebox, sun visor and license plate. Also adding lock button next to the close button on the trunk door would be nice. Head-up display is finally there? And what is current palette of colors? Is there any vibrant color?

Wow I am amazing by the look and the off-road style design. I am just big fan of Kia thanks you car strife Korea you are always better. I love the ASMR but I miss your voice so for the next video about the new Kia sportage please bring back your awesome voice thanks you and good night. Or morning. And also I love the blue it caught my eyes.
Only thing I regret is that I do not live in Korea but in EU, you get it for 25k euro I won't get it for 50k euro short wheelbase, what a time to be alive honestly! So I got myself Qashqai which is a joke, because korean cars used to be the cheaper ones, not japanese.
Большое спасибо за обзор. Передняя часть кузова получилась симпатичнее, чем на рестайлинговом К8. А вот рулевое колесо у К8 поинтереснее. И наконец-то убрали рояльный лак.
I love the innovation with Hyundai and Kia cars. The facelifts not so much because it makes me feel like it's better to lease Hyundais and Kias to keep up with the new designs. The Sportage last face lift was just 3 years ago😢
Kia has some of the best looking vehicles at it’s price point. One thing I truly don’t understand is why they do not add LED lights to the license plate on the trunk. This always baffled me because it’s such an easy fix and makes the car look much classier, versus the halogen lighting.
I was wondering if to wait for this facelift model - in the end I got a Tucson facelift in N Line S trim. However, I will still go and see this car when it arrives in the U.K.
I have the current generation Sportage (short wheelbase version - UK). Have to say visually apart from a few minor updates it looks predominantly similar to the current version. Probably a couple of extra tech bells and whistles obviously. Personally I’m not sure on the front end, looks boxy and a bit dull. Not sure I’m digging the slightly redesigned steering wheel either. I get they’re trying to match the design language to their EV models but for me they should have transferred the wheel design from The EV6 which looks much more appealing in my opinion. Still, minor design preferences aside I’m sure it will be a fantastic car. The current model is a joy to drive and if they’ve managed to improve on that, The new Sportage will definitely be another massive hit for Kia.
@CSK. I love your channel! I have a question for you about the 12-inch infotainment display in the higher-trim Sportage models. When do you think it will come with WIRELESS Apple CarPlay in the U.S.? I heard somewhere that it might be part of a mid-year update to the Sportage in 2025 (is that even something that happens?) I am interested in buying a Sportage plug-in hybrid but Wireless Apple CarPlay is the only thing holding me back at this time. Thank you!
Front optic looks UGLY again! As previous gen! Tucson is better! Quasqai restyle is better too!!!! So strange! 😢 Iwas looking forward to this model so much! I will drive my old Sportage 2020.
That doesn’t look very nice. Was hoping it would look more like Sorento. This looks more like the Hyundai creta in Indonesia. A bit disappointed. Kinda expected this look. Was one of the leaked image I saw. Weird they went with this. If they separated the grille with the lights like the carnival, sorento and telluride would have been nicer.
It typically takes about six months for new models to reach other parts of the globe 🥲 So what you see on the Kia website is what you will get for your market.
@@cheezeandcrackers That will depend on how soon Kia USA imports these models which I have no idea about. Hope you'd find your answer from your local dealerships.
I like what Kia has done with the head and daylights on this model update. I definitely think it looks better than the front end design of the K3 and K4, while looking also different from Cadillac’s vertical headlights which some people believe Kia copied. The front end on the Sportage looks less like tiger fangs. Good job here!
oh, headlights Sportage, why do they experiment so much, really don't know if I like it and when non facelift Sportage was driving on highway behind me / next it was really annoying
As a current Sportage owner I do not like the looks of this lift. It is not koherent with overall design of the body. I have bought the sportage because it was more attractive in the outside and inside than Tucson but after the lift it is other way around.
@CarSceneKorea Sorento on the other hand looks gorgeous after lift. I think the problem here is overall body shape in conjunction with the new styling.
I'v e been waiting for this facelift for couple of months. I'll buy it if they have fixed wind noise. I really hope the HEV version will come to Sweden and it will have double laminated glass. I'm still disappointed about ugly plastics in the back of the front seats and lack of the real keyless system like in Mazdas. Btw the front reminds me of Volvo Polestar and I like it :-)
It always has been a long wheelbase model for domestic market, Korea, where I am located. If your market got a short wheelbase, it could still be the same. Double check with your local dealership.

It is time to compare facelift Hyundai Tuscon and facelift Kia Sportage . No longer two year old design 😁 First sight my personal opinion still Hyundai Tuscon
My feelings for this KIA are completely confused, the license plate lights are halogen ( stupid example but it stings the eyes ), a paradox, everything is kind of crowded, I don't know how to express it... The Hyundai Tuson facelift is much better done...The interior looks clean plastic, cheap plastic 😔
The usual mess up with Korean facelifts trying to put a front of completely different car design to the older model. It must me a marketing move for ppl to buy the next model when it comes out. Previous model is so much cohesive and better looking.
Decent facelift on a good car with a great warranty - but I wouldn't buy Korean for the simple reason that their designers always feel the next generation must be dramatically different from the previous one, thus making the car you bought just a year ago look and feel old and devaluing it even further. Premium brands EVOLVE their designs to protect resale values (ask VW who have managed to completely f***k up the new Tiguan!)
What happened to Kia designers??? Do they want to show their madness... There is a difference between madness and ugly design... Kia Sportage has lost its beauty because of this boxy front.
Have they fixed the engines.. I am looking for a new car right now. Love the look of the Kia's but I just hear to much stuff going wrong with them all the time. But they look sexy as.
they made it look less stylish the old one looks more better at the back too. urh get a new vehical designer. the previous one was so good. they could have just made some touch up

It is sad to see the boomerang front LED's go away. Those really gave the Sportage a unique character. Now they just look like a smaller Sorento.
a Japanese car purist here. every time I see Hyundai/kia/genesis come out with style, tech, and a class leading warranty, it makes me want a Korean car more and more. scotty should be scared now.
Could not agree more tbh. I also still own and drive a Japanese car too, but gotta love what Hyundai Motor Group is pumping out lately!
Looks like a Million dollars beauty!!

I like the previous front headlights design of the sportage.

Recently started watching your videos and your reviews are or a lifetime before anyone else.
Thank you I really appreciate it🙌
This is the car I've been saving up for this whole year! I can't wait to see it come to the US, specifically the hybrid Sx-Prestige! ✨
It's gonna be a beauty, can't wait to see it on the road!
I love the all-black editions that Kia and Hyundai offer on some of their models. Looks really good.
Good noise insulation too! The moment you closed the door the background music almost disappeared.
Indeed, it was super quiet inside. Can't wait for the test drive!
The palisade black ink gives me "hearse" and "goth" vibes
I have the 2023 Sportage X Pro Love the car. Nothing negative is these 2 years. And good job for the middle-time refresh
I've only seen satisfied owners from Sportage thus far ;) Enjoy!
GOAT 🐐 Thank you so much for your work 😊
Review video coming soon!💪
Not a fan of the new steering wheel 😭
doesn't look bad but old one one was great, pretty much similar to my Ceed, i love it

@@dateintokyoi like the off center logo. Look forward to seeing this entire vehicle in person.
Very nice!More sofisticated than the bulky previous one!I prefer this!
Thank you for this first look! Love the refreshed front and rear design. And that new steering wheel! 😍👏
It's a head-turner for sure! 😎
It looks so much better, particularly at the front. It’s also great that they got rid of all the piano black inside.
Appreciate the detailed lighting overview! Really hope North America version can keep the amber rear turn signals. Seems like a solid facelift!
Agreed! 💯

Love my KIA. They make great cars. Latest tech and design. Will definitely buy another one.
Glad you like it! 👍
Wow that blue one with tan interior and black wheels is one real sharp looking vehicle .
Agreed! 💯
I will miss the pre-facelift model, I think it's more iconic
@MindIsLikeFullMoonInFall theyre still on the road though. You cant miss them
Questa nuova versione che riprende i nuovi stilemi del marchio è davvero bellissima. Complimenti.
Sono felice che ti piaccia!
Glad you like it!
Wow! 😮 0:43 in, and I'm already loving what i see, nice looking SUV. Great job, kia 👏
Glad you like it!
Styling wise, looks like a big improvement in the rear. I think I like the current front end better.
Like that Hyundai, Kia and Genesis listen to customer feedback regarding physical buttons and piano black plastics in the interiors of their cars :)
Thanks for showing!
Our pleasure!
Only best kia forever

from this short video, this is a gorgeous ride. I nearly bought the previous model, but it had way to much gloss black in the interior.
I have to say the 360 camera looks even better than a bmw x5. I like how they did remove the black cutouts around the car when In 3d mode
I still think the headlights in the previous model look way more baddass 🎉

The current version of the Sportage is prettier than this facelift. And the steering wheel is also a drawback.
I own pre facelift Sportage. I prefer current exterior design rather than new one. And the new steering wheel design is a joke 😅
It just shows that you can never please everyone - I much prefer the new design in every way 🤣
Nothing wrong with the new design. It is not bad but lack of unique because Kia start to has same front design for every new cars.
2022 sportage owner here, really love the facelifted interior but for the exterior, love more mine 😁

I was wondering if to wait for this facelift model - in the end I got a Tucson facelift in N Line S trim. However, I will still go and see this car when it arrives in the U.K.
It will take some time for the overseas arrival as always, so great call on Tucson!
The interior is way better than the current Sportage. It will arrive in the US next year as a 2026 MY and have a pricing coming at $30,000
I love it
This looks so nice. Why couldn't they simply put the design ques,facia from this car or Sorento to their Tasman😢
I have the current generation Sportage (short wheelbase version - UK). Have to say visually apart from a few minor updates it looks predominantly similar to the current version. Probably a couple of extra tech bells and whistles obviously.
Personally I’m not sure on the front end, looks boxy and a bit dull. Not sure I’m digging the slightly redesigned steering wheel either.

Put everything aside, I say HOD alone is really worth the upgrade!
Wait...I hope those guys standing there doesn't mean we need to play Squid Games to get into a new Sportage!!
🤣 Seems like Sportage will star in the upcoming Squid Game.
@CarSceneKorea Nice! That makes sense why they are there then! I can't wait for season 2!
@CSK. I love your channel! I have a question for you about the 12-inch infotainment display in the higher-trim Sportage models. When do you think it will come with WIRELESS Apple CarPlay in the U.S.?

Great KIA - no piano Black. Please consider offering longer Sportage in EU like in USA
They improve the quality of sound? I hope so
The comments from Toyota and Honda dealers are interesting.
🤣🤣
I like the steering wheel and is that a fingerprint reader below the drive selector? That's new!
Indeed!
Front optic looks UGLY again! As previous gen! Tucson is better! Quasqai restyle is better too!!!! So strange! 😢 Iwas looking forward to this model so much! I will drive my old Sportage 2020.
Sorento's little brother :)
Nice but I like the current generation. Especially the interior. It’s nice they got rid of the piano black on the console though.
Yes, the new interior is definitely a step up!
Kia's new light signature was applied to sportage too
Starmap Signature Lighting 😎
That doesn’t look very nice. Was hoping it would look more like Sorento. This looks more like the Hyundai creta in Indonesia. A bit disappointed.
Kinda expected this look. Was one of the leaked image I saw. Weird they went with this. If they separated the grille with the lights like the carnival, sorento and telluride would have been nicer.
You've got a point. I wonder how this would look on the streets, though!
Esa versión estará disponible en México? Y cuando?
Kia México tendrá la respuesta a eso, yo lamentablemente no😭
Kia Mexico will have the answer to that, I don't unfortunately😭
I'm really confused. In the US there will be a 2025 Kia Sportage and this different 2025 Kia Sportage facelift model?
It typically takes about six months for new models to reach other parts of the globe 🥲 So what you see on the Kia website is what you will get for your market.
When is this coming to the US?
It typically takes about six months for new models to reach other parts of the globe 🥲
@CarSceneKorea so will it be a 2026 in the US?
@@cheezeandcrackers That will depend on how soon Kia USA imports these models which I have no idea about. Hope you'd find your answer from your local dealerships.
Thx for the video
What about the drive train on hybrid
1.6 hybrid
Still 6sp transmission?
Or the new 8sp?
I wasn't able to find that info yet.
Will this be 2026 model year for US or will they bring it for 2025 model year even though they already started 2025 model year?
It will most likely be a 2026 then. Hyundai USA ought to have the answer to that.
@CarSceneKorea Hyundai USA or KIA USA? or is it the same thing?
What's wrong with the steering wheel design. It's just terrible 😞
Is that what the 2025 kia sportage will look like in the u.s. or will it be the u.s 2026 model ?
That will depend on Kia USA, your local dealership should have the answer to that.
2026
Where is the urea cap located now on the new facelifted sportage? It's not beside the petrol cap anymore as seen from this clip.
There is no more diesel for this Sportage PE model.

Why do Kia stick with halogen license plate lights! Same with my 24 Proceed
😭😭
What about spare tire in hybrid trim? The current generation has it.
It’s been a while Korean spec models did not get spare tires, but only puncture kit. You might get a spare tire depending on your market.
스포티지 대박나겟어요 ㅎㅎ

I will soon include the translated one in upcoming video.
It is time to compare facelift Hyundai Tuscon and facelift Kia Sportage . No longer two year old design 😁 First sight my personal opinion still Hyundai Tuscon
It is definitely time for a comparison! 😎
Heritage blue is the one
They sure made it look cheaper. Hate the cup holder/arm rest its so smalll. Why would you leave so much room outside so everyone can see your stuff???
I wish they'd change the keyfob.
My feelings for this KIA are completely confused, the license plate lights are halogen ( stupid example but it stings the eyes ), a paradox, everything is kind of crowded, I don't know how to express it... The Hyundai Tuson facelift is much better done...The interior looks clean plastic, cheap plastic 😔
You’ve got some valid points here!
The usual mess up with Korean facelifts trying to put a front of completely different car design to the older model. It must me a marketing move for ppl to buy the next model when it comes out. Previous model is so much cohesive and better looking.
I like both! 😎
They should make a proper PHEV with 20kWh battery , a bit more capacity than Toyota RAV4 PHEV
I don’t know, but I like the Hyundai Tucson facelift more than this one.
NOT a good design decision! KIA will lose it's market share in this segment. SAD!🤔
Not a chance of that happening….
куда запаску дели, супостаты?
HUD display 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 with this kia sportage is very beautiful car
Finally!🙌
Come on new Palisade!
Won’t be long!
Kia Rio 2025 launch date, please let us know
That's not in my wheelhouse yet, but I'll be sure to keep you posted!
Decent facelift on a good car with a great warranty - but I wouldn't buy Korean for the simple reason that their designers always feel the next generation must be dramatically different from the previous one, thus making the car you bought just a year ago look and feel old and devaluing it even further. Premium brands EVOLVE their designs to protect resale values (ask VW who have managed to completely f***k up the new Tiguan!)
Food for thought.
What happened to Kia designers??? Do they want to show their madness... There is a difference between madness and ugly design... Kia Sportage has lost its beauty because of this boxy front.
Looks like Hyundai Mufasa now😅
2017-2021 Kia удивляла хорошим дизайном, сейчас больше нет! Верните предыдущую команду дизайнеров!
Have they fixed the engines.. I am looking for a new car right now. Love the look of the Kia's but I just hear to much stuff going wrong with them all the time. But they look sexy as.
steering wheel is awful
Uglier than the pre-faclift 🤦🏻
Had a couple of Kia’s and both nice cars, just a shame in UK the interiors are always so dull, blacks and dark grey everywhere.
Lounge Brown is the brightest one we can get😭
your cars are amazing but production rate is very low and waiting for the car is kind of a nightmare.
I hear you. It's worth the wait, though! 😉
For once Kia managed to make an already existing model much better, I found the current model very ugly but now it has a nicer face
Agreed, the front end is more attractive and is my style too 😎
@@CarSceneKorea Is there a Diesel and Hybrid variant of this Sportage?
🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮
Looks hideous all Kia's hideous apart for EV6
There is a hybrid, no more diesel though.
I can’t stand the fact that the LOGO on the steering wheel is not centered
“Opposites United,” my friend😆
they made it look less stylish the old one looks more better at the back too. urh get a new vehical designer. the previous one was so good. they could have just made some touch up
