The crazy thing is that in the U.K. our cars do not get the ‘My Drive’ option or the ‘baby mode’ option on the facelift Tucson. I think we are really getting short changed….I have the top spec car too - N Line S.
12:45 DK: I understand that the lane change assist only works on the highway, but is that because of a minimum speed requirement, or is it because it knows you're on the highway? I couldn't get the lane change to work in the EV3 I tested today because I wasn't able to get on the highway. This particular Kia dealership only allowed me to test drive the EV3 for 30 minutes. That's rdiculous considering Hyundai gave me 90 minutes for the IONIQ 5. 😡🤷♂️
Thank tou for the review! I am a bit disappointed, because you did not answer many of the questions (including mine) which you gathered with your community post few weeks ago. 1. Does the car (hybrid) hold rpm when making left/right turn form stop? 2. Baby mode sounds great, but how is the ride in general compared to the pre-facelift model in terms of comfort and noice from the suspension? Thank you again!
so the hybrid suspension is stiffer than the gasoline? so the hybrid is sportier in corners? thank you for the video, cannot wait for the sportage hev vs tucson hev
So Gasolin is 6,56Liter/100km AGAINST hybrid 8,47Liter/100km so the Hybrid is too heavy and does not help truly LOOOL if that is true KIA will sell here in Germany, people love pure gasoline suv/limosine to buy for their private cars. only state tax subsidise is lower for businesses if it is not electro or hybrid

Sorry to hear that 😭 Of all things, that should never have been dropped.

Good day from Greece.
What is the boot capacity of gasoline and hybrid versions ,?
Thanks !
I have a question, do the new Sportage hybrid versions come with matrix LED lights? BTW I just love your movies! :)
How many speakers have this Krill audio system? I hope white interior will be available in Europe/Sweden.
Is the KIA sportage facelift will bring to the Philippines?
If you've been getting the Sportage, most likely!
Is it truth that New Hyundai Palisade Hybrid waiting list over 1 year now for N.American market?
The longer model in Germany would be great.
In German long there is unfortunately only the short version with 4.52 metres, which is a pity
so the hybrid suspension is stiffer than the gasoline?
so the hybrid is sportier in corners?
thank you for the video, cannot wait for the sportage hev vs tucson hev
Ioniq hybrid 58 mpg 😅
