2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid Deep Dive Review | Patterson Autos

First time I have seen someone reference being able to Swap positions of the Volume button (from L to R side of panel).
Another trick mentioned elsewhere is the ability to set a Default for that dual-control panel, so it always returns to either media or climate settings.
Beyond that: decent quick overview; liked the piano black comments; lighting when showing off luggage area could have been better.

Any impressions of how the speakers/radio sounds on this model (the standard speaker setup?) I'm not looking for window shaking bass, but some entry level systems are pretty good, others are really bad. Wondering how this one rates for music?

Do not like the piano black (fingerprints). The dashboard shows a lot of reflection and fading
because of angles. This would be horrible while driving.
I got rid of a Honda with a digital speedometer for that very reason.
The sun would sometimes be at an angle where I could not see it.
This looks the same .

Bro, who's beating you up????

The default Eco mode is great, but the sport mode not only gives the car an extra boost in speed, but the handling even tightens up and the suspension. It's more of a performance driving mode. We don't really use it except for occasionally.

We find the piano black after 4 months is fine. No scratches, cleans up easy

You can do all the audio stuff if you like from the steering wheel.

Read the manual carefully before you use the all-wheel drive lock. We have the 2023 :-)

We tried the Toyota RAV4 and the Honda CRV, this beat both. We've always had Hondas in the past. One thing that helps is they have this EX trim, it's quite a bargain. A lot cheaper than the Honda EX, but with better tech and safety. We don't have a sunroof, but in reality I don't find those mean all that much.

Hilarious

would rather get the 2024 Hyundai Kona Limited instead.

Just drove my off the lot today! Best investment this new mama could make 🙏🏽

You can get the EX with the EX premium package and it comes in at about 35k. Either way everything you need or want. Except the premium stereo

2024 model rear seat floor mat is too is too big and doesn't fit.

Are you presenting a FULL hybrid or a PLUG IN hybrid? You mention having to charge the battery so I'm confused. My current vehicle is a full hybrid 2008 Prius, which I've never had to recharge. Please clarify. Thanks.

We waited ten months for our sxp. So far its great. Potholes or bumps are rough but overall, better value than the mazda cx5 we traded in.

I own the gt line trim sportage here in the uk and i get 58 mpg combined

Dony buy a sportage hybrid. Noisy inside. Terrible hard ride. A waste of good money😢

Trash

Very good review welldone

Needs to have a HUD available

All that gloss black plastic cheapens the interior. I wish it was flat black.

Next time during your presentation Don't use that music in background it's annoying.😖😝🤪

Great walkthrough. Our daughter recently had an accident, so we gave her my wifes 2020 Kia Seltos, and are looking at the GT spec 2024 Sportage in the hybrid version as a replacement. They certainly do look like a pretty good car, and excellent value for money

One of the worst reviews I've seen. He must have forgot that the car doesn't have a rear bumper. Climate controls for the AC are touch screen. I'll pass on that. Horribe Car. LED bulbs that only the dealer can replace at a hefty cost.
