The 2023 Kia Sportage SX Prestige Hybrid Is A Distinctive Electrified Family SUV

This Carmine Red interior looks more like a burnt tan brown & it looks amazing in person 😍🔥🥵🤩! I love this interior

careful of Hybrid parts warranty coverage with Kia...depending on model. Just ask about it... don't assume it's included in their renowned warranty.

For whatever it's worth, my friend only averages 34-35 mpg in her RAV4 Hybrid with mixed driving and she drives super conservative too.

Thank you for the great review. I got to say one thing I cannot stand CVT transmissions. I have a 2017 Hyundai Tucson and I love it except for that transmission. I will never buy another one of those again. It’s so jerky and everyone notices it that rides with me.

You said the engine starts up to heat or cool the interior. Does that mean when the engine turns off (which it does all the time) the A/C turns off? If so, that is a deal breaker. Here in FL you will sweat instantly without A/C. I hate stop/start on my car because of that.

Nice video!
Thanks

How’s it go 250,000 km later ?

The Rav4 Hybrid is alot noiser ride compared to the Sportage Hybrid and the Front Wheel Drive has amazing gas mileage.

True opion etc awd AWD on thiis kia sportage. please forgive me leyboard its old! owwened 5 over the last 10years you will never utilize the 5 buttons down hill asisit 4by 4 button and the 3 others nobs camera sucks they come with cheap komo tires its hard to adjust from climate to auto the new front grill is plastick has abbsolutyl no power at all zzzz so do youir homework this model is based aat 35456 lmao no thanks Kia

Too bad the SX Prestige is impossible to get.

But what the HP on the gas engine only and how does it interphase with electric motor etc

What color is this one ????

How long does the engine last?

Thank you. Your criticism has helped my decision to buy this vehicle 🎉❤

Can I get a tow hitch or is it included? And A-pillar interior handles are right above your head for convenience when “holding on!”

Diesel or this ?

No one needs to do a 0-60 test on the daily. As long as the power is there when needed.

I'd take the Kia any day over the Rav4...

How is the SynTex upholstery? Would it stand up to a dog?

can this 2023 Kia Sportage remotely start the vehicle with an app? (Just like a 2023 Toyota Rav4 limited)?

looking freaking amazing for it’s segment. solid and well maded interior with cool design. one thing is complaining for me is pretty too much glossy surfaces in that areas where it can be covered with scratches easily during the time.
overall very good choice, if it will have a competitive reliability of course

Is that matte grey still available? I don't see it on the website.

Yes this the one I am interested that is what I want in a family car & I have an idea it has a lot of room for a family of three, because I am moving to Georgia 🇬🇪 I would like to buy that one . Do you have it in black 🖤

What are the most comfortable and supportive leather seats in an suv??

The worst hybrid on thé market

The interior color is ULGY!

I love this interior color, but I wish that kia would let you get this car with a more interesting exterior color compared to the Fusion Black, Gravity Grey, & the Shadow Matte Grey which looks way better than the metallic Gravity Grey. I wish you could get the Deep Ocean Blue from the Seltos or even the Vesta Blue the Sportage offers with this interior which would make it look very unique. Even the Jungle Green they offer on the Sportage Plug-in Hybrid with this interior would look very distinctive

I want this exact color combination now that I'm reconsidering this car, unless I get the Fusion Black or Gravity Grey & just wrap the exterior to a dark blue instead

Am I correct that if you don't go for the matte gray exterior with the carmine red interior you are stuck with a black interior? I hate HATE black interiors . . .

I agree with your comment on the styling but I think it looks better than the Hyundai Tuscon!

Hyundai Kia is the only car makers in the world, despite being a same company, that compete against one another in the same market...

Quite redundant and wasteful if you think about it. Quite possibly all of Kia lineup can be badged as Hyundai and not one will be out of place. Because they both play in exact same market, class, and status as brand goes..

I got that same car in gravity gray with carmine red interior and I Love it😋

when is thhis available in the philippines

I am sure the EX is at least 200 lbs. lighter which would do 0 to 60 in around 7.1 seconds.

Finally someone that pronounces this car the proper way.
It's not a French car.

Regarding Hybrid vehicles, which do you prefer/recommend between the Sportage, Sorrento, and Santa Fe?

Does anyone know the gas tank capacity?

With all due respect, HOW DARE YOU! The style is the first thing that made me fall in love with it!

Don't know if the Heads Up Display is needed? Dude. Once you go HUD, you'll never look...down!

Question: I just bought my 23 Kia Sportage from Kansas City and I'm driving it back to Seattle. Lots of bugs and the car is really dirty. can I wash my car or do I have to wait?

Good review, and honest 👍

i thought manufacturers were going away from touch buttons...nobody likes touch buttons. physical buttons are superior. owell.

I like the spec I saw this paint on an Ev6

Chicken drumbettes !

Will consider this vehicle and thanks for nicely hosting

I'd really like to see volume (noise) and shakiness (suspension) lvls in cabin while driving. comfort while driving down the hwy everyday is really important to me.

holy nutballs this model looks waaay better than RAV4

Very good looking car compare to the boring looking Toyotas and Hondas. Price is fair too. reliability, however, is unknown, YET! As a lease option, I would give it a shot, for sure. This car opened my eyes a bit. Nice review and thank you !

I love the look of this vehicle over the rav4, especially the matte paint and general exterior/interior design. The rav4 hybrid system just has years of reliability and trust already behind it and many of them have been known to last 300k+ miles. The hybrid system of the Sportage just doesn't have that known reliability yet, which is a big deterrent for me.

This is an awesome car that I bought one. Thank you for a wonderful review. I bought the 2023 Kia Sportage SX Prestige AWD Hybrid. I love it. Mine is coming in another month. It has the best 1.6L Turbo engine with the Hybrid engine at 38MPG. I am very impressed with all of it. So many features. The Panoramic sunroof is simple awesome. It is built very well with great quality. The LED projector lights are very bright and go very far. The engine is very quick and quiet. No road noise at all. Thank you for your honest review.
