Thank you Bryce! For tuning in ^^
@@AsianPetrolhead most def! I own that car. I love it!

Just got myself a 3 year old Sportage and still have the next 4 years warranty, absolutely outstanding! Beautiful looking car too!
always hammering and pushing every car you review to the limits.. love it!.. i'm seriously considering this vehicle soon as i'll need more room to haul stuff. Great review as always, Charlie!.. Keep'em comin!
Thanks Bernie for tuning in. We will keep em coming.
Great video. Facelift/ front line is very nice. What I absolutely like about this review is that you test the car just like I would. Thanks
Thank you so much for your kind words Mr. Serverie. Do shares our channel with your friends for we are just getting started. Thank you.
Ah yes, I test drove this Sportage. It drives better than my RAV4. Feels much more lively and smooth ride. It may be my next SUV.
Glad you like this new Kia Sportage. Thank you.
I am picking up my Sportage on Monday. A 2019 red lx with 7000kms. It was a sales managers demo vehicle. I traded my Nissan Rogue 2019. The sportage handles so much better them the rogue. Your video helped me to make this decision. Thank You
Congratulations on your new Kia Sportage. Hope you have many happy miles with her. I am happy to be helpful. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
Hello from U.S. This is a good review. Your english is excellent. My father-in-law just bought a 2019 Kia. It is very nice. I am very impressed. The price was excellent.
Thank you Ron tuning in from US. Yes, Kia has come a long way. I mean not only quality but pricing is also great. Thank you.
Looks worlds better than last year's. Thanks for the video!
Thank you!!!
Great video, and awesome updates by Kia. We have a 2017 Sportage fleet car and even though it’s just a gasoline 1.6 manual, it is VERY well equipped. I am impressed with the refinement every time I drive it, both in urban areas and on the highway. Lane-keep assist, safety systems, electronic everything, CarPlay, and the one that pisses off execs driving mid-spec German cars (I live in Germany): HEATED STEERING WHEEL. For some reason it’s not standard on MB/Audi/BMW, but our Kia came with it!!
Thank you Karol for tuning in and sharing your ideas.
Straight from NYC... I like your videos, even though I don't own a Hyundai. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Maximus for tuning in all the way from NYC. We see you again. From Seoul.
Nice review Charlie! I would definitely buy the 2L with the 8 speed. I love that power!
Yes, i am do love the power from 2 liter diesel and plus mpg is not the far off compared to 1.6L diesel. So i would choose 2.0 diesel myself.
im using 2015 tucson, nothing much can say.. it is superb for me. korean car now, among the top car automaker.
Thank you for your comment.
Your review is really good. Comprehensive yet straight to the point. Keep the great job up!
Thank you Ary for supporting us!
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.
I love this car, I bought mine in november 2016, it's an EX model, gasoline/alcohol, 2.0L, blue like this.
Thank you for tuning in. Great that you like our review. Hope to show you guys more cars. Thank you.
I like the no nonsense straight to the point review, thanks.
Thank you Alan for watching our Kia Sportage review!
Thanks for the great video really enjoyed it.
Thank you so much Mr. Happens.
The front is awsome in the updated version. Honest review! Thnx
Thank you so much Myra. Please share our channel with your friends for we are just getting started. Thank you.
Love the look of this kia sportage great front end too, getting one of these in a couple of years because my kids be too tall for the back of my mustang i have in a couple of years so this kia looks like my first choice of suv 👌👌👍 good review
Thank you for enjoying our Kia Sportage review.
So far ok. You do more review on the outside and inside so that we know what are the changes and the boot space.
Okay, Thank you Chan for tuning in!
Nice review.
That climbs up in speed pretty well! I love the car
Yes, turbo is really quite fun to drive. Thank you for tuning in.
Good review. Could you talk more about how it drives and how it rides? Is it quiet on the hwy? How’s does it compare to the Tuscan and which one would you choose? Thanks
It drives very well. Cabin is nicely isolated even better than VW Tiguan. Handling wise Tucson is better i think. Sportage is a bit more soft. I would choose Tucson just because i like design better. Thank you.
I took delivery of mine 3 weeks ago. I have the level 2. Inside is very roomy and extremely comfortable as driver or passenger. The drive is very smooth and quiet. Holds well on the road when wet. The media system is excellent as is the sat nav. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this car to anyone. Excellent quality which of course has the standard KIA 7 year guarantee
wow really good review, well done.
thank you!
I bought this Kia Sportage and it'll be ready for me next week. It's not too expensive and looks nice. I can't wait to drive it 🥰
Congratulations Jay on your new car. Have a safe and fun time with your new car!
Asian Petrolhead Thank you! I got it earlier than expected and it's so fun to drive! I used to drive a Honda Accord so I'm still getting used to it.

Really nice car and great review!
Thank you Mr. Morales.
That’s the 2020 Sportage . The 2019 had an available 2.0 Lt Turbo 237 Hp , base motor was the 2.4Lt 181Hp. No Diesel option here . 🇨🇦
Hi Mr. Wort. Yes, without diesel is better for the environment. Thank you!
Just got the sportage 2019 today love the car used to have the 2010 Kia forte love the new car way better
Yes, Sportages are very practical cars. thank you.
@@AsianPetrolhead thanks for responding I will recomed your videos to anyone that is thinking of buying a new car
I used to use a 2017 sportage and those things are really fast however for USA market I wound not buy with all those speed limit everywhere.... anywhere else it’s a blast to drive
Yes, suv can be quite fast these days. Thank you.
The Nav screen @ 4:06 looks better as an embedded unit, more cohesive vs most of the other automakers who have it sit on top of the dashboard, imo..
I prefer the floating navigation, but i must agree with you that the embedded unit on this Sportage is both clean and easy to read. Thank you
@@AsianPetrolhead sure...personal preference. I can see the advantages of having it higher on the dash so your eyes dont veer too much off the road. It looks good on BMWs too. Great vid
It is reasonably priced for such high quality and eye-catching design!
Yes, you know Hyundai and Kia is known for reasonable pricing. thank you for tuning in Philkotse and please do support us by subscribing. thank you
Very good review… driving a cerato 2019 next car , will be an sportage definitely !!!
Thank you Ashutosh for enjoying the Kia Sportage review.
@@AsianPetrolhead your welcome
I have a 2018 Sportage LX. I like the new facelift...Maybe the 2019 is what l need!
Well. Smalls changes makes car look more mature. Thanks Charles.
I'm not sure about other countries, but in the US for 2020 the Sportage has a better looking front end with front wheel drive than the front end with All Wheel Drive. I understand it is because of the front end approach for the AWD. These cars, like most in the US will not see off road driving. Just my opinion.
Yes, Barry. thank you for your opinion. AWD systems used to be only good for off roading. But recent AWD systems really do have great affect on stability and even handling. So, i would be glad to have it as an option for my own SUV. thank you.
Which is better,sportge or tucson?
How is the cabin and road noise of Sportage? Did you feel any vibrations on the floor while driving the car? Thanks and more power to ur channel.
Thakn you J. B. for sending power to our chanel. This Kia Sportage was quite and didn't feel much vibration coming from the bottom. Thank you.
I had a 2.0 petrol about a year now. Happy with it although is not most powerful engine around.
Yes, 2.0T is plenty powerful for this Kia Sportage. Thank you Anderson. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing to our channel. Thank you.

Thank you, sir! 👍👍👍
Beautiful car, great review
Thank you Jure for tuning in & we are just getting started so please share our channel with your friends. Thank you.
I like exterior of new Sportage and interior of new Tuscon.
Wow what a sharp comment. I feel the same too. Thank you.
UPDATE: The Chicago Auto Show debut the 2020 Kia Sportage for the North America. This model will have the updated interior and exterior you showed in this video. I knew Kia Sportage sells wasn't that good for 2018 in North America, so I figured they would not make changes until they moved some of those 2018 and 2019 models off the dealer's lots. It's actually a smart move because the dealer can sell you a 2018 model by showing the 2019 model didn't have any interior or exterior changes and then they could offer you a great deal on the 2018. We well get the 2020 Kia Sportage as a mid season upgrade this summer.
I love the improvements of the 2019 Kia Sportage, especially the front grill and Porsche like daytime LED lights. I want one, however I'm wondering why these updates didn't make it to North America. I notice the updates in Korea, Australia and United Kingdom but not in North America. Canada and the United States are carrying over the 2018 model year with no changes for 2019. I'm wondering why we didn't get the updates for 2019. You're very knowledgeable do you have an answer why? Please advise.
Quntico thank you so much for your kind support. I think they are working to bring the facelift to North American markets. As of now, i do not have answer for you. But i will ask Kia representative next time. Hope they do bring the bold soon, because it does look much more mature. Thank you.
Great job with the video. Thanks! And "Big Ass" sunroofs rule! Haha....
yeah
I like all your reviews. Would you pick the Sportage over the SsangYong Korando? Sportage with a 2.0L diesel and the Korando with a 1.6L diesel.
Well, it is hard to say, because one chooses a car from design, power, effieicency and pricing, so i can't really talk for you. thanks David.
@@AsianPetrolhead i appreciate your response
Thats a very nice car good review
Thank you Toti. Glad you like the review!
Front design is more aggressive, I like.
Yes, indeed, few changes made a big difference!
Great review, what color is that called?
Thanks.
Hello, MooEssa, this one is called Mercury Blue. Thank you for tuning in
This could become KIA’s best selling car if they could get the miles per gallon up, include surround view like the Optima. Sorento, and Cadenza, and put money into advertising. I’ve driven the 2.0 turbo and it’s very fast. It’s also one of the least reliable KIA according to Consumer Reports here in the U.S..
We hope they do sell a lot of them. Seems like a very nice car in great value. Thank you for tuning gin
The 2.0 turbo petrol is the fastest among the 3 engine choices right?
Well. I have not tried 2.0t yet but 2.0d is faster than 1.6d. I have to get back to you after drivinh 2.0t. Thank you.
I have a 1.6 diesel model,is it possible to put android auto? Didnt come as standard. Ty
you know i think i tester only had Apple CarPlay. Sorry, can't remember.
I bought one, loving it in blizzard weather USA.
Thank you for tuning in. I am sure it would be lovely in USA. Thank you
@Doug Brown much better than my previous 4x4 Jeep Renegade 2016... I got the 2.4L in Pacific blue also. The metal flake is sexy deep in the blue too. So far, great vehicle.
Charlie I have a request. Can you do a review of the Toyota C-HR?
We do not have C-HR in Korea at the moment, but when we do, i will sure give it a shot. Thank you !
Front is lovely and sporty now , the front revision was due because before was love it or hate it
Hi maikel. Yes, little changes made big improvements, right? Glad you like it.
You do realize that the Tucson also comes with a 2.0L Diesel option right?
Oh yes, i know. Even Sportage comes with 2.0L diesel. thanks
Hi Charlie! Could you perform a test drive with a Sportage 1.6 CRDI HP 136 HP mild hybrid? Thanks
Unfortunately, we do not have mild hybrid system here in Korea. Thank you.
@@AsianPetrolhead I can't believed... Korea is one of the most technological countries in the world...
Hi, could you do a review of the Kia Stonic 1.0 T-GDI with the DCT gearbox please! Thank you!
We will try. Thanks for tuning in!
I like the 4th gen design. Even tho it kinda look like a toad in the front.
Only Con that i found on 4th gen sportage is the boot space. Down sizing from 564liters to 491 is quite much as a great dane owner.
TOAD. yeah! LOL. Thanks for enjoying our Kia Sportage review!
9.4 to 100 km/hr (about 60 mph) is slower than I expected for a 2.0L turbo and a smaller vehicle.
I know right? I thought it would be faster. But i guess they had to think about efficiency as well.
That was a diesel pretty sure the 2l gas will be faster
Does it have memory seats ? Which market does this particular car belong ? I noticed some extra feautures on this car
Yes, i think it did have memory seats. It belongs to Korean market. Thank you for tuning in. And please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
Hey man, if you would buy something, would you get this over the tucson?
Well, i personally like the design of Tucson. But very similar car.
@10:03... that sure is some BIG ASS panoramic sunroof man.. hahaha!
Yes, it is huge. thanks for tuning in and please do support us by subscribing. thanks
I've been a subscriber buddy! = ) yea that's right!.. i've been following almost every single video reviews of yours man.
I have the same car ans you make me learn more about it
Why are there no diesel or turbo diesel engine choices in the US?
Probably due to air quality control issues. Thanks for tuning in.
Hi, could you please tell me what tyres are on this model thankyou
Our tester was wearing Kumho tires (Crugen Premium LK33 - 245/45R19) Thank you
The 'dual exhaust' on this model is fake, you can tell by the way they're integrated in the rear bumper. Only the 2L diesel Gt Line has actual exhaust tips hanging from the muffler, same for gasoline
Thank you Smug for the correction.
I like the Niro EV but I wish they made the Sportage EV as well.
Yeah. Sportage EV and Tucson EV will sell like hotcakes. Thank you.
Faster than Tuscon, and looks much better, as it has for years..and the cockpit is more driver-centric...without a floating screen, as the new Tuscon now has.We have no diesels here in US, and the turbo GDIs are standard.
Oh you are from the States. I am curious how you feel about Korean SUVs in general. Thanks for tuning in.
@@AsianPetrolhead I love Hyundai /Kia autos. Their reliability and evolution into the 3rd biggest auto group is exceptional. Just within the past 10 years, like many things Korean, the new N performance line, and Genesis luxury segments, are on par with Japanese heavyweights like Honda and Toyota. But, for the income restricted, like me, I am very happy to see affordable hatches, or small CUV's like the Soul, that have a long term reliable car that I have access to and another choice that matches with the best of Japan.
Diesels are not prevelant, but are available usually in European models...but after VW Group's Dieselgate...their marketing of fuel efficient TDIs,etc. was a bust here. Although. I did hear of Hyundai/Kia creating an engine that uses a new mixture of gas and diesel..!! I haven't heard anymore , but the Kona EV, is a great product.
Yes Hyundai and Kia came a long way. I hope they can do better with Genesis. So we can see more upscale and efficient cars. Thank you.
Please, could you ask Kia, if they will send off this diesel model to Brasil?
I will. Hope they sell diesel models soon in Brazil. Thank you.
@@AsianPetrolhead please, may I ask you about how to use properly the automatic transmission ?
Should I use it in "N" position when I stop in a light signal or heavy traffic jam, please? Will it damage it ?
Thanks in advanced
I like the look of the front.
Yes the horizontal chrome strip makes the car look wider. Thanks.
The color is dark bleu ? It’s super in reality?
Yes, it was sort of dark blue. Yes, this new Kia Sportage looked great in this blue. Thank you SAhibi. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
Bought the car today. Thanks
Congratulations on your new car. Have fun!
Its nice miniSuv car.But dislike of dis car is the front grill facelift not masculine looks...And also my friend has dis car.He complain dat ders a blindspot in side mirror.not seen clear because of big cover.thats all ty."nice review i subcribe alridy.
Thank you Leonardo for tuning in and commenting.
Any sorento drive videos? Watching from Malaysia👏👏
Not yet, we will make more review, thank you Sam from Malaysia~
The spoetage is way better than the Tucson
Thank you Stephen for sharing. Happy New Year.
how so, i thought they have the same components, just diferent design?
I couldn't see that headlight in US models.
I just looked at the US homepage and i don’t think they have the facelift version yet. Thank you.
KIA & HYUNDAI =Reliability
thanks for tuning in.
well, this sucks. Korea has an 8 speed automatic transmission while USA goes back to a 6 speed because well....it works(and its better than the CVT). I understand that we may not sell as many to recoup the costs, but come on. KIA already makes the dang parts.
Well, hope they bring 8 speed, it is nice unit. Thank you
You said 18.6 liters on the highway. Did you mean 8.6/100 km?
On the highway, i was just crusing between 90-100km/h for about 30km. And yes 18.6km/l. Thanks for tuning in.
18.6KM per Liter to be correct.
Nice Video, here is México we have for the top model @ 2.4 lts 188CV petrol enginee... I dont no, why is not sale a turbo engine.
Maybe government regulations and laws maybe? Or it could be they want to keep the price competitive in Mexico. Thanks for Lino for tuning in all the way from Mexico.
@@AsianPetrolhead Kia had 5 years selling cars here in MX, and right now cars and pricing is very competetive. Thanks for answer!! ✌
When the Kia Niro EV and the Kona EV ?
We get the test drive of Niro EV and Kona EV ASAP. Thank you.
Hello, what’s the best, most effective, stunning color for this updated 2019 Sportage?
I liked the tester, too. But i like the white one the most. Thank you.
Asian Petrolhead I like the white one too. Thanks. 👍😊
More body role than I would like.
Well, Tucson handled a bit better.
Nice facelift
Thank you.
I have purchased this model Oct 2018 and found that the car seat heating system is slowly destroying the leather seat. After three weeks I returned the car and had both front seats replaced. After two weeks the new ones were just as bad The seat base goes all soggy and sunken. I would not buy another one.
Sorry to hear that. I hope they do fix those long term issues. Thank you for sharing George.
I have the same problem
guess your out of luck if you don't want a turbo, their on just about every new car sold today,uggh
Yes, it seems like makers are forced to turbo charge their cars to boost up mpg and meet smog regulations. Thanks for tuning in.
hows the fuel consumption?
Well, it's diesel so it's very efficient. And let me give you the official. This Kia Sportage will return about 29.1mpg with 2.0D AWD with 19inch rims. So, it's pretty good. Thanks Ted. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
Skid plate?, mmmm smart thinking.
Curtis, you know it's still an SUV. Thank you for tuning in~
What is your height?
6.2 or 187cm. Thank you Pujan for tuning in
Is the us getting this facelift?
I hope you do, where are you from?
Probably , the US spec refresh should be coming this year. The current models been out since 2015.
Only Korean Spec will be that good , for export to Malaysia will have big difference spec. quick disappointed
Well, i hope they do bring cars fully loaded to Malaysia as well. Thank you.
Sportage wouldve been my first choice if it wasnt for that ugly front. Good personality though. Im getting the 2019 Tucson.
I love Tucson, too. More clean and concise. Happy New Year!
Wake up. The headlight is strikingly similar to Ferrari Portofino. The cost is valuable for the european design.
I love it
Thank you Michael.
Veryy Nice Kia SUV 👌

I test drove sx turbo version is FAST
Oh, i bet it is. Thanks for tuning in Olof
I have sportage 2016 lts good car my favorite
Kia Sportage has been always
Good cars. Thanks.
While I said that the Sportage looks like a frog, I forgot to mention that we are a KIA FAMILY. We bought our first KIA Sorento in 2004. That was followed by a Spectra, then two gorgeous Optima’s. We have made it back to a 2017 SORENTO. So my comment was as a family member, not as an insult. I apologize if it sounded as such. Thank you. Corina K
Oh none taken. It does really look like a frog. But the horizontal chrome stripes do make that frogness a bit less. Thank you Corina.
I laughed out loud at the frog part.
is this guy 7 ft tall or is this vehicle sitting very low?
I am 6.2 sorry~
