Glad you enjoyed the video , it is a really good looking car and love all of the tech as well. Something you are considering or like me a petrol head that loves things on 2 or 4 wheels
@@DamoDrives Hi. Thanks very much for the reply. I had a test drive on the regular hybrid and totally agree with you and intend to buy one (need to decide between that and the PHEV though). I love the tech and style plus, for an SUV, it drives really rather well. It’s not like my GT86 of course (yep, I love cars too). 😊👍
They are great cars with loads of tech as well. Unless you a desperate for a new car might as well hang on as you have managed 6 months. Have been told with other manufacturers (especially BEV models) 12-18 months. Not sure how they can release a new model year of people are waiting over a year as everyone would cancel and want the next model 🤔
Hi. Is this the GT Line or the GT Line S you are testing? The display screen on the right looks different? The car looks excellent to drive. Nice review....
@@DamoDrives you haven't reviewed many EVs yet. In Sept I decided petrol was getting too pricey and only going up. I've got two of them now a 71plate Mokka-e and a 71 plate Fiat 500e. Both claim to have 200m range wltp and cost is about the same but they're quite different animals.
It’s trying to get hold of cars for me as manufacturers currently do not think the channel has enough reach but trying. Took the Cupra born to a car meet today and then a Spirited drive.
Over the very short period of time no but it is difficult and frustrating did not have very much battery as the other reviewers had used it. Like the looks , Tech, comfort so a really good car all round
You must remember I was not the 1st person driving the car and a number of journalists had been out in it already. I would think it the real world it would be be very different
@@Baldy444have you tested it yourself? Cause i ordered one now(with estimated delivery on September 24) and i was curious if its true. 42 miles its a very decent range.
Really useful review. Car looks excellent. Thanks !

That’s renewed my interest, I was thinking of cancelling mine, due to the very very long weigh! but will persevere, I’ve waited nearly 6 months!

What's a "long weigh"?

And the seat too. This is GT Line.
What is the music track on the start of the video?
The water sound is because you pressed the Media button. Thank God you never selected Fireside ........... you'd have got the extinguisher out.
I know , was just a little unusual
I want one now lol great colour to
A really good vehicle, looks good and I love tech so perfect. Needed to spend a bit more time with it to get a proper idea
Great colour to what?
Nice review
Howard Glad you enjoyed it

Is this turning to transmission mode if you push a little on pedal while in EV mode ? Thanks
What's the mileage on pure EV mode?
Was there anything you didn't like about the Kia Sportage GTLine S PHEV?

@DamoDrives I've had one on order since June, delivery April 2023, hopefully. That's a long time to wait.
Hi is that meant to be the GT line S
That’s what I was told although a long time ago
5 minutes driving and no battery power left, what’s the point ?
You must remember I was not the 1st person driving the car and a number of journalists had been out in it already. I would think it the real world it would be be very different
When fully charged you can drive up to 43 miles on EV only
