Just got myself a 3 year old Sportage and still have the next 4 years warranty, absolutely outstanding! Beautiful looking car too!

One of the best car reviewers on YouTube easily and I check a lot of reviewers. I like how you really drive the cars to it’s limits, the driving part should be number 1.

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

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.

Looks worlds better than last year's. Thanks for the video!

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

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.

im using 2015 tucson, nothing much can say.. it is superb for me. korean car now, among the top car automaker.

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!!

Just got the sportage 2019 today love the car used to have the 2010 Kia forte love the new car way better

Nice review Charlie! I would definitely buy the 2L with the 8 speed. I love that power!

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.

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..

Your review is really good. Comprehensive yet straight to the point. Keep the great job up!

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 🥰
