You r great…. May I suggest wiping off your camera lense prior to taping as it’s usually a bit blurry due to it being smudged… Crisp viewing is a must with these pretty cars…😉

sport mode in my telluride is HILARIOUS! makes me giggle every time. A 3 row suv has no business being that agressive and sporty feeling LOL. I love it.

Hey Gabby, you're wicked helpful and I subsequently pulled the trigger on a 2024 Tucson PHEV, about a month ago.
I LOVE IT
One thing I notice is that there is a real learning curve. For example, I'm a bit weirded out by how high it revs (stays in a low gear) in ECO - HEV mode. Not that I care, (I live and work in Scarborough so my commutes are small and within the 50km EV) But I anticipate running out of EV juice half way between here an Muskoka. Any tips?

I’m sold. This will be my next vehicle, and trading in my gas guzzling Type S 😩

This was exactly what I needed. I had no idea what those different driving modes would mean, and how they would be best used. Thank you. I think I will live in Smart Mode

[grayerthangreen]

You make such great and useful videos!

[stephenwinter]

Thanks for the video my sister lives in Vancouver and she bought the kia sportage hybrid SX

[OmarLozada]

Is there a way to set my preferences fixed so I don't have to change from eco to smart every single time I turn on the car?
That would be helpful.
Thank you for your help.

I have a 2019 Hyundai ioniq hybrid. Not a plug in. I found that driving sports mode, it charges the battery faster.

Do you advice I drive sports mode to fully charge the battery, and then switch over to eco mode? Or just stick to eco mode let the battery charge at its own pace?

[smiledLand]

Hi. I know PHEV on Sportage has EV-mode only and MHEV doesn't have it at all... what about HEV?
I'm waiting your reply ASAP! Thank you in advance!

Brantford Kia and Gabi: I really enjoy your videos and find them useful and informative. Please tell me you have a sister Kia dealer in the lower 48. 🤠

It's a general description but it doesn't really explain how to get efficiency. I have been driving a sportage for 6000 miles & was hoping to see if anyone picked up what I have joined about the SUV.

[cassieb]

I would like to know if you can change the mode from ECO to Sport mode when you are driving or do you have to wait till your stopped to change the Mode?

[wendywhite]

What about the Kia Niro? It has these modes too and I'm trying to get that stuff figured out

[sansinutube]

Should have mentioned how to control regenerative braking levels.

[WiljanWiljan]

Thanks but can you do a video on the Kia Niro Hybrid as well, but also how to achieve the lowest possible fuel consumption

[danielmoges]

I just got my sportage hybrid sx. Drove it for couple days. I’m not getting anywhere near 38 mpg or 6.1L/100km. I’m getting 8.9 since refueling and 9.3L/100. It’s just guzzling the gas right now. Should I take it back for check up?

[msmacky]

Are there any Kia models besides the Niro that actually run on either Gas or Electricity?

[hellspawn]

Thanks professor for the quick lesson 😆

[brianbardin]

Are these tachometer's only a Canada thing, because it seems like the US model is all digital numbers and not the tachometers
