The Hybrid part is good; The Kia part is terrible
By Wild Bill | on Friday, July 18, 2025
We’ve owned our Sportage HEV for 2 years. In that two years, we’ve had the car at the dealership several times for things that fall under warranty….but what fun is it to have the following replaced on a garage-kept, hand washed, meticulously maintained car: door handle replacement, headlight replacement, rear hatch lock replacement. Now that the car has 30K miles, it’s time for another headlight replacement, another door handle replacement and the turbo is malfunctioning. The dealership assures us that everything is fine but I will not be purchasing another Kia. We love the hybrid feature. We do not enjoy the lackluster sound system and terrible build quality. Eight trips to the shop to have things fixed in the first 2 years isn’t my idea of a good vehicle.… - 4.0
2025 Sportage X-Line Limited
By Chipman | on Saturday, May 31, 2025
Like the styling although that is subjective. Appreciate all the tech and safety features. Interior appears upscale. Gas milage is as advertised. But the options...(wow) Auto sensing wipers, auto dimming headlights, fog lights - everything LED. Heated and cooled from seats (heated only in rear). Adaptive cruise (can be set to standard mode), Lane Keep Assist, fwd collision alert, heated windshield, Harmon Karmon sound, Panoramic roof...and the list goes. Surround view monitor, front and rear parking sensorsPlenty of storage space those for long road trips. (Very comfortable seats.). AWD with a variety of drive modes...and the list goes on. Ride is extremely comfortable. My question is do we need to make a decion based upon the 2 sec delay beween 7.1 to 60, and 9.1 to 60? (I did give it 4 stars based on performance) This is not a sports car. Never have problems either in town or on highway. Easy to keep up with trafic. Above all - Comfort, conveniences, and space. And all under $40,000. Many will not purchase it - but it is well worthy of consideration - a worthy competitor in a growing and crowded field. Kia as come a long way in recent years..…
