I understand the 2 spots on top and the stow away spot under the floor. Why would you move it to the spot just on top of the floor? It sounds like a useless spot.
Depend what your carrying.
I liked the 2 pieces of string that lifted it when you opened the boot. Created a problem that didn’t need fixing!
Just a storage position to avoid storing it in garage, i prefer the good old firm parcel shelf which lifts with the boot/trunk opening and easily removable if needed.
Not the first tip from you I've found helpful with my recently purchased Kia Niro 3 EV - thanks. My wife's small wheelchair, even when folded in the boot/trunk, prevents the cargo cover being installed, and it sat unwanted in our front porch. Now it is stored safely in the car, available to be used if it should be needed - much more satisfactory. BTW, my son purchased the same car a year ago, and was about to purchase a trickle charger lead for around £250 when I told him about the spare wheel space you mentioned in one of your videos. He investigated and found the trickle charge lead supplied with the car that he did not know was there!
Oh man! I'm glad I could help, I'm sorry that you didn't have this information earlier! Thanks for watching!
That’s a very clever solution to the cover being in the way more than it’s useful. First thing I’ve always done with those covers is take them out and put them in the garage. Then they sit there till I sell the car
Same
Same 🤣
Have the same thing in my 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. Bought it the car used with no cover. Bought the cover at Amazon, a lot cheaper than getting it at Hyundai.
Neat, wish all such covers has those options.
I have a 2017 KIA Sportage and will be checking out the storage area for the cover today. Thank you for this video.
It not a white balance issue, it is overexposure. Switch camera to manual exposure and adjust for person talking or limit amount of light hitting subject.
Wow! Super helpful. I didn't know about the lower storage feature under the floor in my Sportage. Thanks.
Awesome! I'm glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!
??? Where do American buyers buy their cars? At an car dealer in Europe you get and app 1 hr instruction when you buy a new car and you can read the manual (mostly stored in the glove box, if you are able to read)
@@steffenrosmus9177 When we deliver a vehicle here, we allow the customer to take as much or as little time as they want with us. I promise you that your dealer didn't show you everything that I could have shown you, and it's entirely possible to get great instruction, read every page in the owner's manual, and still not retain every piece of information. Let's give people a bit of a break, and not criticize too much.
I have a toyota rav4, and it has that cargo cover and the hidden compartment. I'll tell you, with all the neat little hidden features the only one that I love the most is the fact that my fishing poles fit perfect down in that hidden compartment! I also modified the clips that clip on to the back seat headrests to be a little tighter so I can toss a pole on top of that. my tackle box fits perfect down the hidden compartment also. NEVER buy a vehicle your poles won't fit in! words of wisdom :)
Very helpful, thanks. I've purchased two Sportages and I'm very impressed with the features, attention to detail and equipment ranges. I had a Vauxhall before the Sportages and in my opinion there is no comparison. Kia cars are the real deal, Vauxhalls you pay (over the odds) for the badge.
Kia's have come a long ways! They're great value vehicles with great features! Thanks for watching!
I just tried it on my 2019 Soento and it worked perfectly..Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for these tips they’re always helpful. 😊
I guess I'm not a smart arse like some of your f***wit know-it-alls, but appreciate the reveal. If I am carrying a lot of gear where the luggage profile goes above the cargo cover, its nice to know I can store the cover under the floor and not bury it in my garage, never to be found again. Thanks, for taking the time to make the video 👍
Genius. I had no idea!
Sweet! I'm glad this helped!
Had no idea! But also have a Niro PHEV so 50/50 for me. Great tips!
Yeah, the Niro PHEV has that 12 Volt battery there, so it doesn't make space for this.
I have learned so much from your videos because my 2022 Kia Sportage EX did not have any. Do you know where I can purchase them? The downloaded version is too small for my eyes to read. Thanks in advance and will check out more of your videos. Looking for how to start your vehicle from my key fob 🤞💙
My question is, are these features in the owners manual, if they are then it is proof the people don't read the manual? They only consult it to do some lookup if there is a problem when the car won't start.
I have worked for kia for years and did not this. It’s a great way to move it out if the way if need be while traveling or without storing it in the garage to collect dust.
Did not know about the under floor stowage in my 2019 Tucson.
Thanks for the additional info Peter!
Thanks for watching!
I like your feature where if you lose your key, you can start the car with a USB plug. KIA has thought of everything!
How
Helpful. Thank you. Didn’t know.
Have a 2019 santa fe and my blind has lived under the floor since I purchased new as I use all of the 7 seats, btw other than the under floor square holes , there are only the two under the window, no holes above the floor
Do the headrests on the new kia sportage ajust forwards and backwards .??or just up and down
Also true for Hyundai and already knew. But many don't read the book or have a decent salesperson.
My son picked up my Hyundai for me used from a private seller several states away (LA to IN), so a lot of information never got communicated. This is helpful. Thanks.
Remeber, this trunk curtain has two purpose:
1- hise stuff for potential thieves;
2- retain stuff in case of an accident. Even at mid speed, you'll be suprised how stuff fly around in a car and you'll be suprised what velocity can do to "harmless" things lie a tissue box...
I don't know what that mounting spot is for ABOVE the storage spot though.
I did know from Evolution. On the niro EV the cover has to be turned so that the pull out side is facing the front of the car.
Very useful. Thank you. I didn’t know this
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
My car is a 2017 Kia Sportage GT line and i cannot lower the bottom boot floor nor can I store the cover below it as it's hitting the spare wheel. FYI the spare wheel is 245 45 R19
My friend just purchased a 2019 Sorento, I have to check his cargo area to see if it has the hidden storage area or not.
When I pull on any panels….the clip always breaks off….
So, the big secret is that you can move it to other positions, the reason for which is not clear, or you can hide it away and forget about it under the floor ? Glad I watched now.
Exactly what I was thinking. They didn’t cover the fact that I can take it off and put it in my garage 😂
I've been hiding mine under a blanket. I feel such a fool now!
or I could have put it in Gordon Robb's garage.
A lot of people didn't know about the under floor location. A lot of people didn't realize that it had multiple positions at all. I just made the video to do my job to help people, I'm not sure if it's fair to fault me that it doesn't help you.
@@BrantfordKia what the point of putting it in the lower position?
Thanks for this video but the spare tire doesn't allow the cargo to fit! I have this problem with KIA Sportage 2021!
In Canadian vehicles, the cargo cover will still fit, but we have a space saving spare tire. If you're from somewhere else, it may be different.
I got a 2007 with 3rd row seat, and with this slide shade in place you can't pull up 3rd row seat because it hits.. have to take out until you fold 3rd row down..
I knew about all of those except for the under-floor one. Though, I do also use those sides for other things... pull the side floor panel out, and that is the perfect size to keep a gallon of washer fluid from flying all over the place.
Awesome! Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
Was expecting something amazing when i read the title. ZZZZzzzzzzzzz.
Good job with this video. Do you know which 2024 Kia Seltos models include a cargo cover?
Secret hidden floor panels, this is more exciting than a Harry Potter Novel.
Kia Niro and Chamber of Storage! by JK Rowling! Let's be honest, if it was titled like that, it would have a million views by now!
In Australia the Sportage comes with a full size spare so can't stick it under the load cover. I wish i could as it now just lives in a corner in the garage.
Ah! yes. I'm hearing from a lot of Australians who can't do this because of the full-size spare.
Great option so that the cover can be onboard even when unused and available to utilise and not be left at home
Knew about this and have taken advantage of it often. Thanks for the tutorial and great job, Peter.👍💯
Thanks for watching!
You would think that this would be in the Owner's manual. Cutting corners?
I didn’t know you could stow it underneath the floor on the Niro Hybrid, thanks for that Peter 👍
I'm glad you found this useful! Thanks for watching!
Sadly my PHEV does not do this, however, I check my '08 Toyota Highlander and it does! I never knew that.. lol
Thanks for the tips. Very helpful. My 2024 Sportage Hybrid did not come with a cover. Can get one at Amazon for $99.
What? I didn't know that. I'll have to check my 06 Highlander. I put my cover in the shed when we got the car 🤔
You’re just watching Kia videos for fun(Don’t worry I do it too) as a Highlander owner?!
Everybody practice this with me... "I love my new Kia". You better get used to saying that, we have a LOT of former Toyota buyers who say this now. (myself included!)
@@BrantfordKia been a Kia lover since 2015
@@HD_Kerino Don't you just love those Highlanders? By the way, that tonneau cover fits under the floor in front of the bumper. Go figure 🧐
@@BrantfordKia Scotty Kilmer says they suck 😂😇
Very useful bit of info
They need to make the cover sit a little higher, my cooler does not fit under it and when we had our Sorento I could not use it and now the Sportage the cover will not work.
Is there a cargo cover that will cover the entire cargo area when the back seats are folded down?
I liked the 2 pieces of string that lifted the shelf when you opened the boot. They solved a problem that didn’t need fixing!
Just bought a 2024 Kia Sorento Hybrid, I never knew about the handy trick. Thanks.
Cool
Very helpful. Thank you
Thank you so much for the useful lecture given on the cargo rear cover. It was useful to me.
Knew about this, and in fact, it's one of the main reasons I purchased a Kia Optima, for the load cover stow-ability. Something not even my Ford Mondeo or Skoda superb could even do!
Nice! We only have the Optima sedan here, so we have never seen this in an Optima.
The kia optima wagon is very stylish and european looking.
@@zooks3894oh yeah! I've seen it in pictures and I feel like it was the best looking version of the vehicle!
@@BrantfordKia i agree! Its a smart looking vehicle.
The sales persons should be telling any purchaser of these models.
Granted second hand market this is helpful.
I think people underestimate the time it would take to PROPERLY go over everything in this vehicle. This isn't something that comes up when customers are focused on learning the tech in their vehicles. I guarantee that 90+ percent of Niro buyers will have at least one feature that they just don't know much about. That's not always the salesperson's fault. People can only take in so much information at a time. Just because a salesperson SHOULD show every feature, doesn't logically mean that every customer will retain everything, or even want to stick around long enough to learn everything.
What a shame you can't talk about a super helpful demobilizing device that comes in several of your vehicles but then again, who the fuck would want to steal a Kia or Hyundai let alone buy one?
Can it be placed under the floor cover if you have a full size spare?
I just bought a 2023 Hyundai Kona. Can I get one of these retractable covers to replace the non-retractable, non-tuckable, non-foldable one that came with the car? I have to look for the little square holes. And by the way, snarksters, not everybody has a garage.
My 2013 Sorento does all but the underfloor position
Hidden panel? Great Idea! My 2010 X3 Cargo Cover has been in my storage unit since day 1.
I've taken a lot of heat for this video from people thinking that I shouldn't have bothered with filming this, so thanks for recognizing that this is useful, and maybe a helpful video.
The hidden method won't work with 2025 Sorento Hybrid because there is a 12v battery in the way under a plastic cover. All the other methods work.
Underfloor storage worked on my 2019 Sorento. Not on my 2022 Sorento PHEV.
Thinking to buy 2022 sorento PHEV. How do you like lit so far? Can tell me what you don't like
@@sunset8966 Have had it for 3 weeks and 500 miles. In US. SX-Prestige model. Third Sorento in a row: 2015, then a 2019. Other Kias: 2009 Rondo, 2017 Soul EV, and 2019 Niro EV. Other cars in that stretch: 2011 Jetta SportWagen TDI, 2011 Mini Cooper, and 2017 Mazda CX-5.
Love it so far. As far as the drive, it’s great. Powerful enough, smooth enough, and agile enough. As far as the looks, mine is white and I love it. Interior is really nice. Everyone fawns over the vents, but I find that their location and adjustability leave a little something to be desired. Kids love the second row heated captain’s chairs, but I would have rather had a second row bench. It’s way more “tech forward” than the 2019, which makes things a little cumbersome, but it’s easy enough to figure out. I wish it had wireless
Apple CarPlay. My 2019 had rain-sensing wipers, and this one doesn’t. Only a small loss. In some other countries there’s a HUD. I don’t miss it (my wife has it in her Mazda), but some folks might. I like all the safety kit, with one possible exception: That thing where the blind spot gets displayed on the dash. It might be useful in highway or dense urban driving, but in just driving around in the suburbs it’s distracting, and I turned it off.
The fuel economy has been staggering, and we’re still breaking it in. I’m getting 60mpg overall. And the transition between propulsion systems is incredibly smooth.
The third row is for occasional use, which is exactly what I want it for. Note that the side curtain airbags DO NOT protect third-row passengers. I didn’t want, and don’t need, something as big as the Telluride.
Only direct competition coming to US in near term is the Outlander PHEV. The timing didn’t work for me, and I’m a bit of a Kia fan, and I just can’t get past the Mitsubishi’s looks, but that’s of course subjective.
These are my initial thoughts. Happy to talk more. Good luck in your search.
The cargo cover stows under the floor on my 2014 Outback too, so it may be common to various manufacturers. Doesn't have a position for upright back seats, it has an annoying 4" fixed screen to cover the gap when seats upright. Hyundai's system better, now I just need to source a cover for my 2022 SF. :)
Cargo covers are not included in many new cars and are listed as $200 .
Instead of paying that, I'm using a spare large dark cloth to cover cargo. And make it look like a pile of rags.
I heard thieeves will break into cars just to see whats under the carge cover.
I think that Hyundai have missed a trick - With all the cameras that the Ioniq 5 etc has, why can't they have a integral dash camera?
Underfloor storage doesn't work on the 2023 Australian SX+ version of the Sportage - the full size spare takes up too much space.
My Sportage has a full size spare wheel (not a spacesaver) therefore cannot hide the blind underneath.
that cheap of a cargo cover I had 40 years ago in my car! Shocking for what you have to pay for the sportage, getting that cheap stuff in it.. bothers me a LOT. I know that as soon as I find a better car I am selling the sportage. I miss the good old days, where a Japanese car was the best. Now you get cheap stuff for a high price from Korea..
We bought a 2016 Sorento in 2015, and put the cargo cover under the floor and didnt take it out until so sold it in 2023😂
Doesn't work if you have a full size spare wheel 😢
What size is the width of cargo. I have one that fits 56” across.
Bought my Kia Sportage 3 years ago. Never knew this feature. Thanks.
The old RAV4 (and probably the new one too) also has that storage feature, but NOT if you have a full size spare wheel. :-)
I knew the Rav4 had it, I didn't realize that about the full size spare, but that makes sense.
@@BrantfordKia The RAV4 does however not have the extra square holes (at least not the 3rd gen, up to about 2018). So that is a really nice (and rather common sense I might add) feature in the Hyundai.
@@plonkster Thanks for sharing!
Why is it pronounced Spor-taaache? Any commercial says it sport-tige. Is that a Canadian thing?
Awesome. I have seen some photos of models of the Sportage that have a storage space instead of the spare tire. Do you know which models have this? or is it an add-on option?
My spare tire is underneath the storage tray. Have you tried lifting it out?
My Smart Fortwo has 2 moves. One closed and one open.
And I can take it away... 😂❤
How about the fucking doors locking up , what do you suggest about that safety issue?
Why is there no option to purchase a cargo cover for the Kia 2021 Soul? I can’t find an accessory anywhere. This makes no sense at all especially with the current crime wave. I’m using a black puffer coat, ridiculous!!
All of those positions, and they couldn't have just made a useful cargo shelf instead like the PT Cruiser had over 20 years ago now.
Not available in Hyundai Santa Fe 2022 Plug in Hybrid
Had a look in my 2021 HEV SORRENTO... if the battery and the tool box wasn't there if COULD be stored.
Yes, our PHEV's won't be able to do this right now.
These things are explained in the owner's manual for my Kia
Yup! But not everybody reads that, and some people like to see it on video to understand it.
2022 Niro hybrid , should my petrol access lock when the car is locked?
Thank you...i'm trying to figure out how to remove the cargo cover😅
I have a 2012 Sportage and I cannot get the cargo cover bar out which limits that space.
Use
My Apple Carplay icon is missing on my KIA sportage 2023
I will be sleeping better now knowing this....
Sweet dreams
Does anyone know if a kia sorento (2020) can fit a ninja carpet extractor in the back with the third and second row seats down, with the 25" hose as well? Please let me know
Why are you saying sportage like that? It’s like you are trying to class it up.
Where is the 12-volt battery in the 2022 Sportage Hybrid?
Doesn't work in Australia, we get a full-sized spare tyre!
How about reading the owner's manual in which such "secrets" usually are described? Ahh, I forgot, people cannot read anymore.....
Bro totally agree the book is always better than the movie.
Well damn! Now can you show/tell me how change the horn?
I have no idea how to change the horn! That's not my expertise! (They don't let me work with tools here!)
My 2015 Santa Fe has below floor storage with no panel removal required. Dealer showed me when I took delivery(new) Had a 2007 Subaru Forester before with no storage for cover - a real pain.
What's the purpose of putting the blind on the floor, but not hidden?
You're always bring something new and practical. I've a question for you on my 2023 hybrid sx prestige the woofer speaker on the trunk it's not working and no body from kia dealerships know how to make it work. Do you?
Sal
Thank you so much. I had no idea what those extra slots were before. This was very informative. Keep it up. It would also be awesome if you can teach me some more hidden features of the 2017 Hyundai Tucson because I just bought one and I love it.
I have a ‘17 Tucson and was familiar with this. Kudos to our local sales team.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, a good sales team should know this, but they don't always have time to point out every single possible feature when they're delivering the vehicle. My own dad didn't know that his car did this until well after he bought his car, and I was pretty thorough in going over the features of his car.
I have the 2022 Kia Niro Hybrid, so would you recommend this accessory in case of accident? I don't want to think about totaling my car but some people 😕 drive like their in Nascar so it's a just in case thing. How much is this accessory?
