Wow ! I thought it was the EX model , what a shock to see it’s an LX 4WD !! Nicely equipped .... as usual of course . Great to see videos with the lesser models as they tend to be the volume leaders and the one your more likely to purchase . Keep’em coming !!
My girlfriend has a lease on a 2017 LX Sportage and in June of 2020 the lease is up. So she is considering the 2020 also. She is not interested in the AWD as we live in Florida and snow is not an issue. Her 2017 will have less then 10,000miles on it as it only has 6000 miles on it after 2 years and 2000 of those miles came from driving to Texas and back. We were both pleasantly surprised at the ride and handling of the 2017 on trip. We averaged 34 mpg on the highway at 75 mph.
I’m sure the handle on the passenger side is for something to hold onto in performance situations as the driver has the steering wheel. Not really a design aesthetic thing. Thanks for a good overview.
I want to know why the heat doesn’t work very well for Canadian winters. I just bought a used 2020 Sportage and can’t seem to get the inside to stay warm
Did yours come with a spare tire or a jack? My 2020 Sportage LX didn't have either. They claim it would affect the fuel mileage, how they said that with a straight face is what's amazed me the most.
@@andyv16012 I'm not sure where you bought yours. Some trim lines come with a spare, and some come with an inflator kit. You can get the spare tire through the parts department if that's something that you want. Kia isn't alone in this, many automakers are doing this. Go easy on your salesperson, it's not a dealership decision to equip cars this way. :)
@@BrantfordKia my Salesperson was awesome-shout out to Steve-O, just Kia's rationale behind it (the extra weight affects the fuel mileage, they could've done better than that), was insulting. I'll just get a real wheel/tire setup in a couple months. Unfortunately I have to wait for someone to wreck theirs and buy a matching wheel, tire, jack salvaged for less than what they want for a spare tire set up with a donut tire. I've done the same with all my other cars. Maybe their system will catch on but for my piece of mind (okay fine I'm getting old) I'm not ready to embrace it yet.
I’ve seen pictures of a red 2020 SX with the new headlights which I thought would be on all the trims. The LX you’re showing still has the same as previous Sportages. Curious, will the new headlights be limited to just the SX, or will they be on the EX?
We only have the LX in stock right now. I'll be doing more videos as future trim lines come in, and we'll do a lighting video at some point to show the differences.
Update: This video was done on a LAUNCH EDITION model. The major difference is that the model in the video has the Lane Keeping feature which is not on the base model. Thanks for watching!
@@BrantfordKia are Fog lights standard for the base model? I am currently stationed in Germany looking at a Sportage LX FWD and there are a few for sale but on the car dealership website they don't have fog lights?
Thinking about buy a 2020 kia sportage, but my only issue is that the rear turn signals are very low and not in the backlights. Is this an issue for other drivers? It seems like it would be out of the view to them.
Several manufacturers do this. The signal lights flashing don't seem to be an issue for most people. I've heard people worry about this, but I don't think it's a real issue.
Your comment about "americans pronouncing the name incorrectly in wrong. Americans are actually the only ones saying the name correctly. I grew up in S. Korea pronouncing the name as "americans" do. Seu Po Ti Ji "스포티지" would be is how we spell it and pronounce it
The guy replied to my comment and steered clear of yours. Having worked for Hyundai and meeting the President of the company, you pick up a lot in terms of nomenclature.
Great video! Looks like a nice car. One question- how far back the front passenger seat recline? I want to know does the front passenger seat reclines all the way until it touches the rear seat?
That's a trick question. The seat does go back far enough to touch the back seat, but it depends on how far you slide the seat forward and back. That's the kind of thing where it's best that you swing by your local dealer and try for yourself.
Brantford Kia thanks for the response. I live 3 hours away from the closest Kia dealership. Irrespective of the position, there’s a maximum angle it can recline till when the rear seat is not stopping it to go further. If I can get an approximate angle, will be super helpful before I take that full day trip to a dealership. Thanks.
Hey nice video but wanted to correct you on 2 things... I just bought a 2020 LX AWD and there are NO Lane Assist or Forward Collision Assist security features in the LX model. I was lead to believe there was based on this video. I still love my Sportage but I think you should either make a new video or add a note in the description that those are NOT in the LX model. Thx
This video was done with the launch edition models that had a few extra features. We can't take responsibility for a model that you buy at another dealer, but I will update the description.
@@BrantfordKia I understand that you did the video with a launch edition. And I am not calling you out as lying or anything. But you have to agree that launch models are hardly the models that most buyers will end up with. I would, with all due respect, advise that you mention it right out of the gate that the model you are showing is a launch model and that it might/will have different options by default on it.
In Canada, we have some french pronounciations. So something like taking your canoe on a portage, would sound the same as the way I say Sportage. Again, if you want to argue the pronunciation, this probably isn't the place. I don't make up how to say things, that's the way we're told to say it here.
Hello everyone. I just got a new Kia Sportage 2020 and i love it. I only have one problem, when i connect my phone to the apple Carplay or bluetooth and put music on loud the volume will start dropping like every 3seconds, initially they told me in the dealership that it was because of a feature called “speed dependent Volume Control” but once they turned it off it keep doing it and this was even when i was parked. The lady then took a long time to check the car and came back saying that supposedly there is another safety feature in the car that Apparently if you turn your music too loud the car would turn your volume down to prevent your speakers from blowing up. Then i asked her how to disable this feature and she said there was no way and there was nothing they could do about it. This doesn’t sound right to me and i want to know if anybody else have this issue. I’m really upset about it. Thank you
I've never heard of what you're describing. Occasionally we've seen issues with CarPlay not moving data properly due to a cable that isn't high quality. We always recommend using the cable that came with your phone. That might help? I'm not sure, because, like I said, I haven't heard of what you're talking about.
I'm American and pronounced this Spor-AHG and my kids nearly died of embarrassment lol. The worker at the KIA dealership said it's sportage, not spor-ahg.
I love Americans, some of my best friends are American. But whenever I do a Sportage video (and we make these videos for OUR customers) I get killed in the comments by people telling me that I'm saying Sportage wrong. We do say it differently in Canada, but I have to make these videos for our buyers. :)
I test a sportage with 185 hp and use " sport" mode" , he consume a lot! Is that normal in " sport" mode? And I dont like the handbrake we must handle with leg like in old times why not a electronic in a soo expensive car?
Sport mode will use more fuel than other modes, so that makes sense. Some of the higher trim levels have an electronic parking brake. We're based in Canada, so our trim levels may be different than yours if you're based in another country.
@@BrantfordKia Ok sport mode best mot use, , top model here has electronic handbrake, but is crazy a soo expensive car 2.l motion+ 45.000 dollar not have it, this I try! Ford kuga has on all from 2017, Volvo on all s60 xc60 from 2009...
NO SPARE TIRE OR JACK!!!Just bought a 2020 Sportage, I feel like I've been taken for a ride. Paid 28K for a brand new vehicle that doesn't have a spare tire or a jack! They told me (with a straight face): the spare tire's weight would affect the gas mileage, I made them repeat that twice so I was sure what I was hearing.
Haha! You're not the first person to ask me that. They've never asked for my opinion on design decisions, but if they do, I'll be sure to pass along the feedback that I receive. :)
I live in Canada, this car in the video is already for sale. If you live near Brantford Ontario, give us a call or email us. 519-304-6542 or internetsales@brantfordkia.ca
@@souldoubt00 We are often ahead of Kia.ca as they wait until either the 2019 inventory is sold out, or nearing sold out, or they wait for all dealers to receive a few units before they put it on their site. That makes sense. From a dealers perspective, we don't want people looking for a car online that we can't get in stock yet.
Some models will have the spare tire, some will have the inflator kit. You can always order the spare tire kit with your car. Just let your salesperson know at the time of purchase.
Brantford Kia - The video was great. You do excellent work. The Sportage looks too much like a hatchback for my taste. Kia offers better engine options than Hyundai but the Tucson looks better.
Sport(ah)ge sounds too French and rather strange to me. Kia Sport(igd)e sounds better and is actually used more in various areas of the world when pronouncing it. Maybe YOU should ask Kia how it should be pronounced. Proclaiming that Canadians are saying it correctly and Americans are wrong is based on what exactly? I have heard the Korean pronunciation... it is much closer to Sport(igdg)e than Sport(ah)ge! It's typical of some Canadians... calling Americans stupid for no valid reason... Love my 2020 Sportage LX AWD with the Popular Package option though, and a great walkaround video regardless.
Sooo... everybody realizes that I'm joking about the Sport ahge and Sport idge thing, right? The correct way to say it in the USA is Sport idge, and the correct way to say it in Canada is Sport Ahge. It's a joke.. it spurred friendly banter and conversation, and until this video, I would ALWAYS get killed in the comments for saying it wrong. I'm saying it correctly based on where our store is. I'm glad you love your Sportage! Thanks for watching!
@@douglasporter5751 The origin of the word forage is french... I'm not sure you want to go down that road. :) We're a bilingual country and Kia has decided to pronounce the name Sportage in the french way in our country. Forage - Middle English: from Old French fourrage (noun), fourrager (verb), from fuerre ‘straw’, of Germanic origin and related to fodder.
@@BrantfordKia I'm in New England. We do pronounce things weird. People always state we don't pronounce our R in words. The thing is there are many accents across this great world. People will understand what you're saying, just notice the accent. There is no one way to pronounce words, just comes down to where you live and the the culture of the area. So, all in all spor idge or sport ahj, it is still the same word. Just like tomatoe or tomatto.
😂🤣😄😅😆 Would you pronounce "Heritage" >>>> (heri•tosh) Or "Bandage" >>>> (ban•dosh)?? And yet you insist on saying that "sportage" is pronounced (spor•tosh) 😂🤣😃😅😆 SERIOUSLY????
So... again, I don't decide how to say these things, I just do what others do. Somebody pointed out earlier, we say Chevrolet, Chev - ro - lay and not Chev - ro - lett. I don't make the rules, I just make videos. :)
@@BrantfordKia Never just follow the herd. Follow what's logical and reasonable. The herd will not always be correct. They are a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy. Never fear an open mind.
LOL - WE Americans say Sportage wrong :D - Well you can't argue with a country where the national sport is HOCKEY!!!! Love my brothers to the north! Great video! Thank you!
@@BrantfordKia If one says the Raptors are "Canadian" team, then you could follow that same logic to say USA won the Stanley Cup for 26 years in a row. Canada has not won since 1993. Also - how do the Korean's pronounce Sportage - Thomas McDonald's statement is correct...
Is this guy a salesman in Canada? He has terrible product knowledge. Also, Koreans would disagree his pronunciation of Sportage... Just try saying these words like this... Lineage, mileage, homage, postage, garbage.
@@BrantfordKia you are not just curious, you think you are clever. Throwing out random words with varying backgrounds doesn't make a point. Otherwise we can play that game forever... How do you say Illinois, Sioux, Arkansas? Asking these does not prove anything as they are not pertinent to the debate.
Great video, really helpful, I'm looking at one from another dealership and they have a winter package included in their price for an additional $2,995, do you have that in your pricing?
Wow ! I thought it was the EX model , what a shock to see it’s an LX 4WD !! Nicely equipped .... as usual of course . Great to see videos with the lesser models as they tend to be the volume leaders and the one your more likely to purchase . Keep’em coming !!
Yeah, this car is really nicely equipped!
3 words: No Spare Tire

"Bandage" >>>> (ban•dosh)??
And yet you insist on saying that "sportage" is pronounced (spor•tosh)
😂🤣😃😅😆
SERIOUSLY????
So... again, I don't decide how to say these things, I just do what others do. Somebody pointed out earlier, we say Chevrolet, Chev - ro - lay and not Chev - ro - lett. I don't make the rules, I just make videos. :)
@@BrantfordKia Never just follow the herd. Follow what's logical and reasonable. The herd will not always be correct. They are a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy. Never fear an open mind.
i agree
no offense but Canadians have funny accents. plus I don't care if the Canadians say the word right, it matters how the Koreans say it.
I don't speak Korean, and who says that I have the funny accent? Maybe it's you that has the funny accent? :)
LOL - WE Americans say Sportage wrong :D - Well you can't argue with a country where the national sport is HOCKEY!!!! Love my brothers to the north! Great video! Thank you!
Don't forget 2019 NBA CHAMPIONS!!!!
@@BrantfordKia If one says the Raptors are "Canadian" team, then you could follow that same logic to say USA won the Stanley Cup for 26 years in a row. Canada has not won since 1993. Also - how do the Korean's pronounce Sportage - Thomas McDonald's statement is correct...
I loved your review though, outstanding - thumbs up!
@@snaptwain Brantford Kia is located in Wayne Gretzky's hometown... we're winners no matter what sport you want to include. :)
@@snaptwain Thanks for your kind words!
I'm not the only one in America who says "sport - tahdzh" instead of "sport - tedzh"
You are wrong!
Truuu
that's a 2019 not 2020
In North America, this is a 2020 model. It appeared in other markets as a 2019 model.
Is this guy a salesman in Canada? He has terrible product knowledge. Also, Koreans would disagree his pronunciation of Sportage... Just try saying these words like this... Lineage, mileage, homage, postage, garbage.
How do you say Chevrolet? Shev Ro LETT? Just curious.
@@BrantfordKia you are not just curious, you think you are clever. Throwing out random words with varying backgrounds doesn't make a point. Otherwise we can play that game forever... How do you say Illinois, Sioux, Arkansas? Asking these does not prove anything as they are not pertinent to the debate.
Cory- Koreans don’t bicker like Americans about pronunciations. I’m Korean, lol
SMFH. 🙄
Show Me Front Headroom? Ok, sure!! 😃
Great video, really helpful, I'm looking at one from another dealership and they have a winter package included in their price for an additional $2,995, do you have that in your pricing?
We're based in Canada, I have a feeling our trims come with that winter package standard.
