I've owned 2 Kia Pro Ceed's. I had the first one 5 years, and the 2nd one almost 3 years now. I drive around 25k miles a year, and have never had a major fault with either car, and no minor faults to speak of either. They just keep on running. I've been really impressed with the specs, value and reliability of both cars. Life circumstances are pushing me towards an SUV now, and I'm liking the Sportage.
I hated the new Sportage ever since I saw it, but it's starting to grow on me... However, it is not gorgeous and instantly likable to everyone like the previous was.
With me it was an affection at first sight. But you can't drive the looks alone, so I wanted to drive it first before I could decide whether or not to try other cars. After my test drive with the Sportage I never went to see any other car. You definately won't find a better car in this price bracket, hands down.
Yes:) I own the new KIA, and I love it. The other two cars are also nice. Tuscon looks very good, although I haven't driven it, so I can't be a judge in other matters beside the looks here.
Manuals fail too. I'm in Europe and hate that manuals are more popular. I can't even do a test drive with an automatic, because dealers don't have automatics available for test drives here..
Isn't Qashqai a segment smaller that the Tucson and Sportage? X-trail should be compared with these two, and that will definitely trump ahead in terms of space and usability.
I have been thinking of what car it can be better between Hyundai Tucson and Nissan Qashqai both are attractive for me and have a similar price it would be a hard decision
It’s 10 years powertrain and 12 month bumper to bumper and if you buy even a certified pre owned they will revamp (start over) factory warranty. Which is what I did. Love it
Not sure why people dislike I'm personally will go for the qashai blindfolded because I'm after quality and mechanics more than practicality, but it fact Korean cars was and still the best value for money in many ways and the do have fair quality and ride. But ofcourse you will find the different after the long run (which non reach actually we usually sell cars after 100k unless its something precious)
The qashqai is still a good looking car on the outside but the interior shows it is on age. The Kia's interior is my favorite and I applaud the daring design on the outside as well.
@@thepenetrator2006 Why, could you please elaborate.. I am thinking of buying one (1.6 turbo, manual, premium + panorama roof) so any opinions, both pro's and con's are helpfull?
You're missing Kadjar in this comparison. It would be appropriate as Sportage and Tuscon are sister cars, as are Quashqai and Kadjar... and many of the cons of the Qashqai (smaller boot, slow infotaiment, dull interior) are solved with Kadjar. Great review, neverheless
I've had this Kia Sportage 2019 for two years now and I'd say it's been really fantastic. The interior and exterior are definitely worth the price and the engine is really responsive. The ride could be more smooth, though! I wish they could make the steering a bit more smooth, as well; Sometimes It feels a bit too firm. In terms of petrol, it usually stands at 9 lit per 100 km, which is not bad for a mid-size SUV. The Kia designers have been more courageous in upgrading the front. However, the back (ass) is still as plain as an egg! Overall, I really enjoy driving this Kia Sportage. Thanks for the great and informative video
You simply cannot compare the quality of the build of qashqai to the others. The qashqai is the best selling SUV cross over for a reason. Mechanically you can't go wrong and the drive is by far the best and most comfy. Also qashqai has a lot more gadgets ... I personally feel the looks of the qashqai are better then it's competitors ...
Not sure I'd agree with you entirely on the build quality. My QQ is 3 years old and had a faulty battery, glow plugs and air con system. Plus the customer service is appalling. I'm having to pay for an air con system investigation when it's Nissan's faulty design. My experience has put me off ever buying another Nissan.
Classic Mat. Loved the review! The pun of the Qashqai as Nissan's Cash Cow is brilliant. Keep em coming. I've come to realise how Carbuyer really stood out due to Matt and Rebecca. Now that both have gone different ways, Carbuyer has really lost its Charm. But well, two different channels with two brilliant reviewers, what else could you ask for? Carwow seems more imaginative and it seems like Matt has more control here. Cheers!
+Prakhar Agarwal Car workers at the Sunderland factory came up with the cash cow pun, because of the large amount of overtime they were getting for making them.
Intrepid Milotic people complain of electrical problems in the cabin and engine problems - a quick Google search brings up lots of examples. I just got a Tucson and it's great
I can confirm that Qashqais are unreliable. Mine is 3 years old and had a faulty battery, glow plugs and air con system. Plus the customer service is appalling. Such a shame because everything else about the car is great.
On their web site kia claims Sportage 1.7 diesel 115hp has 11.5 s 0-60mph which is bogus and fake as her sister Huyndai Tucson same engine give 13.7 sec 0-60 mph damn kia
So glad to find this video, am in the market for a new car and these 3 are my top choices... the Kia is the one I keep coming back to and watching this you have helped make my decision a lot easier indeed.. keep up the good work!!!
Cathryn Bennett Don't go to the Nissan, had an Xtrail for 12 months, got rid of it, was a heap of garbage. Got a Sportage 2 litre turbo diesel. Great car, love it as much as I hated the Nissan

I have that KIA same color too lol it's not going to win any awards. Probably wont impress you on first drive but after a week you can see the value factor backed with 7 year unlimited warranty and so it makes sense.
I have to say that i love the Tucson, the only gripe i have with it is the bland and dull interior and the lifeless steering. But on the upside it's practical, functional and easy to use. And in a crossover like this that's what matters the most. I'd rather have a functional 8 inch touchscreen then nice soft touches around it. Although those nice soft touches and small detail finishing are always a welcome plus for the next version... Everything on the outside of the car is great. From the firm looks, to the way it stands out and just looks quite aggressive and head turning. I think the Kia looks Unique but at the same time it isn't the ideal approach and looks a little off for me at least. Especially the front end! The Nissan looks functional but it's infotainment system just looks horribly outdated. That alone is a reason i wouldn't go for the Nissan. Above all that i find it the most boring to look at out of all 3 of them. I've almost had 15.000 Km on my Tucson and not a single problem yet! Never had to change oil, no cracking sounds in the interior etcetera. Overall a great buy and a satisfied customer with the Tucson. Never expected this kind of class and overall quality from a Korean!
The Nissan looks the best, personally, but you'll use that infotainment system every day and it wouldn't be able to take the sluggishness. The Kia looks horrible compared to its predecessor. Therefor, I would take the Hyundai. -Master
Great review ,you are very precise in all your review .Matt could you do a mash up with the 2016 Mazda cx5,Tucson and any other ,cause am interested in this two .keep it up
Got the Tucson as i preferred the design and styling of both the interior and exterior over the Kia. Same mechanical cars but it comes down to personal preference, that's all. All around the Tucson is the winner between the two as it's built more on comfort as these crossovers weren't designed to burn rubber around a track and boasts a more aggressive, "futuristic" look. I prefer sharper edges over round looks as that to me seems dated.
Is it possible to write a few words after 3 years of owning one? I am thinking of getting redesigned Tucson 1.6 T-GDI in premium trim + panoramic roof. Your opinion would be a great help, so please can you can spare a minute or two for your comment..
I steal drove the Nissan and it was the worst of the three, yes the front of the Kia isn’t the best looking but all round the Kia is the best off the Three.
I get a distinct impression that this review was aimed at promoting the Hyundai and Kia, there was more negative attitude towards the Nissan than the Kia and Hyundai combined.
No one spoke about the audio system!!! This is also very important as we listen to music every day we will be using this car. I hope it is better than the Bmw professional sound!!
have a hyundai tucson diesel after 4 half year the turbo went they tried to blame my mechanic for putting wrong oil in the end they fixed it next out of guarantee the ignition switch -starter alternator front spring broke steering rack changed worse car ive ever had apart from cortina but at least that was easy to fix best was escort
Had three qashqais I have been very pleased with all of them present one 1.5 diesel brilliant on fuel only trouble i have had is a new battery which was replaced free of charge as car only two years old lovely car to drive and look at
I'm very interesting in Nissan just for one reason - it has collision prevention feature. Other stuff will become useless if not protected in collision.
Just bought a 2016 Tucson really good vehicle ...yes its the base vehicle and coming out of a Citroen Picasso with all extras fitted i think I have made a very good choice ...comfy yes ...rear seat passengers have a huge amount of room yes it's got a few down sides ...lack of storage space a small problem and no spare wheel (I bought one) but the fuel economy is hugely differant over an extra 10mpg over the Picasso and the Tucson's front is more bluff ...so far after over 1000 miles I can't fault the Tucson .....it does what a car should do make you feel good about the purchase...
My neighbours have just bought a Kia Sportage....... And I really don't like them...... The neighbours I mean... The car is great.

I drived new Tucson and Qasqai. Tucson looks splendid but qualitative Nissan is better
Tucson is on point
Since when did Karl Pilkington start doing SUV reviews?
Sales of the Hyundai Tucson have also done well but I prefer the Kia
Love how other countries have manual! Manual is unbreakable. But Americans want automatic and CVT and cry when their transmissions fails.
Manuals fail too. I'm in Europe and hate that manuals are more popular. I can't even do a test drive with an automatic, because dealers don't have automatics available for test drives here..
CRv, Rav4, Tiguan, Cherokee, CX-5 as well please Matt
Isn't Qashqai a segment smaller that the Tucson and Sportage?
X-trail should be compared with these two, and that will definitely trump ahead in terms of space and usability.
Love the Sportage!!
Please do a review on the BMW Z4!!
Best engine for qashqai?
sportage all the way
they keep making the sportage uglier and uglier
nissan all way!
why are you searing I'm 12
my 2016 spent 8 weeks at the dealers with a squeak thst drove me nuts its put me off the car, ive just ordered the sportage
I have been thinking of what car it can be better between Hyundai Tucson and Nissan Qashqai both are attractive for me and have a similar price it would be a hard decision
Tuscon much better
The Kia looks like it wants tot devour everything in front of it.
Sportage looks like a pikachu.
kia has 7 year warranty but limited milage when the hyundai has 5 year warranty and unlimited milage
So the Kia would be better for people who don't drive as much. I'm glad they give options like this.
and the 7yw only covers engine faults. If anything else goes wrong, like the electric system in the mirrors or windows, your done
In Australia they offer a full 7 year warranty unlimited millage
It’s 10 years powertrain and 12 month bumper to bumper and if you buy even a certified pre owned they will revamp (start over) factory warranty. Which is what I did. Love it

I love the aggressive look of Kia Sportage. It' stands out and I find it much better looking than the previous models.
the Hyundai tucson is the best
If you overlook the problems with the dual clutch auto transmission with its known hesitations an less than decisive shifts,
It's shit

Mat can we please see, Volkswagen Tiguan,Ford Kuga,Mazda CX-5 ? those 3 looks way better than all the other crossovers.
And more expensive
“The Nissan's dash design is Yawnsville"
Talk to VW about that. I'm yawing just mentioning Volks-*yawn* wagen
I drive a 2009 VW tiguan, unlike you I have a brain!
Kia design looks like copy of Porsche :)
I have driven all 3 but so for me the Tucson is by far the superior & better car! I have therefore got the Tucson!
Any points that stood out? Thanks.
Im confiused o whish car i will buy K Sportage or Nissan Q !!!! Any ideas
You're missing Kadjar in this comparison. It would be appropriate as Sportage and Tuscon are sister cars, as are Quashqai and Kadjar... and many of the cons of the Qashqai (smaller boot, slow infotaiment, dull interior) are solved with Kadjar.
Great review, neverheless
"nice arse a shame about the face" brilliant mat!
The Koreans sure know their way around the industry!
Glorious 4K! Thank you Mat and carwow team!
the sportage is a little bit weird
Andre Destroyer Not weird, unique. Have top of the range Sportage, best car ever. Shits all over Nissan
Why not have all the cars in the review in the same colour it makes it more objective

get the tucson. wont regret
channelFCOD we looked at and fell in love with it straight away. The KIA is alright but just can’t get past that look.
I have a Tucson and I ❤ it and the screen is so high resolution and the looks just makes me jealous but… I have IT!
What you need is; Exterior of Tucson, Interior of Sportage and Engines of Qashqai.
And nothing from Nissan..
That Kia is the second ugliest car in the world (right after the Fiat Multipla)
Now, now, you don't have to like the Kia, but it's not a notorious monstrosity like the Multipla. It's a fairly balanced design, at least.
no. its third. you forgot the Juke.
+dulsaf2630 The Juke is nice,but wierd...
