Beautiful car with off-the-chart tech. Wish the console wasn't piano black... that's going to be fun keeping it looking good. Keep these videos coming - I'm learning so much about this car thanks to you!
There is also an ambient lighting strip across the trim panel of the passenger side of the dashboard...hard to see except at night and with one of the brighter colors but it's there. I think they missed out by not putting anything down near the floor...my last three cars were domestic and they all had floor level ambient lighting. Small quibble...the car is still bloody awesome!
I was hoping it was at least somewhere else! I agree, they should have stepped it up with this feature. Otherwise, YES amazing car! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Thank you for the video. I thought I’d set mine to indigo but its green, and I hate green. Couldn’t find my way back to the ambience settings, so very grateful for this! Have a great Christmas 🎄 btw and looking forward to more Sportage ‘how to vids’ next year!
I got the 23 KIA Sportage SX-Prestige gas model. What about the Interior Lighting Kit you can have installed? How do you control that if you can? Or is that a US market thing?
Seems to be a US market thing. I haven't seen that option here, and if there is an option, I haven't seen anybody get it installed yet. So far the only official factory ambient lighting is in the HEV and PHEV models. Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Greetings! Only the HEV and PHEV Sportage have ambient lighting, the ICE does not, here in Canada. This can vary per country. Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Our 2023 Sportage Hybrid only has the EX AWD and SX AWD trim levels, and the only seat colour options are Black or Carmine Red for the SX AWD only. Other countries may vary! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
The $300 feature is under lighting for the foot area I just ordered it on my new vehicles. Dealership didn’t know anything about it about to find out though. Hopefully it works in sync with the accent lighting
Fair enough, but with vehicles like the EV6 they seemed to be going more aggressive in it! Hope this goes into other vehicles too! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

You said it! Agreed, they need to come up with something different! Thanks for watching! - Andrew

Hi Thanks for the ambient light tutorial for the Sportage! Does the ambient lighting come with the 2023 Sportage SX Fwd trim? Thanks!
It's my pleasure! Unless it is an HEV or PHEV, the ICE Sportage does not have any ambient lighting unfortunately. Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Great job, Could you please make a video how to activate power folding mirror in Kia Sportage SX 2024.
Thanks
We don't have power folding mirrors here in Canada on ours (I wish we did..). Thanks for watching! - Andrew

You as well! More to come when more get here! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
I’ve NEVER heard anybody call that color “Blurple”
Thank you so much for that! 😂😂😂😂
Great video by the way!
Haha! Just trying to meet it in the middle! Thank you so much for watching! - Andrew

@@CardinalKia just ordered a sx prestige with the 300 lighting accessory see how it turns out
Fantastic! I'm excited for you, haha! - Andrew
Is the ambient light always on while driving or it is on for sometime after the engine start and then automatically turn off?
This time it seems to be running all the time! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
I work at kia netherlands but i can’t find the ambient light on our cars, do you need to make a drivers profile?

Does the Sportage HEV EX come with a sunroof or a panoramic roof?
Not here in Canada, it's only on the SX HEV. Thanks for watching! - Andrew
There is an EX Premium package in the US that includes the sunroof and powered liftgate.
Do you guys have the 23 hybrid ex premium in vesta blue with grey seats ?
Our 2023 Sportage Hybrid only has the EX AWD and SX AWD trim levels, and the only seat colour options are Black or Carmine Red for the SX AWD only. Other countries may vary! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Is this lighting also on the 23 teluride sx perstige
I don't see it listed specifically in the SX Prestige, but I would think it would. Our SX and up has it here in Canada! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Does this feature come with all models?
For the 2023 Sportage Hybrid, it comes in both of our trim levels, the EX and SX. In other countries this may vary! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
It doesn’t come standard for the US Sportage hybrid EX, it’s an add-on for this trim, sadly 🥲
@Ash-nb2pv That's such a shame.. it's a vibe having it! - Andrew
@@fanoftoast I watched this video, got all excited, ran out to my EX Hybrid, and nope. Wasn't included. Made me sad.
How about in LX fwd 2023? No features like this?
Unfortunately here in Canada, no ICE Sportage comes with ambient lighting :(. Thanks for watching! - Andrew
is this the same on the sorrento
This is also in the Sorento PHEV EX+ and SX trim levels! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
I just got a 2023 hybrid sportage EX same model and it doesn't have ambient lighting? why is that?
Depending on what country you are in, not all the EX come with the ambient lighting, sorry! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
@@CardinalKia I am in Orlando Florida do they offer it in the US?
@themixclinic1120 I believe it is an add-on that you can choose, but here it comes by default. - Andrew
Dont come on ex only the highest prestige sadly
@zachfuller7226 It's shame the models and trim levels are so different per country. - Andrew
I wish my 2020 kia Sportage EX had ambient lighting
I wish it did too, time to customize! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Ooohhh 😍😍😍😍
RIGHT! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
That's a 300$ feature. Thought it would be on more than just the console
Looks like it goes under the dash too. I was hoping they would take it a step further with this vehicle. Thanks for watching! - Andrew
Yeah, it looks really good, but the fact that its just the console limis the fun aspect
The $300 feature is under lighting for the foot area I just ordered it on my new vehicles. Dealership didn’t know anything about it about to find out though. Hopefully it works in sync with the accent lighting
@@gbforfunbruh7090 it doesn't work in sync hence they've not included it
How do you do interior light review in the day? Bruhhh stop playing 😐
Pssh.. I know.. this will change in the future, haha! Thanks for your patience, and for watching! - Andrew
kia Ambient lighting is weak! BMW & Mercedes are kings of ambient lighting
Fair enough, but with vehicles like the EV6 they seemed to be going more aggressive in it! Hope this goes into other vehicles too! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
You're comparing luxury vehicles to standard. Of course they're gonna be better 🤡🤡
You need to pronounce “sportage” correctly, you sound funny bro and it’s not French.
On this side of the imaginary line, I have pronounced it correctly! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
In some places it’s pronounced that way. Smh
Is this available for 2023 Sorento Phev model?
Should work very similar! Thanks for watching! - Andrew
