And Juliet has not even mentioned it, not even once. Because that's not important to her, what's important is that he's her son. She's not just a great car reviewer. She's an even greater human being.

Interesting that you guys have the SWB Sportage we have the largest LWB Sportage in Australia

❤ brilliant review as always. Love your work 🎉

Great review and impressive product. But why o why didn't Kia bring in the 2.0 litre diesel motor found in the Hyundai Tucson. Overseas reviews indicate that is the sweet spot in the range... Cannot find any other country on the planet that gets a 1.6d....

Thank you Victor!!!! I will definitely keep it up x

No 360 camera system even. Some other features not avail as found in other latest competitors. While overseas... The Sportage has those features. Also no satnav but android helps with that.

I currently own a 2013 Sportage 2.0 Diesel AWD (the first of the really good ones) which I absolutely love. I was disappointed when I saw they weren't bringing the new Sportage in 2.0 Diesel. Might give it a second look after watching your review.

They're cutting costs. All manufacturers are. That's why VW no longer makes the 1.2 4 cylinder engine for the Polo TSI, but a 3 cylinder 1.0 litre.

The fuel consumption in the 2.0CRDI does does not justify a extra 80nm of torque.. this has a extra gear, 7 instead of 6 in the old driveterain, go drive one you will be quite impressed. I had a 2018 Sportage 2.0CRDI 6speed auto and it SYPS diesel. Mooved over to a Creta 2019 6speed auto 1.6D and i get like 18-22km/L. So for that bit of less torque would not bother the majority of customers. I had a 2023 Sportage top spec 1.6D DCT as a loaner for the day with 1000km on the clock for a full day when mine was in for service and it goes. However im not a fan of the DCT. I did about 250km of driving that day, in traffic it appeard very jerky and shuddery. I would still not buy a DCT. Rather stick to the normal 6speed torque converter auto. My personal opinion is DCT is a workshop income generator as they do have clutches, not one, but TWO, that WILL wear out faster than any manual transmission clutch.

I think Kia should bring the Kia Sportage HEV to SA. It’s a very good powertrain. 169kW / 350Nm. Front or all-wheel drive. Fuel economy of 6.1 to 6.6 litres per 100km.

I've read/watched several reviews of the new Sportage Diesel here in SA now, and Juliet has reported the highest mileage so far. Most of the reviews have reported in the low 6's. My guess is Juliet drives like Schumacher, or she's doing mostly town driving. The HEV will be much more more expensive, and is much heavier too. Kia made the best choice to offer the diesel really.

@@MohsinWadee In Britain, the Kia Sportage HEV 2WD in GT-Line S guise is priced at the equivalent of over R940 000. Note that the diesel is no longer offered in Britain.

Test drove the petrol version. One of the high specced ones. Let me just say : lovely lovely lovely 😍 such a beautiful car all round. And it moves when you want it too.

Hi ma'am, how can I reach out you

With a 5-year, unlimited Km warranty, you start to wonder why Toyota and VW are still in business. Become more and more difficult to justify the overpriced brands
