2023 Kia Sportage consumer reviews

after tons of research, started looking at the Kia suvs/sportage..I had driven Lexus RX, few other different luxury brands..I loved Kia’s warranty, 7r/10yr wow….even though owned cars and they NEVER required repair, but I do maintain and take care of my vehicles, first foremost regular oil/filter changes and sometimes even skipped a service check…so decided to test drive, I was pleasantly surprised it handled well, cabin quiet, hugs the ride, awesome sound system by H Kardon, suspension felt good( unlike last Lexus) it has all the bells and whistles, safety features. pep when needed, and gas mileage 27-up as high as 36 mph with sensible driving…oh yes 2 rear passenger has plenty of leg and head room, reclining rear seats even for 6ft + passenger was amazing surprise.. cargo area good size.. just could not find anything that turned me off the vehicle…so I bought one, and no regrets..

I enjoy my Kia Sportage it’s stylish look and performance is excellent . Kia connects is special I can use from my phone with special features as well

I've had this car for nearly 2 years but have less than 7.000 miles on it, so maybe this isn't a fair judgement, but so far, it's been great. I got the basic gas model. No problems. Had one weird thing where i didn't realize that I couldn't move the car AT ALL with the door ajar, and the car freaked out & seized up! But once I figured that out, and learned how to use all the tech, it's been great. It actually turns out to be a bit small for my needs, but other than that, great . . .

The sunroof of my 2023 Kia Sportage (purchased in November 2023) just spontaneously exploded. Nothing hit it. It was like it became pressurized. Glass went everywhere. I called three Kia dealerships and no one was surprised, nor did they take the issue seriously. They said it would be weeks before they could even look at it and “diagnostics” would cost $280 out of my pocket. Terrifying experience. Terrible customer service. Misleading sale. It is only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt. ANOTHER lawsuit against Kia is definitely on its way.

The dealer's service is disgusting. The car is constantly squeaking, twitching, freezing. Every 2 months you need to drive and check for new errors in the car.

I've had my SX Prestige gas model for a year and a half. I have been very satisfied with this car. The interior design is very user friendly as are the tech features. I have had a few minor issues. When the car was new the active air flap system wasn't working properly as the flaps were stuck. I kept getting strange powertrain errors when the issue was the air flaps. It took two visits to the dealer to fix the problem. The other issue I have is the lights on the A/C Radio combination panel are too dim to see when it is sunny out even though I have it set to 100% illumination. Dealer doesn't have a clue how to fix it so I live with it. Other than that the car has been great. The engine is underpowered, but I learned to use the sport mode when I need power and it works acceptably. The ride is comfortable and with the rear seats down I have plenty of room to carry my things even though they say it's small for its class. I like the size. Not to small and not to big. The interior is roomy for a car this size. The MPG's average around 27 for me. I get over 30 on the highway. For the features you get at this price, it can't be beat. All of the safety features have worked flawlessly. The car has been working out well for me and I would recommend it.

There is a a rattle or rumble in the engine or Trans that was noticeable to me right after I purchased the car. I reported it at 5600 miles and at 4 other times. Finally it is being checked. I do smell a rubber or electrical odor intermittently. I'm at dealer now and will file a lemon law claim if no results.

Great salesman AD, very knowledgeable with cars and products, kind spoken young man. Thank you for your time and service. Continue to be the best!

Got a ‘23 Sportage EX just under a month ago and I’m in love. It’s comfortable and looks great. It’s my first new car ever and my first SUV, also my first Kia. I wasn’t looking for anything super fancy or that has all the bells and whistles so the EX is a perfect fit for me. The interior is so nice! It’s my first car with leather interior, I’m someone who never wanted leather. But I’m sold on it now!

Screens will periodically reboot and you don't have any safety features till you pull over and restart. Rear doors pop open while on highway. Radio failed after a few weeks of delivery. Handles poorly on bumps in highway making it walk sideways. No wireless Android auto in top trims. No memory mirrors on top trip. So not buy please like we did. You will regret it. Customer support gaslights you too.
