The time has come and KIA is more off-road capable than Subaru. Question of faith or not, but Subaru should continue to ignore their customers and thus bring themselves into oblivion. In times of the internet and swarm knowledge not very wise to play so deaf. Should they mount their CVT transmission where the sun doesn't shine. For over 20 years praying "No CVT".. Ignored. As you can see, every Kia is now more capable.

I really like the new Sportage. I remember making fun of Kia's back in the day then after my wife totaled our newer Escape because of suicidal moose, we needed something fast for appointments and general living. We bought a used Kia Sedona and it has been a great vehicle that has had a VERY hard life. I would totally buy another kia without questioning it. I would even say the Kia has been tougher than our either of our Explorer (I mean what isn't, right?) but also our other Ford vehicles have not been as strong or reliable.

I have this vehicle from a rental agency in Burlington, VT and it is going back to the agency. It is completely unacceptable in snow. The rental version lacks a way to activate AWD. Horrendous traction control software cannot apparently be disabled. Every decision I make as a seasoned New England driver gets overridden by poorly designed software, so one spends more effort fighting the drivetrain than dealing with snow and ice. I would never recommend this vehicle for anything other than freeway driving under excellent conditions in southern states. It is very dangerous in snow and ice, fishtails where it should’t, drops from one wheel drive to zero wheel drive on uphills, and behaves poorly across the board as a winter driver… think sledding rather than driving. Very poor software design and a poorly written owner’s manual make this a dangerous choice in winter conditions - especially for a rental vehicle.

I miss my 2012 Kia Sportage. Upgraded to a Subaru Crosstrek (as a Subaru fanboi). My real world driving experience says the Sportage AWD was just as capable as the Subaru. KIA doesn't make their own AWD they contract to Magna Powertrain "off the shelf" unit. With the 4x4 lock I found it worked better than X-Mode in snow and ice.

This is an interesting redesign. There is a lot to like, but I have a few criticisms and concerns. 1. Longevity. Kia has had issues with longevity, especially with engines. Is this new Sportage better in that regard? We won't know for awhile. 2. I agree, there needs to be a Kia Sportage X-Pro Prestige HYBRID. 3. A little more ground clearance and underbody protection would be nice. 4. Dealer network. Kia/Hyundai's dealer network is not the best. There are only 3 dealers with 150 miles of me, and none of them has a particularly good reputation. 5. Infotainment and HVAC controls are wonky. 6. Yes, the upper end models are pricey. Things I like: 1. I actually like the design. 2. Full size spare on the X-Pro Prestige. 3. Conventional AWD driveline and conventional automatic transmission. 4. Appears to be spacious and comfortable.

Seems like Kia is testing the waters with this XPro. Honestly if Kia put more effort into the XPro (like more ground clearance, recovery points, front skid plate) it might be able to compete. But if they are going to play it safe with just tires in future models, the XPro won't catch consumers attention in the softroader segment.

Even till this day, I see a lot of non-Koreans say Hyun-DIE or Hi-Un-DIE. Its Hyun-Dae in Korean. But many have come to live with it. BACK to Kia, comparing three ways of saying it, the Korean way sounds a bit more similar to American way.
