  • now everybody copy the design of cerato optima (camry) sorento (edge landrover) etc

  • KIA AUDI....

  • Nothing wrong with way KIA is heading but they need to redesign their logo.They stepped up their game with the quality of their vehicles and a new badge would signify that.

  • It's nice to see a company that can make a nice, affordable car that has a great warranty and decent reliability. Not everyone can drive fancy cars.

  • i'vs had mine for about 2 months now and i love it...best car i've ever had i think and i've had a cavalier, a civic, a protege5 and an explorer sport.

  • @remustintoi yea that explains a lot

  • i gotta hav it..

  • I love this vehicle.

  • KIA

    KEEP IT AWAY

  • no rear seats?

  • I have a new KIA and I just don't care about the bage! That's it.

  • if u hid the badge and said it was a lexus u could charge ppl 75,000$ for it

  • this dude makes this car look tiny

  • @remustintoi because it is.

  • Obviously Jap sneak posted this clip,, blabbering poorman's Toyota, poorman's Audi.. Har har har har.. pathetic Jap dogs tsk tsk,, Hyundai/ Kia technology & industrial magnitude far surpass all the major car companies in the World combined together, Now even Porsche is falling behind on the Lx Korean cars now even at 2 times prices,, All ye ,Name brand Pimps & Whores out there, Wake up ~

  • is a fucken Kia yeah a piece of shit.same hyundai.corean pieces of shit.not a good quality at all

  • @MOUSEBOWEN Hey fanatic Garbage Jap dog dont bark nonsense, piss off delinquent trash

  • @MOUSEBOWEN Luckily US made cars are famed worldwide for their excellent use of premium plastic all throughout their interior and superb safety rating, not to mention those unmatched feul economics... :')

  • @MOUSEBOWEN Go learn how to spell first man before talking.

  • they need a new logo.

  • Are people really worring about the badge? Are you serious? You are a buying a vehicle, not a badge and your maybe looking at kia cause you cant afford audi or bmw. Frankly what does it matter?

  • @Just4Laughss The fact that we live in America matters. It's called conspicuous consumption: the image that you are living well by three materialistic possessions. Expensive house, expensive car, expensive clothes - You must have a great life. Obviously, that isn't always true, but it's the American dream.

  • finally a kia crossover that is actually not UGLY unlike the previous models

  • i was a detailer at a kia dealership, and all i can say is that kia has really up their game.. great cars

  • The only thing I dislike about the 2011 Kia is the back of the car... It looks like a turtle!

  • @vididi34 it looks EXACTLY like a traverse

  • @vididi34 No, it looks like it applied to much lipstick...

  • @evanbella99 Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahaha! Nice one! :'D

  • Badge or no badge, this car makes a lot of sense.

  • i really like this model..

  • my dad bought a kia sportage in

    '98, its still running perfectly and its going to be mine next year.

  • ha, people here are worried about a company's logo, humerous

  • All the Japanese car makers are afraid to offer a warranty like Kia and Hyundai. Why? Simple, it's because that is more money in their pockets and more out of the consumers. If they really were confident in their vehicles, they would give 10 year/ 100,000 mile warranty. All I can tell you is, don't hold your breath. I would rather own a Kia because they are better looking and better covered.

  • the problem is only the LOGO.look very bad.

  • this is going to be my next car =) black on black fully loaded, I think 31,000 is cheap for a brandnew top of the line suv... it is the best looking then crv... im in love with this truck, its so cute for women =)

  • Kia needs to design a new logo, definitely! But in terms of design, good thing they snagged Audi's designer.

  • Other than the commit about the rear visibility, good review. And yes, the badge is a problem but styling is first rate.

  • How does the large rear pillars make visibility "good"?!!  Doesn't make any sense what so ever.

  • @thecordova928

    Rear visibility is terrible the C pillars are huge, and the back glass is tiny. The backup camera is a must. I dont know what he is talking about..

  • @thecordova928 Yeah that had me scratching my head too

  • LOL @ "This is not poor man's Toyota; this is poor man's Audi"

  • finally a review of this car...i really dig it

  • you still on steriods?

  • Nice review.

  • lol...he said "because of the c pillar design..u have really gud visibility"....i think he meant "you have really bad visibility"...thats a huge blind spot

  • Crap Kia... cant afford nice car buy Kia lol

  • honestly its a great car but i have a couple of points , i went to the shop and sat in it for a while i noticed a couple of things 1 , the driving wheel is small , and its not as wide and roomy as it looks thats all

  • Poorman's Audi ? eat shit with you jerk,,, What age your primate head belong to? Kia is gone ahead of BMW, Mercedes, from 2011 in reliability, durability, Hp/weight, IT tech'implements.. fits & finish, Ulterior design quality etc...going par with Porsche & will kick it's ass in another months counting.. You ignorant uninformed dullard ..., Update yo monkey brain~

  • @yeotmugrajp Sure sure lol.. Kia will never pass BMW, Mercedes lol just cause you own that piece of shit dont mean its better than BMW

  • 2011 Kia Sportage is a bit tight in the front seat, compared ot the Subaru Forester or Outback, and there is a HUGE blind spot due to the rear pillar and small back window. Very sporty an awesome color choices.

  • Way to go Kia.

  • This guy is so right....can u overcome the perception of driving a KIA ???? KIA should consider changing the words to just a nameless logo.

  • @DJTEVAdotCOM Both Ford and Kia have the oval thing going. They need to update their brand logo's, like you said, to a nameless logo. So does GM and Chrysler. Their logo's are way outdated.

  • chrome looks so cheap....just knowing ur driving a KIA logo doesn't win at coolness points

  • Comment removed

  • @mikerules666 And may i ask what did Toyota do to Americans last year?? And my friend KIA is not going any where lol.. I

  • @wowdude2008 It doesn't matter what they did. I had been strictly an american car guy for years. Now I just don't care anymore. I will pretty much buy any car. I just recently purchased a Saturn. I used to say bad things about them all the time, but now, I just don't care. The cash for clunkers program from a few years back, has destroyed a lot of great cars, so it is harder to find a decent car now.

  • if Kia keeps going the way they are the badge will be the least of their problems. They are rolling out the nicest lineups out of Asia.

  • I had a one and the only problem I found with is the suspension it's really stiff and especially on our roads, I'm from Iraq and our roads are very bad so I found it not comfortable at all but on high way it's very stable, I managed to 170Km/h and I don't find any problem at all.

    Thanks guys for this amazing review

  • his "dont fuck around" attitude made this the best review for this car on youtube

  • Now it's time to redesign the badge..don't you think?

  • I looked at this, CR-V, RAV-4, Tucson, Rogue at the Auto Show, and this was BY-FAR the best out of ALL of them.. If only people would get over the Kia nameplate and by the BETTER more exciting CUV! RAV-4 and CR-v are so BORING and UGLY compared to this! I love it i want one so bad!

  • To tell you the truth... i am not a big fan of the interior when me and my girlfriend went to test drive it. She decided to get the 2011 hyundai Tucson instead, the interior in the hyundai just felt like it was made with better materials.

  • Paid commercial? Great car, i just bought a 2011. Paid 23k for an EX model. Love it to death. Just seems this guy didnt mention any bad. for example, the vis is not good. But overall, nice to hear someone give due props.

  • Love love LOVEEE this kia.........here is to changing the perception of Kia forever :)

  • High belt line, short windows and a thick C pillars make for poor rear visibility. There's no way around that. Definitely form or function.

  • This guy is big ! and he sits confortably :))

  • I don't understand why! But your starting price in the US is $19,000! :O In Australia it starts about 10k more!!! :O :( and atm the Australian dollar is worth more then the US! :\

  • as you said the problem is with the bage

  • @Lithiumgtr and the engine and the looks

  • @Lithiumgtr You honestly must be a real dumb fuck if you judge a car by it's badge...

  • @Lithiumgtr badge*

  • I had the new sportage really coooool

  • I thought this thing looked fantastic and looked bigger than I thought it would. Two things no one seems to mention tho, 1) The driving just felt meh, just no spirit in the accelleration, handling, etc....slow too...idk...I'm all about driving feel. If the car makes me smile while I'm whipping it around and pushing it than I know I'm going to be happy for a long time. 2) NO ONE seems to mention this but I thought the driver's seat was just too hard/firm.

  • @vicmackey1268 Have you tested other cars in this class? People say the acceleration and handling is also lacking in the Mazda CX-7 and the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. The CX-7 is too firm, and the Sport is too slow.

  • @if7ate9 The Maxda CX-7 has a turbo with the i-AWD system and it feels the most fun of all these types of SUV's to drive because of that. Once the turbo Sportage is out that could change but I actually enjoyed the Tucson's drive more even tho it's essentially the same car. The sportage had a more firm "look im sporty" ride but the tucson knows its a car-like crossover and even the seats felt more like recyliners. The Outlander is also slow ur right. continued...

  • @vicmackey1268 i've test driven the Sportage twice, Tucson once, almost bought a Forester and a Mazda CX-7, my mom has a CR-V, cousin has a RAV-4, work friend has the Escape and I drove a used one. I ended up buying a used SE Camry cuz I knew i'd get a lot of resale value out of it when I can afford the car I really want. I also think the SX4 is a great little hatch AWD, and if you wait till next year the Wrangler and Escape will be all new. The new Compass is my current favorite small SUV.

  • @if7ate9 The Honda CR-V is decent but it's just dated styling now and is more middle-aged mom than anything resembling sport, the most dissapointing thing is its highway accelleration. Around town it's zippy but going from 40-70 to speed up and pass I feel myself saying come onnnn!!!!! (my mom has a cr-v). My cousin's 4cyl RAV-4 is the most impressive but the interior was my least favorite since the entire thing is like one big cheap plastic bowl. My favs: Tucson, Forester.

  • @vicmackey1268 Thanks for your input! I'm finally getting some time to test drive some of these this weekend, and I'm sure my views might be close to yours.

  • @if7ate9 I think maybe since I thought the Sportage looked SO good from the outside that I would be as impressed with the drive...really my opinion is the interior is more important cuz you never really see the outside of your car. None of the cars in this segment were really terrific with how the inside impressed me except that the Tucson was gorgeous at night with it's bright blue gauges. Im driving the compass soon but i heard its miles ahead of the old one i rented and sucked.

  • im getting a sportage in 8 months thats a big waiting list

  • where's the radio/CD go when you add the nav function? or is it integrated? I drove one (rented) and wondered what would happen because the nav system they gave us was an add on and the radio was where I imagine the nav system would be.

  • Very nice promo. I think Kia has jumped up very sharply. For sure, it can not be competitive with the german origin cars (X3 and Q5) in terms of quality yet, but the strategic focus the Kia is setting now beginning with the apperiance and interior is ensuring us, they are on the right path. The pricing is consumer friendly, what I find the most competitive advantage. Petrol engine has enough horses, but lack of tork.198 Nm could be at least 230 Nm.Batch is not a problem, we all get used to.

  • 1:39 Ah fingerprints!

  • "because of the c pillar ...u get really gud visibility"....LOL...yea right...thats a huge blind spot...

  • He is so big he makes that car look like a toy lol

  • @das2190 no kidding. his knees were on the dash lol

  • @skawodn Do you drive one? and welcome to 2011 where technology is at its greatest....

    I went to autosalon, KIA has the most advanced technology you can find in a (basic)car

  • Check the guy on the bicycle at 1:50! :D

  • Great review, MUCH better than Roadfly or cars.com

  • Great review of this great car. I overcame the perception of KIA and couldn't be happier. Ride is quiet and smooth. Just an all around good car and the warranty is a strong selling point as well.

  • Hey man,your Reviews are great.Right to the point.Great Work

  • I drive one here in Toronto and drove 12000km

    I love this car except for the power.. I really wanna get 2.0T

  • Thank you!

  • I like this motor but, Let's fire up the Quattro!!!!

  • the reviews that he does usually suck....but this one has to be one if not his best review ever GREAT JOB!!

  • this car looks amazinggggg

  • poor man's audi? I wouldnt mind to drive this car! My gf might be getting it as her first car ! Hopefully , i love how safe it is !!!

  • poor man's toyota haha lol

  • the Audi Q5 is the best

  • @yass2022

    The Q5 is gay; for women

  • @MusicMan0007 hahaha lol the Q5 is really great sporty SUV , plus its not feminine.

  • thx for the awesome review..

    luv ur shoW !!!

  • you need to do a follow up demonstrating the uvo and also the other interior features.

  • lol this place where they shoot this vid is the same place in GTA San Andreas !!! nice suv

  • I agree, this thing is beautiful. I'm a convert. I love where Hyundai and Kia are going!

  • Great Review! Kia & Hyundai are really stepping it up with their designs & quality. My brother has & 2005 Hyundai XG350 & it's a pretty nice car. Bought it last year for just 8k in really good condition with only 36k miles.

  • Hello Mr. Doron, I totally agree with you. All of the line up of Kia and Hyundai are really good looking vehicles, the fit and finish may also be really good. The only problem is the manufacturer's badge. I think once you have a perception of a brand, it is very hard to change, like myself in my early 20's I loved Nissans, but once I bought my first BMW, I would not change brands for anything. My point is that Kia is aiming for new generations of drivers, those with no bad perceptions about Kia.

  • dude I love your reviews you explain everything that is important fast and right to the point!

    Great vehicle btw!

    Cheers!!

  • barely any interior images...
