2023 Kia Sportage EX Premium Review

2023 Kia Sportage EX Premium Review 

Thanks to a substantially stiffer architecture, a spacious, technically sophisticated cabin, and a combination of two electrified powertrains, the new fifth-generation 2023 Kia Sportage EX Premium outperforms its predecessor. This model offers seating for 5 and 4-doors. 

The Sportage EX Premium not only changes on the outside thanks to a divisive new design, but it also changes on the inside. The 2023 Kia Sportage EX Premium has a much more modern and technically advanced cabin than its forerunner, thanks to an all-new N3 chassis that extends the wheelbase 85 mm.

The EX-Premium has a fully-digital dashboard shown on a single large tablet. High-end vehicles feature a 12.3-inch + 12.3-inch layout, while entry-level models get a 4.2-inch digital gauge cluster and an 8-inch infotainment system. The base model in the new Sportage is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. It can be ordered with front or all-wheel drive and is connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard on both machines. All-wheel drive is included as standard equipment.

The front seats are solid and comfortable, with a coat hanger built into the back of the headrest. It’s a valuable feature for when the kids come inside after playing in the rain.

Because of the long wheelbase, the Sportage has a lot of leg and headroom in the back. There is also a reclining mechanism on the seats, which adds comfort. Cargo space is also among the segment’s top performers.

The inside of the 2023 Kia Sportage is stylish and contemporary. There are several futuristic features, such as the enormous display in the dashboard’s center that  Every trip with the 2023 Kia Sportage will be more than comfortable, with plenty of room for you, your passengers, and your baggage.

2022 Kia EV6 AWD LR with GT-Line Pkg 1 Reviews

2022 Kia EV6 AWD LR with GT-Line Pkg 1: The Future Is Here

The 2022 Kia EV6 AWD LR with GT-Line Pkg 1 is the company’s first specialized electric vehicle, and it’s built on the same Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) that will back a plethora of new Kia electric vehicles. The EV6 illustrates the increasing options and possibilities of the latest electric cars, with a projected range of up to 310 miles and fast charging rates thanks to its 800-volt architecture. This model offers seating for 5 and 4-doors. 

The GT-Line AWD’s 320 horsepower and 446 pound-feet of torque provide quick acceleration and plenty of power to keep the power rush going. 

Two motors with a total output of 320.5bhp and a monstrous 605Nm of torque are used in the AWD variant, and those large numbers are sent to all four wheels via an automated transmission. Except when you wish to accelerate from 192kmph, the EV6’s peak speed and performance are instantaneous and unrelenting at all levels. 

The braking performance is equally outstanding, and slowing down from maximum speed immediately before a corner is a breeze. The brakes bite firmly and instill much trust in the driver.

This automobile feels lighter than its curb weight of 4647 pounds. The brakes are powerful and simple to modulate, with regen braking force controlled by steering-wheel paddles. In the peaceful cabin, there were no squeaks or rattles.

Upgrade to GT-Line trim for sharper appearance, memory seats, dual-zone climate control, tinted windows, and an ingenious technology that allows the charging connection to double as a 3.5kW three-pin plug outlet. 

The EV6 AWD’s interior is distinctive, well-finished, and detailed, with a layout that includes fewer control surfaces and a clean, simple at-a-glance appearance. The dashboard-style can take center stage with fewer buttons and controls, with more room for materials, patterns, textures, and colors to mingle, flow stack, and layer. This provides the driver with something interesting to look at throughout the forward compartment.

Come to your local Greater Vancouver Kia Dealer – Kia West for a test drive of the 2022 Kia EV6 AWD LR with GT-Line Pkg 1.
