Refreshed Sportage Plug In Hybrid! – EX Premium Overview
new trim level, too. Now, this is the plug-in hybrid, and both hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants share the same new edition of a trim level. That is, in the past, we only had an EX Premium and an SX model for the plug-in hybrids, while our regular hybrid got the choice of an EX or an SX. Now, both trim lines or both powertrain lines get all three options from EX to EX premium all the way up to SX. Now, what we’re going to do in today’s video is give you a full tour of everything you get in this specific trim level, which is the EX Premium today. And spoiler alert, there are a few things within this vehicle that aren’t actually showcased or acknowledged on the brochure. And they’re actually quite nice surprises. So, follow along for the entirety of the video. And of course, this is a live stream, so we’re doing this in real time with no script, but we have a live chat where you can go ahead and ask me questions. Towards the end of the video, I’ll go through everything and talk with you guys. We’ll have a little chat. Now, we’ll start off on the front end of the vehicle. We’ll talk about lighting, safety, and whatever else you want to ask about. Going to have Adam grab the camera and I’ll also mention price point right off the bat. So, it is 49395 for the EX premium trim level. This is right smack dab in the middle of the available Sportage PHEV lines. So, the EX will of course be more affordable and the SX model will be more expensive. On the front end of this vehicle, you’ll notice we have a couple flashy but subtle elements. So, for your grill, it’s a gloss black finish adding to a little bit more style. And then we have a nice satin chrome line along the top of our grill. Satin chrome ties in nicely with our brushed aluminum Kia emblem. And if you couldn’t tell already, the exterior paint today is fusion black. Now, this is the complimentary color for Kia Canada here, which means there’s no $250 paint charge. Black looks beautiful. It is harder to take care of in the long run though. So, if you like detailing your own car, you might love it. If you don’t, might not be a fan. For your headlamps, you’ll get full LED projection main headlamps with an amber daytime running lights across all trim lines. When you hop over to the EX Premium, that’ll be your introductory trim to these beautiful LED fog lamps. Now, in true fog lamp fashion, they are positioned lower in the front end of the vehicle. Extremely bright. They look good, too. and a little bit more visibility. Now, with every light being an LED on this vehicle, if you didn’t know by now, LEDs are more efficient than a regular bulb, so they will last you a whole lot longer. They also make a modern car look properly modern. Looks a little strange seeing a brand new looking vehicle with those H hallogens, so it fits the car quite nicely. And the headlamps themselves are actually a major change from last year’s Kia Sportage. I don’t know if you remember, but we had a boomerang style light. So, the amber DRL would be like this. It actually wasn’t amber unless you had your signal on. Now, it’s amber all of the time. Main headlight has also changed its formation, too. There’s been some subtle tweaks to the grill. Really hard to remember right off the top of your head if you’re not seeing a previous modelage right by side, but we now have a bit more of a horizontal approach to the design sequence. So, it gives the car a bit more of a wider stance. We have forward- facing parking sensors. So, these ultrasonic sensors will send a beep inside the cabin when you approach something too closely like a vehicle ahead of you or a wall. And then we also have our radar plate positioned more towards the passenger side. That’s utilized for your smart cruise control as well as your highway driving assist. Now, this vehicle does introduce navigation starts on this specific trim line and that will allow you to change the following distance of your smart cruise control and of course the speed too. If you hit stop and go traffic, it’ll come to a complete halt and then right back up to speed again. You can also combine that with your lane safety. So, your automated lane following assist, which of course is standard on the Kia Sportage. Let’s talk about the windshield next, which is a little strange. Usually, we go right underneath the hood, but I want to point a couple things out. For the windshield, it’s acoustic laminated, so it’s going to be a little bit quieter as far as road and wind noise goes for the cabin. But in the very center, we have a camera, and we also have a sensor. So, the camera we see on just about all of our cars now because we have forward collision avoidance and our lane keeping and lane following assist systems. All of those safety functions are activated or monitored by that camera there, which watches the lanes and the cars ahead of you and does corrections as necessary. As far as forward collision avoidance goes, the vehicle will always warn you first and then apply brake force if it senses it’s needed to avoid a crash. And that works with pedestrians, cyclists, and other motorized vehicles. for lane keeping and lane follow. Lane keeping essentially pings at you with a slight beep and a little bit of correction if you start to verge out of your lane. Not great if you don’t like indicating lane changes. You will hate this feature. And then lane following will see minor adjustments in the road, like a slight bend, and just do those little corrections for you. So, it’s a bit of a cruise control for steering, if you will. Now, as far as the glass itself goes, like I said, it’s acoustic and laminated, but we also have a heated windscreen. You can’t see the little lines running through it on camera because our quality sucks, but you may see it in person when you are test driving the vehicle. Do not be alarmed. It’s just like what we have at the back of our cars that melt the snow and ice off your vehicle. Same thing, but for the front. We also have rain sensing wipers, which are activated by the sensor right up at the top. And you of course can provide micro adjustments to control the speed and the sensitivity of the auto wiper. Now going to pop the hood to talk powertrain. The plug-in hybrid is quite special because it gives you the best of both worlds. And what I mean by that is, of course, at the end of the day, there’s still a fuel tank and there’s still an engine, so you put gas in it, but you can plug it in, too. So, when we combine those two forces, our electric motor and battery, and then also our gasoline engine, we get a great range and great fuel consumption of 6.6 6 L per 100 km and 53 km of pure electric range with a nice horsepower and torque number of 268 horse and 271 pound feet of torque. Matter of fact, about 98 horsepower comes from the electric motor alone. So, this vehicle is going to feel fairly quick, especially compared to the regular gas version of the Kia Sportage. A lot of people don’t necessarily think hybrid or plug-in hybrid as fun to drive, but this vehicle is extremely efficient and also gives you a little bit more of a thrill to drive, so I’m not mad at it. For a transmission, it’s a six-speed automatic. You do have paddle shifters, and the paddle shifters do two functions. You can have it cycle through your gears if you’re in sport mode, so all six of them, or you can have it adjust the level of regenerative braking. Going to talk about that in a second. We should probably talk about it when we show you the wheels, which I’ll do right now. So, for our wheels, we have a 19-in alloy. Ventilated disc brakes up at the front and solid disc brakes in the rear. This vehicle is all-wheel drive, and all models of hybrid plug-in hybrid sportages are standard with all-wheel drive here in Canada with the incorporation of terrain modes. Now, terrain modes, you have snow, mud, and sand with mud and sand being a full 50/50 torque split. And snow mode is largely 8020. So, 80 to the front, 20 to the rear. However, it can drop down to 50/50 if you are driving very slowly or very stuck. The main purpose of our all-wheel drive system is to give you better stability and better traction in whatever conditions you’re going through. So, the vehicle is a smart system. It’s going to be primarily frontwheel drive on regular drive pavement. As you’re driving, coasting, and nothing’s going on wrong. If I were to turn onto a gravel road or some sort of uneven surface, the vehicle automatically adjusts itself, so I don’t have to worry as a driver. Wheels. Again, I’ll just talk about the styling real quick. Beautiful machine finished element with a lot of gloss black, too. I like how we have a blocked off center cap as well. Very modern. Your tire is a Michelin allseason tire and like I mentioned, standard all-wheel drive for all hybrids and plug-in hybrids. For your wheel arch, it is body color, beautiful gloss black, and then we do have a reflector up at the front. On the topic of regenerative braking, it’s quite cool because when you have the option to customize or adjust the level of regen, you really put an extra level of control and a little bit of less wear on your brakes themselves. Allow me to explain. Regular operation in a gas car, you hit gas to go, you hit the brake to slow down or stop. Now, on this vehicle, when I hit the brake, or matter of fact, when I let off the accelerator, if I have my level of regen up, let’s say level two or level three, my vehicle will slow down and it’ll do it quite quickly, even without pressing the brake pedal. That’s essentially instead of my electric motor pushing me forwards, you know, driving me driving the wheels, it’s spinning in reverse and changing its function. So, it is going to draw power back into that battery that I can use at a later date. And that resistance that it’s causing is slowing my vehicle down at the same time. So, I’m not using my brakes, but the car is still slowing down and I’m getting power from it. Where a regular gas car, all that energy would just be wasted. It would be heat that is gone now. Pretty cool. Less wear on your brakes and you still get to slow down and stop. All right. Now, for mirrors, EX Premium is the starting trim line for power folding mirrors. You do also get a turn signal indicator and a little bit of black on the bottom. Of course, this car is not the best to show you that because it’s black everywhere, but if this was a white car, it’d be white over here. Black on the bottom. All right. For door handles, we have proximity entry on the driver and passenger front doors. That little button will unlock or lock your vehicle depending on what it was first, as long as the key is on you. We do also have blind spot detection as well as collision avoidance. You can see the little indicator light on the mirror that’ll illuminate if there’s ever a vehicle in your blind spots and will then beep and provide corrective action if I actively try to change lanes while there’s a car there. Your roof line is where you’ll see our gloss black roof rails. They’re nice and flush with the body and all of the pillars and belt line portions of the vehicle are also in a nice gloss black finish. Again, what a beautiful look. I do like an all black car. All I’m thinking about though is if I drove this home, what it would look like the next day. And it’s not looking too good. Again, it’s it’s a sacrifice. If you really really love black paint, you’ll do it. But if you’re someone who hates having the look of a dirty car, it might be your worst nightmare. I would suggest a gray or a fun color. For our rear, I can’t really show you it, but we have a multi-link rear suspension, which is smooth over bumps and also handles quite nicely for city driving. In terms of size, the Sportage isn’t overly large. It’s fairly easy to drive. You got a lot of visibility from our tall and wide windows, and your seat position is quite nice. You don’t feel like you’re climbing into a massive SUV, nor are you sinking into a low sedan. It’s right in the middle, and it is absolutely perfect. We do get some extra convenience with this trim level, too, with the big function being our power lift gate. So, I can release or open the liftgate by pressing our button there, also by using my key fob or even simply walking up to the rear of the vehicle. As you can see, this car was cleaned today. It’s a little wet under here, but let’s take a look at where we’re at for space. One of the biggest beauties of the Sportage is the amount of cargo space we have while still being able to utilize all of our main seats. Because this isn’t a third row SUV, we’re not sacrificing seats for space. So, tons of room here. If I do need to fold a seat down, I do have these levers on either side where I can put them in a 60/40 split, and they go just about completely flat. There’s one there. And then underneath the floorboard, we have our level one charger. And I’ll talk about charge times and everything in just a second, you guys. A level one charger. And then further down, I can’t lift it cuz the mats. It’s okay. We have our tire mobility kit. Y’all don’t really need to see it. We have done a video about how it works. Essentially, instead of a spare tire, a lot of hybrid or smaller vehicles will now include an inflater kit. So, it’ll pump air into your tire, but also a sealant, which essentially will plug whatever hole is causing the air loss from your tire. Now, what happens if your tire completely explodes? I don’t know. It can’t it can’t help you there. There’s no spare. But you do have 5 years of roadside assistance. Of course, you guys, I’m going to be completely honest with you. A spare is much better, but this is a lot of weight savings. And if it is simply a nail that’s causing your tire to lose air and you know you not being able to complete your drive, this is way way quicker and way easier for a lot of people to quickly repair that. A lot of people don’t know where to change a spare. So a lot of people can figure this out instead. Level one charger comes with the car. This is essentially a household outlet. So three-prongong outlet, same place you plug in your haird dryer or your phone can charge your car. It’s pretty cool. It does so pretty much overnight. So I believe it’s between 9 to 10 hours for this specific vehicle. And pretty much when you get home from work, you plug in your car. You wake up the next day, you drive to work on all electric range. As long as your drive to work is under 53 km. Plugging your car in is easy. So easy my mom can do it. And she is the least techsavvy person I know. Her car is being plugged in exactly right behind us. Adam, I don’t know if you want to show my mom’s Sarrento. She does it every day. She gets gas twice a month where she used to get it twice a week. So this vehicle will take There we go. Level one or level two charging. Right now, we got our level two. A lot of people will install this in their homes, whether they have EVs or PHVs, because it takes that charge time down to 2 hours for a full charge. Now, is it necessary to charge your plug-in hybrid to 100% every single day? Absolutely not. But, do I recommend it? Probably. There might be a reason why you’ve purchased a plug-in hybrid over a regular hybrid, and that’s because of the all-electric driving range. You won’t get to benefit from that if you do not plug it in. So certainly worth plugging in. If you can’t, or if you extend the 53 km of range, let’s say you’re on a road trip and you got to drive a whole lot more than 53, that’s okay. You still have a fuel tank. You still have an engine. This car will not leave you stranded. Unless you forget to put gas in it, too. If that’s the case, I don’t know what to tell you. Now, for our fuel tank, it is a 42 L tank, and it just takes regular fuel. So, no mid-grade, no premium, regular unled is just fine. and she’s happy. And again, if you can’t plug your car in, let’s say you’re on a long weekend camping trip and there’s no place to charge it, that’s okay. It still takes gas, just like a regular car. All right, now we’re going to hop in. Adam’s going to give a quick pan of the cabin first. Remember earlier, I said there’s a few things in this vehicle that are not mentioned on the brochure. Major thing, the seat material. So, the brochure will tell you that you get black leather seats. They don’t tell you that you get the suede insert. It’s absolutely beautiful. The seats are going to be heated and ventilated on the EX Premium trim line, and this mixed material just makes the cabin feel even more premium, the way the EX Premium should be. Now, you do get a memory driver seat starting on this trim level, too. So, as far as multi-driver households, it’s a really nice function to have, especially because it also syncs the mirror settings. Power folding mirrors, power seat, memory seat, perfect combination. Now, for our adjustments, we have the typical height as well as distance. You can also angle it, too. Back rest, and then we have our two-way lumbar support. For the door card, we have a little bit of a gunmetal finish for this insert here, and then satin chrome for the door handles themselves. You’ll notice there is nearly no panel black on this car. Huge upgrade from last year. So, as far as hight touch areas, you’re not going to have fingerprints everywhere. You got your mirror controls up at the top with a button to power fold them on command. Check that out. And then we have our mirror controls right behind. The sound system in this trim level is not a special one. It’s just the regular in-house. And we have six speakers throughout the cabin. As far as airbags go, there are eight high quality and advanced airbags throughout the vehicle, too. That is the same across all trim lines. Steering wheel is pretty funky. So, we got a little bit of a chunky middle ground here. The left hand side is for your driver assistance settings. So, a button to quickly turn on or off your cruise control. You’ll adjust your speed with the plus and minus and then change the following distance with the bottom left. Again, four different presets. Each time you press it, it’ll go to the next one, next one, next one. The bottom will be your drive mode select. So, we can go between eco, sport, or a customizable Myrive. Myrive is changed through the vehicle’s head unit, and you can adjust it to be a little bit more of a sport mode or an eco mode, whatever you want it to be. You can make some tweaks. The right hand side has our terrain. So that’ll adjust the all-wheel drive system and your stability control. Oh, hello. All-wheel drive system and stability control. And then we have those three options I mentioned earlier like snow, mud, sand. Right now, the vehicle is slightly under a full tank and we’re reading just over 500 kilometers of range. That is combined between gas and electric, though. Let me get to my menu, which actually shows our range for each so we can get a bit of a better figure. So on a full tank of fuel, you’ll be just over 500. And then for electric, we’re again rated at 53, but it’s only halfway charged right now. 1 hour 10 minutes remaining. The right hand side will also house your media controls. So things like volume as well as your voice commands and your phone. And then we have the paddles on the rear, which again will either adjust your gear, your current selected gear, or your level of regen. If you’re in eco mode, it’ll be a regen. If you’re in sport mode, it’ll be your gear. The main screen is a 12.3 in display with integrated navigation. You of course can also use nav from your phone or media from your phone. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is now standard on the Kia Sportage and it’s across all trim lines. In the past, our vehicles with the smaller screen got wireless CarPlay, while our larger, more expensive vehicles only had wired. So now we we got wireless all around. Everyone’s happy. It is also a new software. So, you’ll definitely notice this if you have a previous model year, Sportage. Completely different icons now, new interface, very easy to adjust, just like a smartphone. You kind of drag and drop. You have a top- down view as well to things to adjust things like brightness, turn your display off, and it’s very customizable. There’s driver profiles, too. So, if you do share this vehicle with somebody else, everything you change as far as safety settings, media settings, even the screen layout will be set to your specific profile, so there’s no fighting. Below that, we got our climate control slash multimedia. So, right now, it’s set to climate. You can clearly see the blue and the red where you can adjust your exact temp. You can also sync it up because it is dual zone or it driver only so it only spends energy heating or cooling the driver’s area. Very easy to understand and use when it’s like this. But here’s the catch. It also flips and changes to your media. So from here, I can quickly jump into my map if that’s what I want. Or I can do any of these other buttons. They do exactly as they say. Most people like to leave this on climate because anything media controlled can also just be adjusted by touching the display. But again, it’s a little bit hard to grasp at first, but once you drive the vehicle for a few weeks, you’ll get used to it. This entire area here is that gunmetal color again, which is a huge improvement from the piano black of the previous generation. Again, that fingerprint magnet material. This is far more resistant and also looks a bit better. You got your start, stop ignition, your shift by wire gear shift, and then down at the bottom, we have a button for downhill braking assist, our auto hold brake function, a park view camera, your parking sensors to turn them on or off, and then this button here, which will cycle your vehicle between hybrid mode, electric mode, or automatic mode. Here are all your seat controls. So, heated at the top, ventilated at the bottom with three different levels for both. And then we get two level heated steering wheels. Heated steering wheel. Behind this small screen, we have our wireless phone charger and two USBC’s with the one on the left being for data transfer and connectivity. Sorry, data transfer and charging and the one on the right being simply for charging. Right, I’m going to go around to Adam’s seat or the passenger seat to show you the controls because if a power seat is something that is a mustave for you, this is the starting trim line for it. We get a few different adjustments. And this seat, of course, is still heated and ventilated. So, we have our back rest adjustment and then also our height and angle. So, you can raise it, you can tilt it, whatever you like best. Easy to adjust. Very nice. Quick look at the glove box. It is illuminated. And then we’ll also open up that giant panoramic sunroof, which also starts on the premium trim line. push it back to open the cover. If you push it hard, it’ll also open the glass. A lighter almost kind of will open the full or just open the cover. So, it opens up to about here. It also raises this mesh net to keep bugs and things out of your cabin. And it adds a lot of open air feel to the interior. So, it’s a very, very roomy cabin even without the sunroof. I mean, I can’t reach from how I’m sitting now, I can reach it, the seat beside me. So, it’s it’s fairly spacious. Even though this is still a compact SUV, you got your cup holders here that are adjustable. So, if you don’t have a drink in your vehicle, you can tuck them away and just use this for storage. Then, we’ve got our key. This key always looks massive on camera. It’s actually not that big. It’s very slim. You got your lock on the top, your unlock, as well as your liftgate release, your panic button, and then on the flip side, we have our remote starter. So, key integrated remote start. It’s worth noting that this vehicle also does have Kia Connect, which is Kia’s telematic system. And essentially with that, you can unlock start and check on the status of your vehicle all from your phone. It is a subscription, so it’s totally optional whether you want to pay for it or not, but it is free for three years. And I will say three years is a lot compared to what other manufacturers are doing. A lot. Okay, I’m going to hop in the rear seats. Make sure I fold the left ones back up. There we go. So, here’s what we’re looking at for space. There’s a lot of it. This seat is far further back than my driver’s seat here. So, we’re going to get a look at all of these configurations. Lots of room for my legs. My distance from the knee to the back of the seat is quite quite far. You get a proper leather pocket in front of you. So, there is a good amount of stretch, but you also have the privacy of the leather. It’s not a net. And then you have this small hook on the backs of both seats. Now, you may be wondering, what am I going to hang there? I would say it’s the best spot to have right next to your USBC. So, if you have a USBC cable right over here, you can run the coil around this little hook and then have your phone charging here. So, if the cables aren’t dangling by people’s feet or risk getting wet come winter time where everyone has snowy boots up over here though, this hanger is perfect for bags, jackets that you don’t want on the ground, whatever you really want. It’s built into the headrest, so it doesn’t take up any extra space and it saves you from buying those ugly ones from Amazon. It’s built into the car. All righty. Center of the seat or center seat, we have our drop down armrest with cup holders. Tucks right back up if you don’t need it. And then our car seats do have our car seats. The car seats do have car seat tethers. Car seat for your car seat. Both these two main seats as well. So your outside seats are heated with the controls being mounted on the door cart right above our window controls. And we have three different levels of heat for the back seats here. There’s also ventilation. So the actual temperature that’ll come out of here is whatever is set by the driver up at the front. But you do have the adjustment of if the vents are either open or closed and how open they are. The interior lighting on this vehicle is LED and that’s of course the same for the front. During the day when we film it never really shows well, but at night time it really does make a difference. And if there’s one more thing I would like to show before I end off today’s video, it’s just going to be the integration of Home Link to our rear view mirror. So you can definitely see the blue right now. It’s not that visible to the naked eye, but this is an auto dimming mirror. And then the buttons on the bottom, you can essentially link your garage door opener. So that way, instead of hanging something on your visors, you just have it linked to the mirror that’s already built into your car. I think if there’s one thing we learned about this vehicle today is that everything you need is built in. The hangers, home link, it’s just already here. All right, so now that we got that out of the way, let’s answer some questions. See what you guys have to say about the Sportage. If there’s anything that you’re still left wondering, I am happy to answer. There’s a few specs I didn’t mention during the walkound, and that was the towing capacity. So, this vehicle, all trim lines of the plug-in hybrid are rated for 2,000 lbs of towing capacity for the uh minimum ground clearance is 210 mm, which I believe is about just over 8 in. Hold on. I’m gonna ask Siri. Adam, do you want to search that up real quick? How many inches is in 210 millimeters if anyone also wants to chime in? Um, does the Kia Sportage plug-in hybrid qualify for any current federal or state tax credits or incentives? So, as far as Yeah, it’s eight and a quarter inches. Thank you. Um, as far as federal incentives, the answer is no. we no longer have our eyes of rebates and in Ontario we haven’t had a rebate for a long time like a very very long time. Um so no it does not qualify for any rebates right now. As far as the states goes I am not sure. We are based in Canada. I’m not familiar with the incentives or the um programs that are going on for Kia in the states. There is another thing I wanted to mention now that I think about it and that is where this vehicle is built. It is built in Korea. So it’s a terafree car for us here. Um, let’s see. Oh, another good news I have. So, for the longest time, anything Sportage in terms of hybrid or plug-in hybrid had a horrible wait time. I’m talking two, three years. Now, things are finally getting better with the refresh model as about half of our allocation is either hybrid or plug-in hybrid. So, they didn’t exactly specify how much of that half percentage is plug-in hybrid/hybrid, but they did say fourage, 50% gas, 50% HEV, PHEV, which is very, very good. Um, TRD RAV 4 said Soul has been officially discontinued. Yes. So, for us here in Canada, the last month of production was last December. December 2024 was when our last Soul was built. Last Soul for Canada. Um, is the cabin noticeably quieter or smoother when operating solely in electric mode? So, I would say yes, but I will also say that a majority of the time when I’ve driven our PHEVs, I’ve also had music on. So, I’m the worst person in the world for testing this. I think about it, but then I’m like, h, let’s just turn this up real quick. But yes, it is very, very quiet. There’s been so many times I’ve driven this PHEV and I’ve forgotten to actually turn it off because when I stopped or parked the vehicle, it was in EV mode. So, in my head I was like, “Yeah, the car’s off.” It’s not. Um, “Hey Gabby, I have a 2026 Sportage Hybrid with 18in wheels as standard. Can I use 2355 R19s for winters?” So, typically we usually go down a size come winter time. The biggest thing with our hybrids, plug-in hybrids and EVs, is the actual clearance for the brakes. So, I would probably double check with the parts department off the top of my head. I I can’t give you my complete full yes or no, but I can check with our parts and see what they suggest. I’m just going to quickly screenshot your question so I can give a actually proper answer. I don’t want to steer you the wrong way. But, okay, we got that. Jet, thank you for the birthday message. Um, MG said, “Hit the like button, y’all.” Yeah, for anyone who’s watching right now, I see there’s about 86 people on. If you haven’t liked this video already, please consider doing so. It is free to do and it really, really does help out the channel. And I get paid by if people like the video or not. So, if we only get five likes, I only get $5. I’m kidding. I don’t get paid for the amount of likes, but it really does help us out. So, we would certainly appreciate it. Um, do you notice the heating wires when driving on the windshield or is it even noticeable once you drive it? So, when you’re actually driving, you don’t notice it. You have to look for them to see them. So, I will look at them, see them, and I’m like, “Oh my gosh, they’re everywhere.” And then two seconds later, it’s completely slipped my mind and I’m not. You have to think about it. Um, Christian said, “It’s free. I’m liking it right away.” Yes, liking the video is free. So is subscribing if anyone’s watching in the future. Buying a car is not free. So, got to take what you can get for free in this economy. Um, King Pop said, “Sorry, forgot to hit the like. Thanks for the reminder.” I got you. Don’t worry. Uh, I just want to quickly see if there are any other questions. X Development said, “I got the Sportage 2026 with a red interior. Really love it for the first car.” What an amazing first car that is. The red interior is absolutely gorgeous on this vehicle. I wish we actually got them though. That’s the thing. I think we’ve only received one or two and they’ve been for gas models. So, it’s it’s rough out here. Um, yeah. Um, I’m 16 basketball asked if Charlotte when Charlotte’s coming back. So, she does have a year of Matt leave. She is gonna be here tomorrow. I don’t know if she’s going to be here for the video, but she is going to be here tomorrow. So, do not worry. Charlotte is okay. She’s just on her well-deserved rest. Matt leave. She just had a baby. She just made a human. Um, been waiting for Pat to give away a car for a while now. Me, too. Hopefully, he gives it away to me. I need a car. Anyway, you guys, thank you so much for everyone who’s tuned in today. And even if you’re tuning in in the future, we really appreciate your support. If there’s any questions we didn’t get to answer in the live stream, please, please, please feel free to leave them in the comments down below because I still check them. If there is any other vehicle that you’d like to request we film, that’s a Kia or Hyundai. I I’ll make sure that’s clear. Let us know and I can definitely add that to our to film list. In the meantime, take care. We’ll see you next time. Bye-bye.
