    Hi, newbie to the forum. I have recently purchased a 2012 KX3 AWD with 140k on the clock. It has a stamped service history up to 96k and I know the owner who had it since then and serviced it himself religiously every December. I had it serviced on purchase in September, Oil, filters etc...

    Thanks for clicking on my post. I'll get right to the point and summarize where I can. Bought a '13 Sportage EX in 11/18 with 40K on it and the AWD worked splendidly until I noticed it wasn't. Last December while driving in a blizzard I didn't feel the rear end pushing me like I'm used to...

    Have a 2023 X-pro Prestige has 4500 miles and I'm getting a Check AWD Sensor Warning that is popping up. Can't get into dealership until July 29th! Can I still drive the car? I pulled over, turned off the car and it reset and did not come on the rest of my trip. Two days later, was...

    Generally speaking, after almost 7 years and 129,000 km, we still love our Sorento. But here are some things we've noticed: Checked the oil last night and it was right off the stick. We have always changed the oil at between 5,000 and 7,000 km intervals and it's barely below full each time, so...

    I live in New York and recently purchased a 2023 Kia Sorento X-Line S AWD with the 191hp engine (Not the turbo 281 hp engine) and curious to see if anyone has taken this guy off roading on the beach or in snow. It seems to have plenty of horse to get on the highway and pass people when you need...

    What are you guys liking in your SUVs? I'm looking at 235-65-17 (104H) and whereas I only got 40k out of the Kumho 7 tires, I'm looking at other options. I like the Firestone All Seasons and they have been fine on previous cars. Any others I should be looking at? Thanks!
  7. 5G 2022+ Sportage
    Hello! I have a question that may be a little silly. I just bought a 2023 Kia Sportage. The salesman told me that it was an LX AWD. However, I really don't know anything about it and on the sales contract, it only says LX. What makes me doubt that I really have AWD is that my fuel consumption...

    Hi, does anybody uses 225/65R17 AT tires? My Sportage 2018 AWD uses 225/60R17, and I want to upgrade to AT tires, but can’t find 60’s where I live, do you know if 65’s fits fine? I know they are only around 11mm taller, but want to confirm as this Sportage model doesn’t have a lot of wheel well...

    I was told on AWD models, the spare tire has to match the diameter of the OEM tires or the AWD system can be damaged. Does anyone have more information on this? My 2021 AWD EX did not come with a spare and I want to add one. Others have posted about having or adding a spare, but no one has...

    Hey all, Our 2006 Sorento has the 2HI/4HI/4LO driving modes, but we really need to be able to use AWD while towing on tarmac roads in the winter. That is, almost exclusively dry tarmac roads, with ambient temperature slightly below (or even above) freezing. The issue is possible patches of ice...

    Hi Guys, I have a 2016 Sorento SX AWD with 235/55R19 Hankooks on. I got a puncture on my one tyre's side wall and I know that side wall damage requires a tyre change since you shouldn't attempt to repair it. But with an AWD the standard recommendation is to change all 4 tyres at a time. However...

    Had this car less than two weeks. The brakes started squeaking a couple days after I got it (it was raining a lot so I paid no mind) and then it got worse. Shortly after the AWD warning indicator light came on and I noticed I burning smell from the tires. Took it in to be serviced and they...
