Hello All,

I am new here.....Just ordered a 2023 Sportage Hybrid. Dealer says 5 months

Wondering how people are feeling about the Premium package. I ordered it. Did I make a mistake?

What premium package? What's in it?

For the EX model you can check the Premium box.

Includes Sunroof, Power tailgate and Interior LED lights for 1500.00

Could not find Misty Gray interior with Vesta blue anywhere near me. Had to order

I'd say it's worth it. It seems like you get a lot of stuff in SX package in an EX model by purchasing that package

For me those things are worth it. The sunroof alone makes it worth it. Subjective of course.

We own the exact Sportage EX Hybrid you ordered (including the Misty Gray / Vesta Blue interior, and Premium Package).

For my wife (and therefore for me) the $1500 was well worth it to get the Panoramic Sunroof and the Power Tailgate. She loves always having a Sunroof in every vehicle she drives, I am generally indifferent about them, but this one if very nice ... and I do love the Power Tailgate for sure.

We also ordered (back in August) which still has never been allocated, even though our dealer got a few other Hybrids in that time. We ended up buying ours from a dealer ~250 miles away, after continually looking and calling I eventually found one with the exact specs we ordered. My recommendation would be to do the same and keep looking and calling around. You never know if you will get it from your dealer, even though you "ordered" it there is no guarantee it will ever be built.

We have the premium plg in our EX also, and I love the sunroof and smart tailgate. The interior LEDs are fine but that isn't a big deal to me.

To me the package was definitely worth the extra $$.

It's funny what people really enjoy. I love the interior LEDs. If it didn't have them it would drive me crazy!

Thanks all for the input....
Looks like I made a good decision!

Yeah, I've done that to all of my vehicles I've had over the years. As soon as I get it to my house, I take out all the old bulbs and change them to cool white LEDs

FWIW, I do love the LED headlights. We have old school projector halogens in our Santa Fe and it bugs me every time I drive it. ha ha. It's my daughters car now so I'm not going to mess with it. I did put LED headlight bulbs in my Tundra.

For headlights, I think I actually miss the HID bulbs, LOL. I find them brighter and goes farther down the road than LED lights

Awesome. We have vesta blue with black interior, and we love it. I'm planning to do ceramic coating once it gets warmer out.
