Hi Everyone,

Looking at possibly getting an EV5, however when I look at the boot space spec online it seems quite small, however when I have seen it in person it looks really sizeable. Can anyone tell me what you can realistically fit in there including above the parcel shelf if you really pack it full?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I am new here as I'm pretty interested in buying a new K4. It just got introduced to the German market and would be the perfect next car for us.

I tried to research it online, but couldn't find accurate information. Does it have any capabilities to park itself or assist the driver while parking? E.g. telling you if you fit in a parking spot and at least support with the steering?

According to the website there is RSPA and RSPA 2, but I am unsure if it is available for the K4 in GT Line.

Any help is super appreciated!

Dear kia. I love the Telluride so much. I own a 2019 Kia Optima s which I also love. But if you could find it in your heart to donate a fully loaded Telluride hybrid to me that would be awesome :) I could never afford one. Sincerely a Kia fan :)

Looking for advice on a 2016 Sedona SXL with 111k miles for 8k bucks.

2 owners 1 accidents. Fresh brakes rotors and tires. Thought those v6 were reliable but Reddit has me thinking this engine will blow at any given time.

I know the head bolt recall will provide new engine if that’s the issue with engine but still.

Any advice is good advice lol.

I’m looking to purchase or lease a Sportage over this weekend and was curious what everybody here was able to get pricewise out the door. Has anybody had any success with negotiating better price than what they see online with Kia?

So what is the draw to kia/Hyundai? Genuinely curious.

First car I've ever bought, coming up on 40 years old. 2020 Sportage, about 100k miles on it.

Was a bit nervous about the whole process, and it has a few issues I didn't notice, but I think it'll work well enough for what I need to do (to/from work and college, not much else for now)

Now that I have a car, I can work on actually getting my license again.

The wireless charger pad in my 2026 Kia Sportage seems to just overheat my phone and doesn’t charge. The percentage is always less than when it start 😅 it shows on car play that it’s charging. But goes into the red instead of green. Is this a common issue? Or is my faulty?

It looks like the water pump is leaking. On their website it states that the water pump is covered by the power train warranty which they told me the car was still under.

I recently purchased a kia sportage. I recently found out it was in a collision prior to purchase. I am now looking for an outline of what parts it’s missing, or needs to be replaced under the bumper on the front left. So far I already know it needs a headlight assembly, front bumper cover, wheel liner cover. But i’m unsure on what is missing or what the parts are called. The dealer is doing the work on the car, but I want to make sure it’s done right, replacing everything needed.

Just bought my new 2026 K4 Harchback

I just want to preface I’m completely lost when it comes to cars and engines. So I have a 2020 Kia Sportage and in the last few months I’ve noticed that my car has started to retain water somewhere in the engine compartment area. I mainly notice it after it’s rained. So the next part I’m about to say I know sounds a little crazy but I don’t know how else to describe it. So whenever I make a left turn I can hear the water falling which is how I noticed the retaining water in the first place. After and during the waterfall the car runs fine, there’s no issues and no lights come on. The water only falls when I turn left, so right turns are fine. After a few left turns I can get rid of most of the water and the falling water stops, then doesn’t start again until it rains again. I’ve tried to look to see where the water might be sitting but don’t see anything. Also not sure where to even look. I’ve taken it in to get something else fixed and mentioned the water thing to the mechanic but he wasn’t able to hear anything because I think all the water was gone by the time it had gotten to him. I just want to get rid of the water spot because getting in my car after it’s been sitting isn’t fun. It feels muggy and the inside of the car can get humid. Occasionally I even find condensation on the inside of my car on the windshield. Please tell me someone else has this issue or maybe knows what the issue possible could be.

P.S. I was told that the frame has plugs that some times can get clogged so that might be where the water is but when I took it in to get the other problem fixed they said the plugs weren’t clogged.

I just bought a good used 2015 Kia Sedona LX with (I believe) the Type A gauge cluster - it has the small rectangular red LED display between the gauges that basically shows the current gear and the odometer. When I shift the vehicle into Park, the doors automatically unlock. I would like to disable that feature. Google is giving me instructions that don't correspond to the buttons I have on my steering wheel/display screen. I saw a forum post where somebody suggested it might need to be changed by the dealer. Can anybody give me info on whether this is something I can do, and if so, how?

Hey all, I’m looking for some advice! I have a 2018 Kia Soul with about 114k miles which started doing odd things on a long road trip (loss of thrust basically) twice when I had drive about 200mi continuously and was going up a hill at highway speeds. Took it to a mechanic who said that the transmission fluid shows signs of overheating and slippage, and he can see some clutch material is missing. He said I could probably keep it going for a few years if I only drive it locally but I’m eventually looking at transmission replacement. Would you keep it going? Look into transmission replacement? It just accept defeat and start car searching? Has anyone else been in a similar situation?

I have a 2018 Kia Soul Exclaim. The car has been dependable and fun to drive. I called the dealer today about my BSD failure. I was told I need to leave the car all day and $200 to diagnose the problem. That does not include the repair cost. Is this legit? How hard can it be to detect this problem?

Hi everyone! I have a 2020 Kia Rio S with the original factory touchscreen radio. I originally wanted to update the radio so it would have the newer Kia interface/software like the 2022 Kia Forte GT-Line/GT, but it sounds like that may not be possible with my original hardware.
If I keep my original 2020 Kia Rio radio, is there any way to add or activate built-in navigation/maps, SiriusXM, or wireless Apple CarPlay?
Specifically:
Can factory Kia navigation software be installed on a non-navigation Rio radio?
Is there an official Kia firmware/software update that adds navigation?
Can SiriusXM be activated if my radio doesn’t currently show a SiriusXM option?
Can I upgrade from wired Apple CarPlay to wireless Apple CarPlay while keeping the factory radio?
Would I need a separate SiriusXM tuner, antenna, USB module, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module, or other OEM Kia hardware?
Has anyone upgraded a 2018–2020 Kia Rio factory radio to add any of these features while keeping the original head unit?
Are there compatible OEM Kia modules or parts that can be retrofitted?
I already have wired Apple CarPlay, but I’m specifically interested in adding more factory-style Kia features without replacing the whole radio.
Thanks! Any advice from someone who has worked with Kia OEM infotainment systems would be appreciated.

Hello hoping to get some help on this

i usually use the usb port for music in my car and press Media button to play spotify from my phone

recently i tried using it and the media screen shows the song i’m playing, but no audio. i think at one point the audio was playing from my phone?

i tried switching to bluetooth and that worked completely fine

has this happened to anyone??? i’ve switched cables, turned off bluetooth, turned the car on and off, turned the phone on and off lol

I recently bought a 2019 Kia Forte S. The lane assistance is great and seems to work fine. But I have the forward collision assitance/warning set to early and have only had it trigger the warning once on the highway when traffic suddenly stopped.

I have felt like there have been some other times, especially with me having it set to early, when I had to stop quickly because someone ahead of me slammed on their brakes and such that it should have triggered the warning, but it didn't.

There are no lights on indicating a problem. Could it just be I am such an old man driver that it doesn't trigger the warning more?

Also, does this Kia model also brake automatically to avoid a collision?

I did some research and most places said I had to use SoundHound but I could not find it anywhere in the car

People who have a seltos do you like it?!

I'm considering a 2024 lx awd.

Has anyone missed a schedule service by a few months and was told their warranty is void? I’m gonna mixed answers from both Kia and general car dealerships. On one hand, they want to sell the car, and another they say don’t buy it.

So I’ve seen a fair few in the UK, that on the service logs where some were late by 1-2 months (still under 10,000 miles that period). Few cars I’m looking at in particular of which one hasn’t had ifs service done yet and its coming to 16 months. Guess they are just waiting on a buyer first.

One of the garages is actually chasing Kia for an answer on paper. Kia site themselves say the buyer just needs to get it serviced ASAP to bring it back. Kia reps said not true. A few Kia garage dealerships said they wouldn’t take that car under warranty as void because of missed schedules.

For context in 4 years this car has done 24,000 miles.

Anyone else had this issue of missed service schedules and had their warranty void in the UK? Though I’m sure it be the same worldwide.
