Now I’m told my25 kia sportage gts does not have accustic glass, yet other brands do , I understand 30th addition korea had it, anyone know why it’s not included ,is it that hev is quiet anyway ?.
Two weeks in my Sportage HEV, Micky, And I have to say it’s as quiet as a nunnery at midnight!! While I agree with @kezo regarding the attributes of acoustic glass, the Sportage is still a quiet and comfortable drive. We will just have to wait another 3 years to compare!!
Drive sensibly it’s no different to any mainstream car, it’s only when the engine is called for at higher rev’s they becomes quite vocal. Hyundai also improved the sound insulation around the wheels arches and firewall, which I believe Kia has also done (read somewhere) on the 25 Sportage. Acoustic glass has just added an extra layer of hush, however unlike EV’s its only the windscreen a front passengers side windows that are acoustic.
What is good on these cars is, you won’t be wanting for additional factory options seen with other brands, as everthing is included, including @rse cooler’s, which if you have never had them are a god send in warm weather.
