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.

Oh my lord, the @rse cooler’s, where have they been all my life!!! I love the KIA just for that…
How do you know its in the UK if ur dealership hasn’t contacted, Im only asking cause mine was shipped 3 weeks ago and my dealership has no update on when it will arrive at forecourt.
Dealership gave update last Thursday, it had not been sent updates that I recieved via kia myorder updates, so i passed on. I wait expect hear soon .
Yes I received the same mykia emails as well.
ahh so there a member on here that can track our kia shortages wonder if he can tell me what boat my car was on?
ohh wait he probably cant
Sounds like he knows more than all the dealerships put together within the UK.
heres hoping we get our cars soon been 3 weeks since I got the shipping email and dealer knows fff all.
You can track the names vehicle carriers Kia use, that are in port or are scheduled to arrive on x date to immigram with realtive ease. However, knowing what and who’s cars are actually on the ship is anyone’s guess and something only Kia can tell you.
My 4th kia myorder email was on 9/6/24 ,said your kia is on board ship with 1000s other kias bound for uk.
Any time now, Micky, and you’ll be getting the call to arrange pick up. Nearly 3 weeks in and the silly grin is still there. Especially as I’ve now ceramic coated the car, what a huge difference, it just doesn’t stop gleaming. Mind you, it nearly killed me doing it, but so worthwhile.
Hope you get the call soon.
Yes thankyou markymate ,my dealer talked me into haveing kia protective coat ,£300 , but I said well it’s not really my car but is for 3 years ,so I agreed to £100 paint protect job , not sure what it does ,dirt supposed to slide off ??. Yes I hope I hear from my dealership soon. Lovely looking car the green ,and blue looks great ,but I like red car, so my is inferer red.
My dealer used Diamond Brite nano ceramic finish to our car before collection, twisted his arm to do it before placing order. Would recommend it.
