I bought this thing 3 months ago, and will be diving out of it as soon as the '25s in Mazda, Honda, and Subaru are in to see and try. (No Toyotas; my local dealer is too shady.) I'll take a bath on its resale value, but, I want to take a trip cross-country and both my patience and my posterior will not take the punishment. First off, the seats are a complete pain in the [behind]. I am a big man. Tall, broad shoulders... think human grizzly bear. I also have very little padding in my posterior, so a seat needs to be comfortable. The Kia seats have what feels like a bar or something at the rear of the bottom cushion that is really noticeable. I recently drove from my town over to Knoxville, about a 250 mile round trip. I hurt so bad the next morning I was limping and needed my cane, which is rare. This seems to be something in Kia and Hyundai seating, as it is noticeable in other models. My brother complains of the same thing in his Santa Cruz, and I felt it in the seating in a '24 Hyundai Santa Fe. Another issue is the infotainment. The '23 and before systems were agonizingly slow to respond to input. The new one is snappy enough but the interface is one that fights you every step of the way, and you really can't configure it how you want it. Unlike Subaru with straightforward menus for setting up various vehicle options (lights on with wipers for example), Kia uses these ottsie-cutsie graphics with no really intuitive way of finding things. The instruction books that come with the car are more filled with lawyer-resistant disclaimers than with any useful information. Oh, and, how about a conventional speedo and tach that is just that, without any pretty-color nonsense and other distractions. One of the four settings yields what looks like conventional round gages but they are "enhanced" with what the designer thought would look whiz-bang. As for how it drives: it goes like it's been shot out of a cannon while maintaining what I consider to be good fuel economy. The engine noise can be intrusive when you "climb on it" but at cruise it's quiet. I already am feeling some oddities in the transmission at 1,400 miles (oh dear!) but generally it shifts competently and far more smoothly than I expected out of a dual clutch transmission. Based on comfort or the lack of it, the dodgy transmission, and the still-horrible user interface, I suggest one look at other makes and models before deciding. I'm very sorry I bought this thing, and likely will be going back to Subaru. My Ascent may have nanny-ed me to death with the driver monitor but it was more comfortable, more competent, and far easier to work with. (I now know how to defeat the nanny-cam system).

Fantastic SUV. The captains chairs are an amazing addition as it makes the 3rd more than an after thought. Much bigger on the inside than looks on the outside. The safety and technology is high end even on the lower trims. Absolutely thrilled!

1. Lots of tech ...need to learn it 2. I'm a V-6 V-8 naturally aspirated engine guy but was impressed by the 2.5 turbo take for ride and see yourself 3. its has lots of room nice interior and is quiet low to no wind rode noise even with the rugged tires 4. 87 gas and still enough power and good gas mileage 5. price was very fair compared to others 6. If you want the gas version the interior ambient lighting is option only at dealership So far I'm happy with purchase just need to learn coming from Honda and Ford but rides just as good.
