  1. Jaden...True! But at least there is a third row. The Edge, Murano, Blazer etc...don't offer it. And this third row is about the same as the Highlander, and much bigger than the RX.

  2. Usually Doug is better informed about the vehicles he reviews. Smartstream G indicates it's their new engine family and it's gasoline powered. There's also a Smartstream D, which is diesel powered. X Line is just one off trim for this car, which is the "off road" version and gets a slight increase in ground clearance and a unique paint color. There ya go Doug! You're welcome!

  3. Would you consider the Yukon and Tahoe rivals?

  4. Henry....Thank you! I was thinking the same thing!

  5. G stands for gasoline. They also have a Smartstream D, which is diesel.

  6. Isn't everything in the US cheaper than Belgium?

  7. This engine is an all new design and they had some super Germans working on it. Should be ok!

  8. Scott...You should at least consider it in this class.

  9. Shepherd...It's an all star design team, to be honest. Donckerwolke, Biermann, Lee, Schreyer. Nobody has more talent.

  10.  @hiddenturbo2322  Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this get the 2.2L Smartstream diesel engine? That has 200hp and 325lb.ft

  11. They are technically in the same class.

  12. Are you guys not American? Telluride is town in Colorado.

  13.  @jaredshelton4718  I'm not even American and I've heard of it!

  14. Prakritt...Yes, true. Nobody makes a body on frame in this class, right? In other markets, Kia still makes one body on frame; the all new Mohave. It's pretty sweet!

  15.  @shankarwain4289  I actually owned a diesel model of that original Sportage. Loved it!

  16. Isn't Sorento a place in Italy?

  17.  @ZGryphon  Good to know!

  18.  @jeremykwak8586  I also had that car. LOved it!

  19. Omar...Australia as well, though it's actually less powerful than this 2.5T.

  20. Ben...It actually just indicates it's a gas engine, as opposed to the Smartstream D, which is diesel.

  21. Brady...It's not a package. I believe that's just their designation for AWD. "X Drive"

  22.  @bradygeisler4601  I see. We don't get X Line here. We do get M sport though.
