As always will try to release what I see here before you see it anywhere else.

None of the following is official but what I can see with new codes and opt group showing on our internal side.


LX model looks to stay the same

S model now offers a Sunroof package(So looks like optional)

EX model now showing a Mahogany Interior. Also showing a Navy/Gray interior. Along with our current Black and Gray interior options.

SX model now showing a Mahogany Interior. I don't see butterscotch or espresso anymore but do see in its replacement a Navy/Gray interior. Still seeing our current Black and Gray options.

SX Prestige AWD showing Mahogany Interior as well as current Black and Gray option.

New Trims:

X-Line EX AWD showing a Terracotta Interior and Sage Green Interior.
X-Line SX AWD showing a Terracotta Interior and Sage Green Interior.
X-Pro SX AWD showing a Terracotta Interior and Sage Green Interior.
X-Line SX Prestige AWD showing a Terracotta Interior and Sage Green Interior.
X-Pro SX Prestige AWD showing a Terracotta Interior and Sage Green Interior.

Exterior colors:

S showing Dawning Red/ Ebony Black/ Everlasting Silver/ Dark Moss/ Glacial White Pearl/ Gravity Gray/ Midnight Lake Blue
EX FWD and AWD showing Dawning Red/ Ebony Black/ Everlasting Silver/ Dark Moss/ Glacial White Pearl/ Gravity Gray/ Midnight Lake Blue
SX FWD and AWD showing Dawning Red/ Ebony Black/ Everlasting Silver/ Dark Moss/ Glacial White Pearl/ Gravity Gray/ Midnight Lake Blue
X Line/X Pro lines showing all colors as well as Wolf Gray and Jungle Green minus Dawning Red.

I know we have a ton of new people here. Please keep this information of our forum. We like to keep things here.
Will share additional information as I see it.

Thanks as always and for helping grow this community.

Thanks for the info. No longer offering Black Copper so I guess I’m getting a classic. Sangria gone replaced by Dawning Red. Also Midnight Lake Blue and Jungle Green. Wish we could see these on the lot.

 

[rcoplien]

Wonder if you can get the SX prestige package with Dawning Red? I could not get it with Sangria which sucked. I went with Everlasting Silver instead for 2nd choice so I could still get the prestige package.

 

[Socal949]

Some new exciting colors and interior options for sure! Can’t wait to see pictures of the new offerings. Thanks for sharing as always.

Thanks for the insight. Bummed butterscotch is gone. Hope my order gets picked up before the changeover or else I’m out

Stephen, I have so many questions. Hopefully you can at least take an educated stab but if not, I will wait for more official info from Kia.

X-Line SX Prestige AWD showing a Terracotta Interior and Sage Green Interior. Does this mean that Black is not an INT open on the X-Line SX Prestige AWD? Or are these just new INT options? You say you can still see black earlier in your post, but just want to check.

Guesses on how 2022 orders will port to 2023 given the new trims and no NF? IE, will a NF order covert to an X-Line? Then X-Pro would be an all new order? I ordered an SX-P NF and am curious to know if that will convert to an X-Line SXP.

Side note, I about had a heart attack on the colors until I read the last bullet, I thought WG was gone and that is the color I ordered.

Really interested in the Navy Grey interior. I wonder if it's going to be like the Navy Grey from the Sorento PHEV or is it going to be the reverse of that since I don't see a lighter color in the mix for 2023. Thanks for the information @StephenCantrelle

 

[Slack Attack]

Thanks for the info! Looks like the only way to get a Wolf Gray is to order in X-Line/X-Pro form with that hideous front bumper. Such a huge bummer. Seriously hoping my '22 SX WG NF order comes through before the '23 hits. Otherwise may just have to switch up the game plan and go with just a regular SX. The new interior colors are definitely intriguing!

Thanks Stephen! Glad to see them expanding the interior choices.

 

[yDD5]

Thanks for the post & info!

So it looks like Dune Brown interior is replaced by Mahogany? Wonder how much color will change there. Can't wait to see a Midnight Lake Blue with Mahogany interior. If my order is pushed to a '23, sounds like that would be a nice looking color combo.

Wonder when we'll get more details on when the MY switchover is.

Has anyone confirmed/seen pictures that prove the X-Line will also get the terrible front bumper? The 2023 model at the NY Car Show was the X-Pro and other pictures online don't seem to have a confirmed model so I assume they are also the X-Pro.

My last string of hope is that the terrible bland gray bumper is a feature of the X-Pro to make it seem super "off roady" and the lower level X-Line's will be a more subdued version that blacks out the trim but keeps a normal, body colored bumper.

Seeing that the Gravity Gray is still an option gives me hope that even if the ugly bland gray bumper is on the X-Line, GG will hopefully match it close enough to where it doesn't stand out as much. If not, I may have to switch things up as well. That bumper is the only thing I don't like about the 2023.

This is the X-Line:


In addition to the ”X-line” badge out back, you can see this has 20” wheels, rather than the 18” wheels (and larger tires) seen on the X-Pro.

Hey there..
I sent you a message on FB group about the mirroring from your phone to the UVO system.
My username name there is Jay Bird.
Inquiring about the cost and website.

 

[v.anushh88]

Hi Stephen, Thank you for the info. Is the digital speedo standard across the all trims like sportage? Any clue on production start date?

 

[Hangfire]

Not stoked about the front bumper or raised roof rails. @StephenCantrelle When would you guess more info and pictures will drop on the trims, specifically the X Line?

Was it a direct message? Either way, It's products like the following that I'm using. It can do wireless android auto or carplay. It also acts as a stand alone android tablet for your car. If you're familiar with Android it's a breeze to use but if not the learning curve isn't that hard at all. TOO KEEP IN ON TOPIC FOR THE 2023 DISCUSSION. THIS WILL LOOK GREAT ON THE LARGER 12" SCREEN.

This is the one I'm using

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09NVGQ25K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You can find it cheaper elsewhere by about 20-30 bucks BUT i bought from amazon since it's easy to return if in fact you don't like the box.

This is the one I'm eyeing to go on sale. It has a faster processor. The other box works pretty well but I'm always eyeing for a better experience.

So wait... you can download YouTube and watch it in the car?

Yes you can but please search for the corresponding thread wireless android auto and discuss there. I don't want to derail this thread.

Appears that the Black and Gray options are available on all trims.

With these new trims I am not quite sure how the crossover will go this year. It was pretty simple in prior years but with this I don't know how it will go for those initial crossover orders.

Just rumors at this time.. I like to wait for more firm info before saying anything
