2021 KIA K5 TURBO AWD | Less Power Is Better

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We review the new 2021 Kia K5 GT Line Turbo AWD. (Kia Optima) After driving the 2.5T FWD and seeing the Sonata N Line, we were hoping the GT Line would be better. We take a quick look at the good and bad and discuss how it compared to the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and Hyundai Sonata.

    Guys, savagegeese has always been the full package for car reviews. Infotaiment to undercarriage walkthroughs. It's just awesome for someone to watch and informative for a buyer to make a buying decision. One request, like you do the driving impressions, can you also do a test of safety suit ? Like collision mitigation system. It need not be necessarily very scientific, just a basic test with cardboard cutouts resembling a car or a pedestrian.

The dealer had an addendum label next to the window sticker: $2995.00: dealer protection package, brake pulse system and ceramic paint protection. They ended up walking out. Most likely buying a different make. When they purchased their Toyota Highlander, they actually had a great experience.

    11:19 I'd have to respectfully disagree with that. Customer service in this time isn't necessarily better with one brand or another. It has to do with the dealership ownership/management and front line employees along with the regional office if an issue is escalated to them. Our Acura purchasing/servicing experience was a total nightmare at one dealership that we ended up switching to another and it's been smooth sailing. Heck, some Toyota dealerships sell so much in volume they really don't care if you're happy or not because another customer will come along in no time.

    I don't mind it but I don't think it will age well. I'm just glad that they tried something different. Cars have gotten boring and people always choose boring colors (black, grey, white, silver). Those colors can be good looking but everyone having them make them look basic. It's like having a black Mercedes in Paris, everyone will think you are a taxi driver.

A little research and I found it's really easy to take the door panel off and install new speakers. Everything is plug and play, 4 screws. Stupid easy. Anyone can do it. I'll be throwing in some Alpines or JBL to the front and rear doors.

    I agree on the K5, it already feels pretty "meh" to be honest. The Sonata seems to be aging well enough though, new Audi and Mercedes facelifts almost seem to be going the same way. People seem to like the K5 way more, or at launch they did, but I don't even recognize them on the road. When I see a Sonata I'm like "Oh! A new Sonata!" which is WEIRD for such a cheap car. Lol.

    I own this 2021 k5 1.6L with AWD. Though, it doesn't snow in southern Florida, there are torrential rains. This variant of the K5 suits me fine with plenty of peppiness for city driving. I thought one of the reviewers greatly diminished the aesthetics of the interior focusing on some of the hard touch plastic areas. I would have liked a full 10" digital gauge cluster found in the Stinger and the inclusion of a Bose sound system. The feedback to steering could be better. Frequent comparisons were made to Honda & Toyota. My second car is a 2021 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T, which I love!

    I was a fan of the old Optima, it's FWD, torque steering, presence was like a lower hp take on my trusty Impala. And that big ol' girl is fantastic in winter. The weight at the front gives it traction to deal with snow, and it holds firm pulling around bends and corners on the mountain roads in the Rockies. She will spin the tires a lot from a stop, but going easy on the throttle gets it going, and then it's all good. The Optima/K5/new Sonata are good vehicles, I just wonder how they fair going up and down those mountain roads that the Chevy eats like candy.

    You are right. And many Asian countries don't have the fuel quality for turbo, hence the persistence of naturally aspirated. BUT, if you are buying new and passing the turbo down, then you can't replace low rev torque and high end boost. Turbo every time. Also I've seen many 200k+ km turbos doing just fine.
