K5 GT owner here. I have a 2022 K5 GT Wolf Grey with the GT1 package. I've had my K5 for almost 2 years now, I'm at about 20k miles. This car overall has been great to me. I still enjoy driving it every day and it's fun to send it around corners. The front traction is definitely a weak point, but once you learn how to modulate the throttle during initial acceleration, it's not so bad. This car would certainly benefit from AWD, but I understand Kia not wanting to step on the toes of the base model Stinger (or what used to be, now that the Stinger is no longer be produced). Sometimes, hearing those tires squeal is just part of the fun! I still get compliments on this car from random people which I really love honestly! There are certainly those people who don't even know what the car is and when you tell them a Kia their response is always "that's a Kia?!" I drove this car nearly across the country on a 30 hour, 2,000 mile roadtrip and it was excellent. My car was full of stuff and I averaged 33 MPG over the whole trip. The driver assist tech is awesome. Kia/Hyundai/Genesis has some of the best driver assist tech for the money in the business in my opinion. It makes driving on the highway much more relaxing and enjoyable. For weak points, I have had an issue with the driver's side fog light turning off randomly. I took it to Kia and they said they could not replicate the issue. So I'm just ignoring it for now (but it does bother me). Kia service is certainly not the strong suit of the brand, in my experience at least. I'm also not the biggest fan of the Bose sound system that comes with the GT1 package. It is pretty weak IMO. Lately, I feel Bose is not as good as they once were when it comes to vehicle sound systems.

I have the regular GT package--2024 Wolf Gray (this color is fantastic, I just wish it were more rare). The traction definitely is an issue. I chirp the tires in 2nd or 3rd when using the paddle shifters.

yeah bose sucks.

I just purchased a GT Line in Glacier white, red interior, AWD, and sunroof. I love the car with the exception of having to purchase Home Link as a dealer installed option. The K5 GT Line in AWD is hard to find in my neck of the woods. I got lucky and bought it 3 hours after it came off the transport that brought it in from Tacoma. It was fun watching the detail guys unwrap the car.

Spot on .. I really like the upholstery that they offer on the K5

this one the car we all need 🔥🔥🔥🚨

Enjoyed the review

That saddle brown 🥺! Woooooo

what a marvelous car

crazy thing I used to live exactly where you drove thru years ago

You just sold me on this luxury hotrod!.. I'm digging it! Thank you, sir!!

You're driving the GT like I have, it doesn't come with the adaptive stop and go cruise. You need the extra $4k GT1 package to get that option. Also comes with Bose sound, Ventilated seats and Projector headlamps vs the reflector.

You get so much compare to competition. I've been driving huyndai and kia products since I can remember and most likely will stick to them for the rest of my life. You get so much for money it's crazy. I was able to pick up 2021 G70 3.3t sport prestige with only 20K miles in pristine condition for $30K. Tell me where else you can find 365 hp car with big sunroof, heated/cooled seats, heated rear seats, heat steering wheel, sensing wipers, heads up display, dual ac control, smart ventilation. The car is amazing and reliable. Kia/Hyundai my fav brand

Nice love the car 🔥

I had one and I loved it. Only reason I traded it was because of its front wheel drive.

Nice interior

Why i only find FWD of the gt version when the webpage says it is AWD?

i need this car ASAP

wait until the refresh, makes no sense to get this car when u can get the new one with more features next year for the same price.

I was pretty much set on the 24 Elantra N... But after seeing the 25 K5 GT now im not so sure what to buy. Obviously the EN is more fun and has the superior handling and exhaust sound, but K5 looks better, nicer quality interior with more features etc.

Wish kia would update the k5 for 2024 like they did for the sonata but at least they made some changes

Yes! I love my '24 GT but when I am going up an incline, like in my apartment complex parking garage, it feels pretty jerky to me and makes me think something is wrong. Glad im not the only one I guess...

Your video is very detailed from the camera angle to the very realistic sound quality. Kia K5 in Vietnam only uses a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, 18inch wheels. The option seems more about the digital screen, HUD. The speakers don't sound good and the quality of the leather seats is also not good.

I seen a K5 gt go toe to toe with a manual EN on the I95 at from about 60 mph-100mph

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I was in the market for a K5 GT because I have a 2011 Kia Optima SX. And then I learned of the Elantra N. No more K5 for me. The mere fact that the EN is available in 6M made all the difference. Nothing else mattered after that.

Don't know what dealer would let you have a GT for $33k. I see them priced from $35 - $38k. I guess you can try to negotiate.

Zor ❤

I was so hoping it would be AWD...

You made it look small..

dual clutch is absolutely trash, especially inside of a kia. DO NOT buy this car, you will have repair bills up the ass.
