Happy Memorial Day to all! Hope everyone is enjoying a safe and fun holiday weekend. For this comparison, we were supposed to get the Sonata N-Line to do a proper comparison test with the K5 GT. At the last minute, the Hyundai wasn’t available but they sent us a Limited. We were surprised to see the Limited is actually more expensive versus the N-Line so we decided a $35k dollar question comparison would be a helpful way of showing the two vehicles. We like speed and tech, but what if you had to choose one or the another? Let us know which you’d go with!

I like the K5 better. I feel like I'd still want a Stinger GT2 AWD, but I'd like to test drive the 2.5T version of the K5. My biggest question to all of these manufacturers: Why are you still using non-LEDs for **any** lighting? Do you have a huge parts bin you need to use up? Nothing ruins a nice LED setup by tossing in the random incandescent, arbitrarily...

Just got the 2021 K5 GT Line with red interior and wolf gray outside. LOVE the car. Definitely a head turner. It’s quick, wide and relatively low to the ground, making it feel very sporty. Also love the orange DRLs, makes them stand out against all the white ones on every other car.

I really like how Hyundai and KIa are going with more distinctive fascia designs; it's a breath of fresh air in an industry where everyone plays it safe with their design language, and nearly every car on the road looks identical to the one behind it. Between the two of these I think I prefer the K5 overall, even if the name itself is lame.

I perfer the KIA. I love its design and how it's not overly tech'd out. More of a driver's car.

Wow, it's like he read my mind on which cars I had in mind. The exact comparison I was looking for.

I have the Sonata N-Line and I get people asking me questions about the car, more than any other car I owned. People can talk about how the front looks etc. I really don't care because I'm going to be in the car driving it and with what the N-Line offers, I'm very happy with it and the way it drives. I was getting ready to leave the mall one day, putting bags in the back and this guy asked me from his car that was parked near me what car it was, I told him and he asked if he could see the inside. I showed him and he explained that he was always a Benz guy but he said he loved the different look of this car and I explained to him all the features for the price and he said he's going to a dealer to test drive it. Get what you like, I don't base my thoughts on what others think of it. I love nothing more than putting the panoramic sunroof back on a summer day, putting it in Sport mode and having some fun on the open road.

I’ve ridden in a 2018 Benz S class and in a 2021 Sonata limited and I can’t believe I’m admitting this out loud but I’ll take the Hyundai any day. It also has this feel of “unpredictability” to it. Like people hear “Hyundai” and they expect low end but then you actually get inside the 2021 sonata limited and it blows your mind. I’m giddy like a kid with the tech features. The limited has a little more tech specs than the N line. I love it!

Not really my guy when you compare the GT with the N-line the GT has a couple of better features like a 360 view camera system, power passenger seat and power folding mirrors, which are features absent from the N-line honestly the only exclusive feature on the N-line is the digital cluster. Now if you compare the EX with premium package against the Sonata Limited then the Hyundai destroys the Kia.

Here is my take. I test drove the K5 EX and Sonata Limited twice. I really liked the K5 exterior over the Sonata'; however, I found the K5 ran harsher/noisier than the Sonata (same tranny and engine). The Sonata has a better interior with digital dash and HUD. I love tech features and I wanted these things in my daily drive. Over all, the Sonata won out. I must say the K5's Wolf Gray color is outstanding, so I got the closest color to that in the Hampton Gray with the Sonata. So far, I enjoy the Sonata. But both cars are excellent products.

She gets up and moves and has more than enough power for someone like me. So far I love the car, no complaints. :)

You might want to think about that. The Stinger GT-Line has the same engine as the K5 GT, a far more upscale interior, a much better sound system (with the "Sun and Sound" package) , and most importantly an RWD platform that tames the inevitable torque steer and wheel hop of the K5 GT. All for an MSRP of $38K compared to the $35K for a fully loaded K5 GT. Further, if you want RWD biased AWD you can have it for another $2K, or so, a feature not available at any price on the K5 GT or the Sonata.

The Sonata is unique and fresh and I know will continue to look great moving forward. The Sonata looks way better in person as well. Of course I am a biased buyer but the interior takes the cake for me. I do wish the Sonata had an LSD, but I don’t plan on racing it like that. Someone in the comments did mention that the Kia is more for the driver enthusiast and I agree with them.

Funny! My wife and I just went through this. I liked the look and features of the Sonata N line. My Wife like the look of the K5 GT! We ultimately chose the K5 GT believe it or not, only because the seats were more comfortable!

The 2022 Kia K5 EX with the EX Premium package & the GT trim with the GT1 package now include the Surround View Monitor (SVM) which is the 360° camera system

Kia and Hyundai are both stepping their games. The K5 is good looking but I'd take the Sonata a beautiful car don't get me wrong but are stylish cars it seems the Sonata might have more aggressive look.

the sonata’s design just flows better than the k5’s. also, i hate kia’s faux hatch look in the back. i’m like, just give the car a hatch, instead of that horrible black trim. i think hyundai has it on the elantra, but the elantra is also a weird looking car from the side profile.

Not having all the nanny cams isn’t necessarily a bad thing, so shouldn’t be knock. More tech means more to break after warranty.

I agree that the optima nameplate was better suited for the Kia but I'll still take the K5 for sure.

I think I like the Sonata from an every day safety standpoint, especially the blind spot cameras which would come into use virtually every time you drive it.

Great review. Happy Memorial Day. My Opinion Is The Hyundai Sonata

I'd take the K5 GT with the GT1 package. You may not get the digital display cluster that you get in the Sonata but I'd take ventilated seats over the digital display everytime. You also get a power passenger side seat in the K5 GT. The K5 GT looks better than the Sonata N-Line in my opinion, it would be nice if you could get more exterior and interior color options, for instance for the Canadian market you can get the K5 GT in gravity gray that's not an option for the American market.

I agree, the K5 is way sexier in my opinion and it's more distinguished from other offerings in the segment. However, the Sonata does have the nicer more advanced interior. Combined the exterior design and engine from the K5 GT with the interior and tech from the Sonata and you'd have the perfect sport-touring sedan.

I picked up a sonata limited last month. I liked the looks ok the kia alot more but wanted the Hyundai tech. 360 cam HUD and digital gauges in particular. I dive over 100 miles a day for work and frequently average 40 mpg highway.

I was really on the fence on this one but I ultimately end up going with the 2022 K5. I'm really happy I did as not only is this car going to get noticed. But has an interior which feels a bit more executive then it really is. No complaints so far but I do recommend the higher trims if you can get it. EX or GT would be my recommendations here. The GT has the bigger 2.5 Turbo Engine with dual clutch transmission I believe. But as someone who just came from a dual-clutch in my 18 Ford Focus. I have to be honest I'm not a big fan of them. K5 does have a dual-clutch but it's in the GT model. Ford's had problems though so maybe it's just a manufacturer issue.

so I've been deciding between the GT and the N-Line for the last 2-3 months and the test drives sealed the deal for me; the N-Line had everything I wanted in terms of drivability, fun factor and interior design and amenities while the GT gave off really strong rental car vibes once you were inside. It's just so lackluster compared to its N-Line cousin

Both sedans are good-looking. I rather have the Kia K5. The styling and setup are more of my level taste. I am happy simply getting for just the GT-Line or EX trim for the Kia K5. For a sub-$30K with Kia is fantastic.

Great video Sofyan! For me, any Hyundai or Kia model that doesn't have an "N" at the end of the model number doesn't really get my attention any more. "N-Line" might perk me up a bit, but its the N models that to me represent the true extent of Hyundai/Kia car technology. The tendency for most American shoppers these days frankly is going to be to just ignore the sedans and go directly to the Tuscon or Santa Fe or Telluride. I suspect only the N or N-Line would be enough to change that, and I really love all the power Hyundai and Kia have managed to get out of the N. Without that N power, if I'm thinking solely about the sedan form factor, then frankly my mind gravitates toward a model Y or an IS350 or a Mach E.

The Canada 2022 n line has HUD, heated steering wheel, left/right turn signal cameras, 360 camera, HDA and power driver seat :) I got mine last week

Just my 3 cents.. Yeah, maybe the K5 has a bit more pop on the styling... but the Sonata still looks nice, and will still get stares from people. I'd go with the Sonata, as since I will be inside the car, spending all my time, that's where I want all the goodies. Which, I think the general consensus is, the Sonata comes out ahead So I'm inside all the time, wouldn't we want that? Outer styling? K5 a slight advantage Inner looks, amenities, styling? Sonata, huge advantage Others may have different things they are looking for in this mid-size class, but the basics as he outlines, Sonata for me, as even though the K5 might have a slight edge on the outer, Sonats nails it with the interior

Traded my ‘19 Grand Cherokee Altitude 4x4 in to save some money. Chose the Sonata Limited thinking it would be a downgrade, but so far this is my favorite vehicle I’ve owned. Only 200 miles in so time will tell, but I’m loving the tech and real leather. Portofino Grey looks fantastic in sunlight and I really like the camel interior. I like the design but could see why many people wouldn’t. N Line was tempting but dealer discount and manufacture rebates made it a no brained for me.

Great review, just wished it was a direct comparison to the Sonata N Line.

Just got the same sonata limited. Love it

I just came off lease on a great 2019 Kia Optima SXL turbo but the newer K5 offered less equipment than my Optima. I now am iny the 2023 Sonata Limited due to the interior design and tech which is more important to me than the exterior design. I think both the Sonata and K5 are better looking than any of their competitors but give a slight edge to the K5. I find the Sonata's acceleration and handling more than sufficient for my needs.

Any chance you might be reviewing the 2022 Kona N-Line/Limited trims soon?

Although both have cohesive design elements and come across as a complete package, the Kia is just so well put together with seemingly a lot of extra detail to make it look just more finessed where the Hyundai looks classy and dynamic but just not as polished and dynamic.

Would you go with the K5 gt line AWD over the Mazda 6 carbon edition?

I have an 18 se Sonata and the N line is in my sights. I like the front end of the K5 better. Another option im considering is the Stinger GT line. AWD is important to me but our second vehicle is a 22 Tucson so... We will be ok for the inclement weather. Im torn but overall im leaning tward the N line.

I like the rear view of the Sonata, THATS where it ends. The K 5 is gorgeous.

I got a 2021 Glowing Yellow Sonata SEL Plus with the Tech Package 2 days ago. Love it. My favorite car so far!!

Unpopular opinion i love the way the sonata looks. I feel like they did really good with it. I like the DRLs on the hyundai better than the k5. To me i could care less about performance. Dont need anything speedy like many people like / want here. Although... my mother owns the 2021 Hyundai Sonata 1.6t in glowing yellow. Got it in November and now has 21k miles. Been a great car for her. Not to many features like the limited but enough for her. She loves it. Also cant tell you how many complements she gets on the car.. literally all the time. People love the color / shocked its a Hyundai.

it’s sad that brands go so hard making these new vehicles just for the dealers to jack the prices up. in my city neither of these are selling for what they should be :(

Yep dealer near me said they have a 10k mark up on the k5’s

The 2022 Kia K5 finally got the new Kia Logo. Can't wait to get the LXS trim.

I like the Sonatas better because of its sporty luxury look especially the headlights. I have a 2023 SEL Plus with 1.6 turbo, such amazing gas saver (30-35+ mpg), best car I’ve ever owned

I like BOTH, but I Choose the Hyundai.

Both are great cars, the Hyundai sonata I'd only get in the sel plus, limited, or N trim because those are the best looking trims for the sonata

I love your videos

Does the Kia's steering return to center? I drove a Forte years ago that did not and it was definitely a deal breaker.

This is Brand engineering done right, underneath the sheetmetal has theshared parts but everything else is unique

I really liked the Honda 2.0t and the K-5Gt but chose the Sonata N-line in Hampton Grey. Get a lot of compliments on it's elegant looks . People can't believe it's a Hyundai most think its the new Audi. I feel whether you pick either of these three you can't go wrong.

Between the two I would choose the new Base Model Stinger with AWD for about the same price.

I would get the Sonata hands down much more tech for the money, however the reviewer kept saying the GT-Line compares more favorably to the Sonata Limited but that’s false the GT-Line compares with the Sonata SEL Plus the EX with the premium package is the direct competitor to the Limited, although even fully loaded still falls short against the Sonata however it baffles me that Kia offers the fully digital cluster and surround view camera system on the K5 in Canada but not the U.S, but even weirder is how both these vehicles comes from the same manufacturer and at the same time are so different when it comes to features available.

For 35,000, I'd rather get a TLX A-SPEC over a plastic Kia/Hyundai

The a spec is smaller and 10k more, and Kia and Hyundai are pretty good quality for the price, better than Toyota, also the Acura has less power than both

The k5 from Korea is way better then the u.s version because it has a digital display it's a damn shame they didn't bring it to the u.s

Great 👍🏿 reviews on both but the Kia wins

I like both, they both are from the same family!

What I really wonder is their reliability...

Apart from there hefty recalls (doesn't affect every registered owner) and campaigns, and you don't neglect maintenance, its very good. Seen too many people bring their car in with complaints from maintenance neglect trying to get free warranty service. Which would backfire on them. Warranty only covers manufacturer defects not damages caused by customers or wear and tear parts.

Driving a 7 year old loaded Cadenza with a 293hp v6, and everything still works great, and it's been in for tires and brakes outside of regular maintenance.
