I took delivery of a 2025 K5 GT with the GT1 package in Wolf Gray and a black interior on June 8th. My birthday was on June 9th. Pretty cool present if I do say so myself…
Really curious what the driving dynamics are like with all that torque going to the front wheels with no LSD. Does it wheel hop really bad when accelerating hard from a stand still?
I rented a 2021 Kia K5 GT-Line AWD and it is 100% my favorite car to drive. I do like aesthetic exterior look of the 2021 versus the 2025. The 2025 interior however definitely caught my eye and I favor it more than the 2021. $33K is definitely a reach for me but I can see with all its features, it’s worth it. My favorite feature has to be the panoramic roof and the seat design. I’d love to see it with the red interior! Loved watching this video!
I think Kia missed a great opportunity to attach a hybrid configuration. The previous 1.6t was far more entertaining and quicker. The interior/exterior is spot on...but this new engine seems underpowered. I would imagine 0-60 m.p.h. 7.8sec? What's with this new trend of fake exhaust with cars in general...lazy design. Bring back two exhausts....😮
@@ogzoika9944 The 2025 K5 is the 2025 KIA OPTIMA. Just like they changed the name of the KIA Forte is now KIA K4. Ask Alexa what replace the KIA Optima and the KIA Forte, it’s called MARKETING..

How is it holding up for you ? I’ve been looking at one myself and been debating on pulling the trigger on the GT
@@Khaled-eo9mr It's a great car. Get the GT with the GT1 package. You won't regret it...
Same K5 GT with a mat sliver color with the GT1 package I'm loving it

Thanks for your input and I’m glad you liked the video!
Ok this is the best looking steering wheels
Yuhh just got mines today in red
I call that fob the 'detonator'
So how you barely pressed the gas and it reach 6000 rpm, is that bad or normal to reach that high? Isn’t close to red line?

wish they offered these in Canada still 😭
Can you turn off the stop/ start feature? If it has it.
It doesn't have it, thankfully
No back seat air vents ... yes ...next car please ....
Spend some more and get the EX model
Yes. That’s a deal breaker to me too!
Imagine people in the back seat complaining about vents!
Unbelievable. Next car please
For 33k seems like you get a lot of feature… 45k civic type r doesn’t have rear ac controls either lol
It’s does it’s only available on the ex and gt trim.
EX trim has them.
Tank you
Is it that hard to steer that you need two hand on the wheel.
Heaven forbid someone wants to be safe and drive with two hands.

It’s a beautiful car, but I absolutely hate the black mirrors. They should be body colored.
we’re in 2024 not 2002
