I bought the 2023 Kia K5 Gt-line with sunroof, so far the car is a blast riding and makes driving fun for someone who hates driving. 10/10 glad i made this choice
Glad to see someone else loving this trim as much as me. I just got my k5 Gt-line with red leather in wolf grey and I love it so much. The wolf grey reminds me a lot of Honda's sonic grey and I was either doing a civic hatch, or the k5.
@Dale Macarena KiA's biggest problem is name recognition. Just look what happened with the Stinger. It's going to be a classic and only in it's first run. Considering it's being discontinued next year, bummer!! Not that the Stinger wasn't a good car either. In fact it was surprisingly a great car. Nearly nabbing 2018 car of the year. But when you're spending sub $50,000 here. You run into brand recognition problems. Lexus, Audi, and BMW is what you normally associate with that bracket. Not KiA and that is a shame because that car is a Keeper! Fortunately for KiA the K-5 is selling much better. Being the proud owner of one myself no complaints!! :)
19:45 i thought that was where u just rest ur phone at? cause on the ex trim wireless charger is where the usb is at unless its different for every trim but in the videos i've seen thats a cooling place cause there's a fan there to cool off the phone. like i said i could be wrong about it.
I just bought a 2022 k5 gt line yesterday and I find out the wireless charger only works when the doors are shut. It’s not perfect but it does work most of the time
I love the new K5. I want the GT model with 290hp and 10.25 infotainment screen in Blue. The only thing the big screen loses the wireless Apple Carplay/Android Auto feature. But it has built in navigation. The Korean market K5 gets all the features that the America market don't offer. Like rotary shift dial, ambient lighting, heated rear seats, and full digital gauge with blindspot camera built in the dash. Pretty much like the new Sonata has, which Hyundai and Kia are sister companies.
Yeah that Gt model not nothing to play with lol. & everything you just said is great! & yeah America need to catch up lol, but on the other hand, Kia doing their thing frfr.
Set the distance your smart cruise will stay at behind the car in front of you. You can set at one car length, two, three, four, or as far back as you want to follow the car in front of you. Once your car gets to the distance you set, it will slow down and match the speed of the car in front of you, and if the car in front of you stops your car will stop. But always take into account the speed you're going and the stopping distance you may need and be prepared to stop the car yourself. I love it in stop-and-go traffic. When the car in front stops it stops and when the car in front move it move and will resume the speed I had it set for when traffic clears.
Also that button on the bottom right of the steering wheel I think sets the distance of the vehicle you're following when you're in adaptive cruise control. Could be wrong but that's the icon for the Subaru same thing
1.6 Liter & its pretty ok to say it only produces 180 hp. 0-60 is pretty good. I have something coming tho that’ll make it surpass its limits. Stay tuned!
Maybe you can lay a sheet or a towel or buy the rubber mat for your trunk like I do so that work boots and shoes and everything won’t make the trunk floor dirty and smelly over time. It may not matter to some people but I have had grocery bags leak and other things spill and I don’t like my trunk floor getting dirty and stained so I keep towels or rubber floor mates back there to set the dirty things on. It really helps but maybe you trade your cars so often that it doesn’t matter.
The reason why the AC fan started going higher when you lowered the temp is because you had it on automatic. The car will automatically change the climate settings based on the temperature you set.
Also the car button with the 3 lines is to adjust your follow distance with radar cruise control. It will set the distance to stay behind a vehicle on the highway if you don’t feel like manually holding the gas.
Why did you leave your sprays in the trunk of the car. They are not ideal due to flammable by hot temperature in the summer times. Also when you make many turns, those sprays of yours keeps rolling and banging the walls of the trunk constantly.
I just ordered my 2022 k5 gt line just last week in the wolf grey of course What percentage of tint you got up there? I'm thinking of doing 5% rear, 15% front and rear sides and 70% windshield when I get mine
Great video but your rims are 18 inch not 16 inch. it even says it on your tires. 235/45 R18. The bottom of the line model K5 LX comes with 16-inch rims.
“I don’t know who she been riding with but it ain’t me” lol y’all are so funny! Thanks for the review just bought a 2021 Kia K5 yesterday this video really helped explain all the features!
Good video bro! I pick mine up Monday morning I ordered it. Wolf grey AWD with the panoramic sunroof heated seats and heated steering wheel I live in Chicago.
Lx, lxs is definitely cheaper. You can get the lxs with the package of what the gt gives like the panoremic roof but not the fog lights or the aggressive styling.
I just bought the forte GT-line, and was wondering why you upgraded. Like was something wrong with the forte? And as a completely side question, how's the sound system and bass on that forte?
I upgraded because i wanted something bigger & i been eyeing the K5 for a min & i was like yeahhh i need that. But nothing was wrong with the forte. I loved it! & the sound system was great but i went in my settings to adjust how it sounded, to make it louder
First off congratulations on the new car! I bought a Kia Sorento SX Prestige XLine in March! I was considering the K5 GT but when I saw the Sorento in Aruba Green with the rust Nappa leather interior I had to get it!!
This is great! My neighbor about 7 houses down bought one do these and I haven’t been able to ask her how she likes it! So thanks for sharing this real world opinion piece with us! You are so hard to keep up with James! But I’m so happy for you. This is nice! I want to get one too! Lol remote start is great! Bless you man!
Nice car bro, I’m thinking about getting one, question for you is it fast? Or just fast enough? Some people say that it needs more power some others say that it is fast. I would appreciate your reply to this comment.
I really like this, I drive a 2015 Hyundai Elantra. I’m deciding if I want to trade my car in or not. But I still owe on it though, I owe in between $7k to $8k. And what’s the name of the tires you have again?
Hey man ✌🏻, nice videos! I’ve seen some and I liked them 👍🏻 I own a 2019 KIA Forte EX Premium and I’m really satisfied with the car so far. Just wanted to let you know that the wireless charger doesn’t work with open doors, close them and it’ll work 👍🏻 Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽!
Dude, you DONT need engine cleaner on a NEW CAR!! JUST SPRAY IT OF LIGHLTY at the self service car wash, on rinse. and dry it with a hand towel. And NEVER USE THE WAND BRUSH! You will scratch the paint all up.
Just got my 2022 K5 and I'm loving it. As someone who just came off of a bad divorce from my Ford Focus. This is like having a BMW lol. I went with the EX mainly because here. I have had some bad experience with dual clutch Transmissions. My focus only had 14,000 miles and crapped out. I don't like the idea of not being able to service the transmission when it needs it. However the GT has a dual-clutch wet transmission. Ford Focus was a dry and that might be part of the problem. Still you can't go wrong with the K-5 here. So far so good & I just have to remember to keep my mileage down lol.
Congratulations to you man. Unfortunately, i cant tell you anything about ford cause im not into them like that. The fact that you compared a k5 to a BMW speaks volumes tho! Glad you like it!
Oh yes the hydraulic hood struts are awesome compared to a metal prop rod! I just got my first car with hydraulic hood struts too! Yes those lights do look like the pulse of a heartbeat !
@@bigdavedayday1581 I mean I don’t disagree with you at all. All of my cars have had prop rods and this new Volkswagen Tiguan has hood struts. I had no problem with prop rods of course. It just feels like a sign of a higher level of luxury with the hood struts but you are correct, fancier things with more moving parts wear out faster. I lease my cars so they are always under warranty so it doesn’t bother me. But you are correct for sure. I usually go for more simple and basic. Which is why I bought a Volkswagen versus a luxury brand but it’s getting harder to escape these hood struts unless I stick with certain makes & models.
Dude, just replace all the Kia badges with four rings and you're good!! You don't want a Kia man! They use cheap parts. They always have! They just don't have the money to purchase good quality parts .
Every time I pass one,that “Wolf Gray” color at that with my 2020 Hyundai Sonata Limited 1.6T, just brings a smile to my face 😎Welcome to the family🙏🏾😈

When on cruise control you control your distance between cars so the stop & go system to activate
Steeling wheel button
I want this car 😪
Work hard & get anything you want!
Thanks for mentioning the prop for the hood. You’re the only reviewer that did. Your review helped me a lot.
Thank you! Anytime
Dope video.. i just got a 2020 forte gt line…my first financed vehicle. I think i too will start vlogging hmm
I like the k5 I just wish it had the same tech as it's brother the sonata.
Yeah ive seen some differences but i can do without lol
@@JamesBeBoredI'm debating between the two rn idk if I want the K5 gt or the sonata NLine
Congrats. Very nice car!!! take care of it.
Thank you!
very nice car , i love it
Can It somewhat drive itself?
Huh

I just got me a 2022 White with Red Leather! I absolutely love the entire vehicle!
Ayee congrats!
Waitttt they offer the red leather on other colors other than wolf grey for 2022?!?!?
Great vid man
Thanks!
🔥🔥 this makes me want to get it 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Go for it! You wouldnt regret it💯
Rims are 18 inch
Is the 2022 model exactly same as this one except for the kia logo?
Yes, as far as i know. The badge is different.

Should I get the Kia K5 GT Line or the Kia Forte GT Line? Help me choose because I’m loving both!!!
Kia k5 gt line! Or the k5 gt! If its available
The botton with the 3 block on it is your adaptive course controller. U can set the following distance between your car and the car in front.
great vid bro! thanks for sharing!
No thank you!
@@JamesBeBored so hows your driving experience bro?
@@TheVertigoheadspin really good, no complaints lol

You have to have the door close to use the wireless charger,I got the same car the 2022
Thanks
Looks 🔥

That color raw I saw a black one tinted looked nice but I like this one way better
Thank you, i really appreciate that!
@@JamesBeBored I don’t know what state you’re in but I recommend tinting the whole windshield

It does. I have the 2021 LXS
@@hobysmith5686 I just bought the gt line with wolf grey & red interior. I love it 😍😍
Does it have ambient lighting in the interior
Nah, but that wouldve been nice to have
The button let's you set the distance your adaptive cruise control will keep the car from the person in front of you
Thanks
I love the new K5. I want the GT model with 290hp and 10.25 infotainment screen in Blue. The only thing the big screen loses the wireless Apple Carplay/Android Auto feature. But it has built in navigation. The Korean market K5 gets all the features that the America market don't offer. Like rotary shift dial, ambient lighting, heated rear seats, and full digital gauge with blindspot camera built in the dash. Pretty much like the new Sonata has, which Hyundai and Kia are sister companies.
Yeah that Gt model not nothing to play with lol. & everything you just said is great! & yeah America need to catch up lol, but on the other hand, Kia doing their thing frfr.
Is the back hot/cold without vents?
Most definitely. The front vents spreads out the air through the car quickly
What % tint
I just bought a new forte gt. It is an amazing car. Maybe in a couple years I can step up to a k5. Kia is doing an awesome job.
Ayeee congratulations. That car is spectacular & exactly, Kia has come a long way!

It is.
Dang , your review got me wanting to go get this car today !
Thank you! & you should definitely go for it!
Is this a 1.4 liter or 2.5 L.. ? And how is the power on it...does it take off alright?
1.6 Liter & its pretty ok to say it only produces 180 hp. 0-60 is pretty good. I have something coming tho that’ll make it surpass its limits. Stay tuned!
Wireless charger won’t work with the doors open. And if the doors are all closed then it’s most likely the case.

Thank you. & congratulations! You got the real deal package i see lol. Thats wassup. Im sure you’ll enjoy it
I’m suspecting the exhaust just points down from behind all of the rear fascia and those aesthetic non-functional faux outlets.
Yessir you are correct
U can also start it with just locking it once
Imma have to test it out
The sunroof is nice. The auto hold feature would be an accident waiting to happen for me.
Thank you. & oh lord Britt😂
K5 Gt bumps up that hp to 290. I feel it when I hit that highway, and leave the crowd!
Don't use the auto hold at the drive thru car wash!
Do yourself a favor and get the 3m clear bra for the front bumper, hood and side mirrors. It will keep that low front looking crisp.
Wooow car I liked kia k5 2022
Nice. I want the same car with 2.5T - 290HP AWD, new logo if KIA offers
Take the case off your phone to get it to charge.
Lol the case is compatible with wireless charging, it just was acting crazy
I build the car door at kia plant and i 💘 see dat color door on line
The wireless charger only works when the car is running.
Also my Kia salesperson told me the doors have to be closed too.
Isnt this the the same engine as the cerato or forte gt 1.6 turbo. Its should be around 200hp not 180hp.
The LX is a lot cheaper than the GT correct?
Lx, lxs is definitely cheaper. You can get the lxs with the package of what the gt gives like the panoremic roof but not the fog lights or the aggressive styling.
@@onetwo4147 I’ve seen a few base models k5, I’m guessing those lx, lxs.....it’s just not the same. The wheels/tire combo alone just makes it 👎

I wouldn’t use engine degreaser, especially on a brand new car. Good luck if you do 🍀 it could damage your electrical components.
Yeah i had changed my mind lol
Its nice but I'm surprised that my Sorento has more hp.
Your Sorento weighs more than his K5 so you shouldn't be surprised that it has more hp. Plus it has 195 pound feet of torque which is a lot.
One of the GT models has 300hp
