Kia website says spring 2024
Now, this is how you design a car....HONDA ACCORD!!
I don’t like the accord but this to me is over designed. It’s too much going on. Maybe younger ppl will dig it.
a 2020 honda civic type R would send you to a hospital@@JorgeRiverosTales
What did you say, sunny old boy 🧓
@supremecarnage5071 Exactly what the Honda Accord drivers are saying since the car turned them into geriatrics! 😂😂
@JorgeRiverosTales Kia has to stand out to get people buying sedans again. I've shown my Gen Z cousin the picture of the new K5 and Accord. Guess which one he likes the most? The K5! Young people are the future. They know what's hot and what's not! But I can see some older drivers be a little intimidated by the radical design because it's nothing they are a custom to. Those 90s and 00s sedan styles are long gone now. We are in the "Digital Computer Age" era.
For sedans this is top class I love the look so much
Sonata better
This design is bold, elegant and distinctive. Well done Kia!
Well since honda and toyota got rid of their good engines for garbage with no hp this is definitely the better option
Love your video
It’s very nice! I like it
Great video as usual guys! 👍
Thanks!
Luckily not in our area…
I definitely like it better than the Camry!!! Very bold styling stands out from the crowd 👍👍
Wow this looks so beautiful. Wouldn’t mind getting one of these
Fantastic video!😸
Have a great weekend!
This is exactly like the one that I’m getting. Thanks for the review. By the way they said that it would be available later this spring. I’m pretty sure that’s a car cover in the trunk and I think a 360 camera is available on the GT…
This is awesome design by Kia. Great job
I can't wait to see actual driving impression when you guys get more hands on with this car.
Great looking car
Looks sooo good.
it looks beefy-er and i LOVE it! subtle changes but omg sooooo good 😍🔥
Loving the rims! If only I can order the those extract ones.
Exterior looking fabulous wow😊 stylish.... Can't wait to see the 2025 Hyundai sonata N Line
Problem is that dealerships are marking these Kias up and making the value less than it should be.
Order it from website
@@Xo-xz6viThat's what I Plan on doing, if possible.
My dealership just charges MSRP…
The kia forte is being redesigned in 25. As a K4.
My God that’s a beautiful car
I was already planning to buy a 2025 K5 GT but you fellas certainly made me feel that I made the right decision…
Wow nice car wish it got better MPG would of definitely gotten it for a daily driver
The best looking kia right now, i have a 2020 forte gt, i want to upgrade to this car
Do it!! I have a basic boring forte and I'm just not sure if to go Elantra N or K5 GT next. I really do like both. 😮
Have y'all did a 2024 Hyundai sonata limited?
Not the Limited but we have reviewed the SEL
Can you review the limited Hyundai sonata next?
I think the Limited only comes as a hybrid version for their 2024 model…
At the introduction of the K4 at the New York international Auto Show they said that the K5 would be out by the end of May…
Turn that 2.5t 90 degrees and give us awd while you're at it (on the 2.5t, not just the naturally aspirated 2.5.)
Heads up display?
Looks awesome 👌 problem with lots of Hyundai products is they either copy too much or unique but over done that doesn't age well, meaning people are looking for next polarized design which will hit or miss. Reasons Honda, audi, Volvo stay more simple is long term
The GenZs are leaving those cars to collect dust at the dealership. It's the older conservative drivers are buying simplistic boring cars. I'm not trying to be rude, but it's the truth. If a car is not cool and flashy for TikTok, the younger consumers ain't gonna buy it.
Damn this is 🔥
Wish a hybrid power train was still an option.
Sonata will still have it for 2024 refresh.
Hybrids only available in other markets. We just don't get it here. But added the hybrid option in the Sonata for the US market.
Same
I have always liked the design and practicality of this car. I still don't get why they do not offer AWD on the GT model, but offer it on the other models with less power. If they could get that together, this car would probably be one of their best sellers.
It's cost! Something has to give and take. If it was a Genesis, then it would have AWD on their performance models. No mainstream mid-sized sedans have AWD on their performance models.
@@jraheemjefcoat429I have one on order and I wouldn’t want AWD on a sporty car like this…
@@user-nv8ze2zs6c😮 The K5 GT 2025?
@@user-nv8ze2zs6cWell, most car enthusiasts would agree that either RWD or AWD is best from a handling perspective
@@muny_man I agree. Both would give you better traction but I’m not going to drive it like a race car plus I don’t want the big hump that comes with AWD…
Can someone explain why they’re skipping AWD on the trim that needs it the most?
Usually, it is due to constraints on the vehicle platform
Sad that they don’t offer AWD on the top model. Makes no sense. I had a 2014 and 2015 Kia Optima SX-L with 290 hp and the front tires would spin relentlessly if you floored it, or if it was wet out. I now have a 2024 Audi RS5 Sportback, and the grip and power is amazing. AWD is a necessity up here in the Chicagoland area.
I just wanna know if its this or the stinger?
I personally like this slightly better, but if you want more power and more potential stinger is a way to go. They still rare and beautiful fast vehicles. Both are great tho
Which one should I go for? Kia k5 2025 gt, toyota camry 2025 xse or a used lexus es or is? Waiting for your response. 😶
It depends on what you value most. If you want the most luxury get a Lexus. If you want a dynamic driving experience the GT would be the best bet. And if you want great economy the Camry would be good
@@CarConfections thank you. I want something that has the touches of luxury and is reliable.
Lexus es and is won't even be more luxurious, they don't have big digital screen, they don't have big sunroof and es is slower and is literally same in power. Everything else is the same
They ordered my 2025 K5 GT yesterday. My birthday is June 9th so I hope that it comes by then. The price increased by $1,345 for the GT model. The MSRP is $39,970. The ETA is now June 25th…
How'd you order it??
@@k_dymond4038 My local dealership ordered it for me…
Umm, I don’t think you can order this car yet. Maybe you got a 2024?
@@muny_man You haven’t been able to order a 2024 for a good while now. It’s definitely a 2025…
@@user-nv8ze2zs6cwhere did you order it?
Not trying to rain on the parade but have Kia fixed the engine/turbo issues?
The hatchback version will be amazing
Don't believe this K5 will be getting one. That would be the new K4!
Sick of SUVS. Im loving the new Camrys, Sonatas, and this K5. More Sedans LETS GO!
Trust me you gonna need that warranty it comes with due to the history of Kia and Hyundai models with recalls involving engine fires.
Trust me, you have zero knowledge of this brand. Go touch grass.
If it has cameras on the mirrors it has the 360 camera. 😂
What a shame they aren't offering a liftback version now that the Stinger is gone (which is an even bigger shame!)
Why is it shame? They would have still been selling stinger hadn't been for people who talked down on the car saying it's kia it's not worth the price and went with something else. Go buy one, they still on sale
If it were a hatchback, I would be interested.
It's an okay refresh except for its somewhat fussier interior controls and fanged tail lights where it seems Kia designers were inspired by the idea of stuffing LED's into a Camry XSE fake rear brake vents.
Personally, the replacement of the torquey 1.6T with the NA 2.5L on the non GT trims (esp. the GT- line) is a bigger demerit but it appears H/K's now reserving that engine mostly for their hybrids.
WHY THE DAYLIGT IN YELLOW?Honest question from Spain
honestly, to catch the attention of people like you just did 😅
It's just a bold design element
@@wizels1403 hahahahha nice!
Nice. Hyundai Kia are the new Toyota Honda
Definitely not in reliability and depreciate faster.
It’s built into the trunk lid just like my Impala LTZ…
Toyota gave up on performance with the 2025 Camry, no more V6 or TRD 😢 and only offered as a Hybrid 🤔
The Honda Accord is still just a Honda Accord, nothing exciting or special to see there. The K5 is definitely the most exciting sport sedan in the segment. Now Kia just needs to offer all wheel drive on the GT Model and a bump in Horsepower would also be nice. Can’t wait to see what happens in 2026.
Don't like the design of Exhaust tips the round quad tips was better looking.by alot on the previous model.
In Korea, the gear looks different
The sonata is better i hope kia adds more to it
It's all same family, can't go wrong with either one. Still better than altima camry or accord
Better in what way? Just saying it's better and not adding any context/specifics is a pointless comment/opinion.
New Kia K5 GT or Sonata N Line…tough choice
That is the GT model with Projector style Led Headlights and not the basic reflector style headlights. the 21 and 23 model reflectors were Horrible
Doubtful this or its Hyundai equivalent the Sonata are better than the Camry or the Accord.
They are twice as fast as a new accord or Camry
@@cabbagehead8082 Also, the warranty is much better. 5 year bumper to bumper, 10 year powertrain. Other than Hyundai, no one else can match that.
That's because you are brain washed into thinking those brands are better I'm willing to bet you have an I phone too because you think they are better 😂
@@JamesThomas-dn6ee Wrong. Samsung 9.
@danielhartin7680 lol I was talking to the dude that said it was doubtful it's better then a Honda or Toyota I can tell you have taste from your comment
This car looks ok but you know your gurl only drives Bimmers, Benzs or Bentleys!!! But maybe my boo Shyam can get this so he keeps a low profile and doesn’t get pulled over for driving while dark!!!! Sorry not sorry po-po!!!!
The paint on my 2013 is coming off all over the clear coat looks terrible.
Looks amazing, but that gear handle is just disgusting
I said the same thing. Would have been nice if they used the same one from the stinger GT2. This one here looks cheap and unattractive.
Love everything but the rear. Took a step back. Loved the older rounded look vs this squared boring look. Also just wish had white drl and not Amber. Otherwise still a great car
agreed but the rear lights are starting to grow on me what messed them up is that extra small portion going downwards that was unnecessary and the amber lights are good but it would be nice to have the option to switch them to white also
not coming to Canada sadly
The GT needs some kind of lip spoiler!
Agreed , I’m gonna have to add one on myself ugh. Also does anyone know the shift ratio on this DCT as opposed to the Acura tlx DCT?
So sad we don't get it anymore in Canada.
I like a lot of things about this car but the gear shifter is super dated looking and out of place with the rest of the modern interior
The shifter is so clunky tho. The Korean spec comes with a rotary shifter. Much cleaner and nicer imo
No AWD on the top dog? Thats crazy 😂
Name any mid-sized mainstream sedan that has AWD on their performance trims.
@jraheemjefcoat429 right?! Then no one would buy luxury sedans. Why would they stop their Genesis sales?
@Xo-xz6vi It's greedy behavior. Everybody wants it all. But when they do add AWD on the GT models, the price will be close to a Genesis G70, and people will complain about being too expensive for a Kia. Either way it goes, people (especially Americans) will never be satisfied. Damn if you do, and damn if you don't!
No AWD on the performance model. Pass.
If price is similar to camry then you got to buy toyota, cant compare toyota to kia
I disagree Toyota is interior is too old
9 inch Display in 2024? lol 😂😂
@@user-uc7kk6sx7s I couldn't care less about all that kind of stuff. Engine and all the stuff that matters is what I care about. Toyota in different league to kia when comes to reliability
@@paulrussell6495that's such a 90s way of thinking. You really need to lay off the "Toyota is superior BS" let people enjoy their choice of cars man. Not everyone wants a damn Toyota and their boring design language.
Pointy Pointy Pointy 🫡
Never bought honda and Toyota and never will, yes reliable but boring, ugly cars never appealed to me. Apart from Civic type R and GR corolla they ain't got shit going for them. Always been huyndai/kia fan. So many cool fun enthusiasts like cars that have awesome design and best warranty and best price for features and power.
Kia is just known for there cool designs… but under that hood… is something that doesn’t last long term, and depreciates quicker then any other model out on the market for long term value.
They aren't even known for their good designs because people like you still think of kia and huyndai as unreliable cheap garbage brand which can't be further from false. They've been making better cars than honda toyota and Nissan for the past 5 years now, give you more engine options, more features and more power for the money. Apart from 1.6 engine the rest are quite reliable and can easily do 200k miles with good maintenance. Their 2.0 2.5 and 3.8 3.3 and 5.0 in genesis are reliable as well. It's not 2010 anymore buddy. Yall getting ripped off by Japanese who keeps playing safe and keep making yes reliable vehicles but boring ugly and not fun to drive at all, not to mention they got rid of V6 and made everything hybrid. New accord looks hideous so is new camry. Civic type R is all they got going for because even GR corolla ain't that fast
I'm glad I got the 24 GT!! I don't like the tail lights or new exhaust
What?!? They both look good. Y'all trippin'
@julienalexander6113 Personal taste I guess. The round exhaust is more noticeable
this looks better bro I've seen them side by side front looks better on the new and the interior is killing the old
Everything is subjective but the 2025 interior is far superior looking compared to the 2024’s…
The Honda Accord is an embarrassment compared to the new Kia.
Kia stay making ugly shifters
Refreshed but still a Kia.😂
🤡
Told myself i’d never own one, I now have 7kmiles in 3 months on a Kia forte gt line premium. Heated and ventilated 10 way power seats, A pretty good Harmon Kardin system with a subwoofer. Huge trunk, gets 43mpg about 500 miles a tank. It’s a great car to keep within the 10 year 100k mile warranty. But idk about past the warranty 😂.
What does that supposed to mean?
@@wetzel82 so low resale and a horrific safety rating mean nothing to you?
He/She does this on every Hyundai and Kia video. Must have a huge crush with the brands.
Uninspired reliability.... No stand out anything.
What does that even mean...?
Over with Kirk Kreifels on TH-cam, he is reporting Hondas reliability is in fact going down. Toyota too! So I'd say this vehicle is on par with the others. I would much rather buy this car than a Honda Civic, because even a fully loaded Civic is still in the high $30K.
@slicunit You can say that all you want. But people like him are so much in denial, like MAGA Trump supporters.
@@jraheemjefcoat429How does Trump get into this conversation? You must be one of the obsessed ones.
@gregorysullivan7913 Awe, is the little baby mad that I called their fierce leader out? 😂😂😂
The new Camry looks ass
