I just got mine a few days ago and absolutely loving this thing! 2024 White K5 GT w/ GT1 package. My first ever brand new car!!
Congratulations! Great choice
That's awesome to hear. Congrats!
That's amazing. Let us know your thoughts, the good the bad etc...
We got the same exact car, same color! My first brand new car as well lol what have you been using to clean your black rims? It might just be me but it's kind of stressful owning a brand new car lol I am so worried about everything lol like if anyone rides in my car, I basically give them a briefing before hand (stomp out your feet before you step in, no eating in the car, be cognizant of your actions inside the vehicle) lol then every time I wash the car I inspect every inch of it pretty much lol and unfortunately a small rock must have hit my bumper because I have a little black spot where paint is missing about the size of a rice grain lol now every time I wash my car and see a black spot I stress, but thankfully they always just rub out, it was just a bug or dirt or something lol writing this out makes me feel ridiculously anal haha
after a month how’s the car?
This car is NOT made to do full pedal launces from a complete stop, you'll be changing your front tires every 6 months. It's made for those who know how to use just enough gas pedal pressure for a smooth start off the line. As well, it's a highway cruiser, not a stop light racer.
Not too into cars but I've had my eye on the K5 for awhile now. So sharp and the details inside are amazing. I drive around an hour to work (ONE WAY) everyday. Is this a pretty reliable car for highway?
@@vazzysI’ve heard the tired roll off when driving on the highway after a couple thousand miles
I freakin love this car. The first car I ever really like was the kia optima in 2013 (in terms of realistically achievable vehicles at the time). My manager had one with black rims, blue-white headlights, and blacked out accents. I thought it was pretty sick, this seems to be the more modernized version of it. I like how it keeps the feel and design that I liked about the optima but in a fresh, sharp way
This thing is pretty sweet for sure
That’s interesting. This car is the rebrand of a he optima. I didn’t know until recently and would have never made the connection but you have. This is what the optima had become same car new name.

Excellent review. I've been looking at the K5 and this is by far the most comprehensive review I've seen. Nice job!!
I’m glad you liked it!
I just got the 2024 K5 GT-Line with AWD today! Wolf Grey with the red interior and panoramic sunroof packages. It’s not the GT, but having the option of AWD was nice. I’m in love with this car already! I had the 2021 Kia Soul Turbo, but it was at the dealership awaiting service when a hail storm hit and it was declared a total loss. I loved that car, but happy with this new purchase!
Congratulations! AWD is def nice - this definitely needs AWD
Excellent. I think they should all have AWD. That being said congratulations on your new very cool car.
Hello I have a question, with the awd model, are you still able to get the gt1 package??
@@sgt.m4hd147the GT1 package on comes with the “GT Model”.
AWD is overrated. just get a good set of tires. It's not even real AWD anyways.
Excellent review of a pretty cool car. Thanks for sharing.
Bought a 2024 GT in August and it is a very nice sports sedan.
Started looking into these after my fiancé bought a 23’ Sorento. Kia has really stepped their game up in recent years, they’re badass now
Yes they are!
Absolutely and I don't even own one 😅
I just think they make cool looking and practical vehicles at a reasonable price.
Cool vehicles if they are not part of KIAs massive recalls.🤷🏼♂️
You're right, they should have went with the higher horsepower with the all-wheel drive. That's one of the reasons why I just got the GT line is because of the all-wheel drive
Not too into cars but I've had my eye on the K5 for awhile now. So sharp and the details inside are amazing. I drive around an hour to work (ONE WAY) everyday. Is this a pretty reliable car for highway?
Yes, very smooth drive and comfortable good on gas I keep it in smart mode gas purposes other than that it's amazing
If the key fob battery dies and you can’t open the drivers door there is a hidden latch under the handle on the drivers side door. The cover comes off exposing the key hole. Use the key in the fob to open the door. I don’t know if it works on all Kia models but it works on my 22 k5. When you get in the car touch the silver part of the fob to the start button and the engine should start.
A great car. I love it. The only issue I have because I’m tall is getting in and out even though the doors open ultra wide. The touch screen is easy to use. There are some modes I have yet to discover. When backing up the rear view camera has several options. It will automatically switch to normal (maps, etc)when you go 6 mph forward. I don’t have any idea why unless it is a safety feature. Great tutorials on the iPad. Fun to drive, small turn radius and very sporty in the sports setting. I would highly recommend the car
i love it and i want the same one you showing with all the bells and whistles
I got mine a month ago, black GT K5 2024 with GT1 package...love it.

Great review, earned my sub 👍🏻
Thank you x2!
I got mine few days ago I love it 2024 Kia k5
Bought the 2024 Kia K5 GT Black w/ Chesnut interior. Just tinted the windows, love it.
Sounds like a sweet spec - congratulations!
How is it so far, abt to get the Same.
I love it. And everyone who gets in it loves it too. So far 4k miles on it.@@facegamer1052
Just an awesome and beautiful car. I love it and this is my next car. You explained the contents very well and awesome information. So many functions love love love thank you.😊❤🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!:)
I love my K5. Had mines since June 2023. 24 K5 GT/GT1 Wolf grey. 🐺😊
Doesn’t that car have traction control? If so, how do the tires spin on takeoff?
Mine, not mines.
Great explanation
I’m 11:30 into the video and so far something you haven’t mentioned about the GT1 package is the upgraded Bose stereo system
Keep watching, it’s there
Love my GT. I have mine in passion blue. But yes, 8 would of loved to have it in all wheel drive!
I will say that it sucks when the wheels lock. The few times that a superior car had deemed my GT worthy of a challenge I had the wheels lock almost instantly and I have to back down with my tail between my legs

Waiting on the 2025 Gt can't wait
I switched to a Sonata N Line. I like the "refreshed" look and the interior & Tech is much better...
is it still fun to drive hard from stoplights if you're trying to push its limits while not hard enough to wheelslip?
Now my perfect new Kia K5 sedan I can buy.
You'll never buy anything. Same damn comment on every video!!
lol
Some continentals dw 06 plus on or ps4s will help greatly with the grip on 28:23. It's helped mine out alot.
Good point. I had pirellis on my Camaro and it was always a spin fest. I put Continental Extreme Contact’s on it and now it has allll the grip
@@703Speed I bet. Plenty of cars get their wheel spin solved with some grippier tires. This k5 isn’t even pushing with what some sports cars do.
Shame that those cars aren't available in Europe. Great car for that money. Great review as always. Greetings
Yes They are! Thank you !
It genuinely looks good from its side profile.
It missed by not having adaptive cruise control and automatic windshield wipers.
I’m annoyed it’s not Awd. I love my Mazda 3 and it has all of the above. Only 256 HP and 320 torque, but it can do 0-60 in 5.6 seconds, cheaper, more reliable, AWD.
How does it ride - comfort wise?
I would love to see a Elantra N 2024 when u get access it would be a great comparison🔥
Let me see what I can do
Also a Camry TRD is a great comparison too
I have a 2024 K5 GT with the GT1 package in Wolf Gray with a black interior on order…
Do these models come with the Blind Spot View Monitoring?
Looks great but I did think the hood line/gap to the A pillar looked odd.
Yeah the hood gap should’ve matched to the other gap on the a piller
Do they have the all-season floor mats? I don't like carpet. Oh, could you just replace that light with a LED light for the visor mirror?
I have a 2023 and was able to get the factory all-season mats through amazon
I test drove this car this past weekend. It’s very nice. I want to lease it!
I wonder how much the lease payments would be?
Leasing is ok as long as you don't drive alot. If you go over , they will nail you for the excess mileage.
I'd want the all wheel drive. My forte GT line has front wheel drive. I'm ok with that. Now, does the hatchback open automatically with the fob in your pocket?
Yes, if the car is locked and you walk up to the back of the car with the key fob, it will beep 3 times before popping the trunk open. My experience with my GT has been that the weatherstripping has been a little sticky and prevented the trunk from popping open on occasion.
Just got mine love it🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
Congratulations !
whats the ride quality like? is it pretty quiet? 19 inch wheels and closer to ground than an SUV make me a little nervous
i have seltos right now and its 19 inch wheels and i hate it. it bounces HARD over every bump
You won’t get a BENTLY ride. If you are looking for quiet and smooth you may want to check out a Cadillac or Audi 8 or B.M.W. 7 series. or Mercedes 550. or a Rolls Royce. Otherwise go to a dealership for a test drive. Put the transmission in the "sport" mode and have a blast. p.s. Yugos have been discontinued as have Edsels.
Love this car is so powerful.
Yesss
I don’t know if you’ve tried it or if you model offers it but if it does put it in sports mode and be prepared to be blown away
Hi, this review is extremely significant you gave us details about this Kia K5 GT car however this car is comfortable and looks sporty I freaking love this car I liked the grille did you notice grille looks like a tiger nose squeezed getting along the fog light headlight is also great black chrome ginormous moon roof which nice further trunk area would almost 21 cubic feet gloss black 19-inch wheels with machine face moreover nice stitching seats very comfortable all the features including of this Gt Lane keep assists blind spot monitoring driver assist collision one thing I like the most if you aren't attention cars front of you bleep the sound that is a nice feature 2.5 l turbo inline-four cylinders 290ho and 311 pound-feet of torque eight-speed dual-clutch transmission 0 to 60 5.2 seconds front wheel drive I would rather purchase this one than gt1 overall this vehicle upscale thanks.
Thank you for the comment - it kinda does look like a tiger nose haha
A fantastic description Mr. Lawrence (Last chapter Lady Chatterly’s Lover).
Nice looking car!
100k subs loading!
Haha - on the way!
Which trim for ventilated seats, all-wheel-drive turbo 2.5
Just drove a new GT off the lot and home today. Overall very satisfied, but I did want to point out a couple issues: You have to get the GT1 package to get a heated steering wheel and integrated garage door openers (via HomeLink). The basic GT has neither of these.
Also, most vehicles nowadays include the some form of adaptive cruise control. Again, only available thru the $4K+ GT1 package.
Finally, the exterior/interior color scheme options are very limited, both in terms of what's offered by KIA (some interior colors are only offered with particular exterior colors), and in terms of what KIA decided to build and deliver to dealers so far in this model year. In my case, I wanted the Glacial White Pearl and I'm pretty sure *all* of these exteriors have only been built so far with a black interior.
Having said all of that, I think it's a great car.
Nice write up. Perspective buyers will appreciate this..
nice dude hope it lasts more than a year without blowing up or getting broken in to
I have the basic GT and it came with the optional mirror with HomeLink.
Is there a heads up display HUD option?
Ya mon dreads up display
Did you leave anything out?! You probably could have skipped over a few things so my brain would not explode! . Very hyper-energetic review that only a young guy can do. What did you call those grab handles?! Overall, great job, thanks.
The fact that it's another year without wireless android or wireless apple carplay is frustrating
Bluetooth you'll be fine.
Have they made improvements with road and wind noise?
I didn't get to take it to 70, but maybe an owner can comment on this
Kia may offer AWD after the discontinuation of the Stinger. It didn’t make sense to offer it when they had a full fledged sports sedan with poor sales. It makes sense now that the K5 will be their only midsize sedan.
Do you know why they discontinued the stinger? Seemed pretty popular..
@@703Speed Kia says poor sales. Even though Kia has come a long way some buyers are uncomfortable with shelving out 50 to 60 grand on a Kia. In addition, SUVs are in and sedans and coupes are out. Nissan is letting go of their beloved Maxima, a popular nameplate since 1981. American automakers have dropped their sedans all together. Ford’s only car is the Mustang. So expect this trend to continue as SUVs grow more popular each year
Yup, I hate it. But Cadillac is still making sedans! @@ericbanks327
Rumor has it that the K5 will receive a hefty refresh next year. It should come with many upgrades since the Stinger is discontinued.
@@4522-SC most likely it will since it’s essentially a Hyundai Sonata and Hyundai has already released photos of the updated Sonata.
I like it but I don't see any head up display can I get it in and and ventilated seats?
No head up display, but you can get ventilated seats with the GT1 package
The Kia boys love them.
Lol
They may love breaking the windows out, but they aren't able to steal them with the imobilizer on these.
@@TW1STedDiLLiGaF tell that to your insurance company
I travel the Southeast for work, and I have lost count of the number of KIA cars, I have seen broken down on the side of the expressway.
You know that’s not true. Take some pictures and post them for us. Ridiculous statement. Are you Mazda rep?
You must be jealous because you bought a Yugo.
Nice car
Is it possible to get the k5 with a head up display and awd? And how much would I have to pay for it?
Not the GT, no
Check with a dealership
@@stanmans thanks for nothing.
👍🏻👍🏻I think you get a lot of car for 33k. The cost of a loaded Civic. Once you add another 4000+ I think there are better choices. If I'm going to mix luxury value and power. I would look at a Camry XLE.
Agreed. And good point, but this definitely feels quicker than even the Camry TRD
I got my 2024 KIA K5 GT a couple days ago and I love it. I got the storm trooper white and immediately got the windows tinted. I’ve only put it into sports plus mode once and ripped it and I was shocked by how quick this thing is…my brother has a 2020 Civic SI and I absolutely smoked him in normal mode.
@@SFCBEITZ Exactly my thoughts when I first ripped this. Wayyy quicker than I expected it to be lol
@@SFCBEITZ sounds like fun.
@@703SpeedIt is quicker than the TRD but not by much. I've tested many times with my friend and they are almost tied with the GT pulling ahead over 60 mph.
Super nice KIA
Definitely
i wouldve liked to see the GT come in AWD but i guess they chose not to since people will most likely shy away from the stinger
True. But they are discontinuing the Stinger. Now I wonder if they’ll add AWD to this?
Only Sorento LED Cube Headlights missing in K5 - Sad
Did they fix the theft issue yet? Shouldn't be allowed to sell them if not.
The keyed ones are susceptible. Not the keyless
I was all set on buying this car until you said it doesn't have AWD. I currently have a BMW Z4 and want that 0-60 off the line to be smooth.
Yup - it needs AWD. But, in a roll race this thing would take some names
I thought it would have the digital dash like the seltos 😕 but the market is suv now
I could be the only one, but I actually like analog gauges
Shame on them 😊
Great video. Personally I wouldn't be interested in this trim just because without AWD it doesn't seem to put the power down well.
AWD would make this thing even better
I just picked up a GT Line AWD and it is great. The red seats are incredible. I wish I could have the power of the GT in the GT Line but overall the AWD is in my opinion the best model. With the GT dual clutch transmission it is love it or hate it. The DC is horrible in stop and go traffic in my opinion. The hesitation as the clutches engage is annoying.
@@mr.wilson8340 I think you made a wise choice, congrats 👏🎉
why do people think these cars have 4 wheel drive? you do realize what awd is right? all these cars coming with AWD are basically only activated when needed. Screeching off a starting line isn't going to activate AWD. If it has 4 wheel drive you actually put the car into then yes it would be worth it. all these car makers putting in pseudo 4wheel drive systems.
@@ezeess7239 good point. However, I only mentioned AWD, unless you were referring to someone else? Also, if the GT had AWD it would be class leading and an option to even the suedo luxury options.
I might just wait till the 2025 it has one long screen 🤔
Nice job kid :)
Thank you king David 👑👑
You have to start adding miles at a full tank
I'm think of buy a new 24' Kia K5 GT sedan.
You should
Get a Elantra N better bang for your buck
You won’t regret it.
KIA should put the twin turbo 368 hp Stinger engine in the K5 with AWD since they discontinued the Stinger. I would trade my Stinger in for it.
Most people are surprised at how much car you get for the money from Kia. I had two Optima SX Turbos and they were flawless and delightful. Now I drive a Stinger that is a joy every day of the week. Why the K-5 GT isn't AWD remains one of the great mysteries.
So I should trust my 2018 optima fe?
@@DavenHiskey Are you feeling lucky? The car is six years old.
@@stephenjablonsky1941 Sooo you spoke all happily about your own shi* but have sarcasm for me...typical
@@DavenHiskey I couldn't give you a rock solid answer. All I know is I had a 2016 Optima Turbo SX that was flawless. After leasing it for three years I traded it for a 2019 model which was equally flawless. I changed the oil every 5000 miles and never did any other service to either vehicle.
@@stephenjablonsky1941 Ok, fair nuff
The starting noise sounds like the intro to Needy by Ariana Grande lmao
Lolll
Wireless apple car play should be bare minimum
I loveee the k5 but i hate how they have the gt/gt line letters blended with the color of the seats. They shouldve made the gt letters red! To stand out. 🤦🏾♀️
Damn, that’s fax. Good idea
21 and 22 K5 GTs have it in red. Mines a 22 and has it which is much better.
i paid 33k for my 22 gt line awd new and now ur telling me i can get a gt for the same price now?
Yup
Wait do I understand this right?
It’s a 2024 model but you have to be plugged in for CarPlay?!
Yup
@@703Speed Is this the Stone Age?!
That instrument cluster is straight out of a 2010-2015 VW Passat, right down to the coolant a fuel gauges. Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery and all...
Maybe the VW copied Kia. Just sayin'
@stanmans Kia/Hyundai have been copying mainstream auto manufacturers for years. It is known within the industry, which I have been a part of for 25 years. Fact.
Why does sticker say 1.6L and your video says 2.5L? Am I missing something?
This starts as a “GT Line” but with the “GT” you get the bigger engine, dual clutch, etc
No locking glove compartment - what's up with that.
Just a heads up, the guy says you can put 93 octane in, and maybe it'll give you more power. That's not true. 93 octane takes longer to burn in high compression/high heat situations, and that's all. It gives racecar pistons the ability to compress at higher ratios without the increased heat from compression igniting the gas prematurely (before the sparkplug fires). Premature ignition damages the engine. This car is calibrated to fire 87 octane. If you put 93 in, the computer will eventually recognize that there's a problem, because the fuel isn't burning as quickly as expected, and it'll adjust the timing. 93 octane is associated with high horsepower, but doesn't create more hp. Does that make sense?
Also, don't rest your hand on the shifter while you drive. It can f up your trans over time.
No AWD or even a limited slip differential is why I took the K5 GT off my short list.
An LSD would be a game changer. AWD would be even better. With Kia getting rid of the stinger, they may put some time into making this thing even better..
It's a pretty car for older people. Not for racing.
Very well said!
I am older, and I think it is pretty!
If only it had eLSD
311 torque isn't much this day and age? Really? Isn't 311 torque the highest you can get in its class?
I love mine it’s so much fun to drive. I just wish it had wireless Apple car play and usb c ports 😔 but i love this car nonetheless
It needs wireless carplay!
What do you mean? I use my Apple phone wirelessly every day
Wireless Apple CarPlay or bluetooth audio?@@SFCBEITZ
@@703Speed Bluetooth, but that doesn’t limit me from anything does it?

KIA if very foolish for NOT having Limited Slip Differential in this car. Yes, they would have had to charge more for the car, but it wouldn't be a terrible increase, and it would have made the car so much for drivable and so much more pleasurable.
I think it would be worth it to raise the price a bit to get the LSD or AWD
awd or lsd

DUDE, I’m in love with this car, but I’m afraid of buying it because it’s a Kia… what should I do?
Lease it and if you have problems, turn it in at the end of the lease
Bought a new 2006 Optima drove a couple years then all the warning lights started blinking. It went thru 6 inches of NW snow easy. Peace bro.
At what mileage did all those lights come on? Kias seem to have one of the best warranty’s out there at the moment, which is great
It was about 80000.

My best friend leased one and shes about to return it. She has no intentions of buying it! Shes disappointed with the glitchy infotaiment and other things I dont remember. I rode on it and it was ok but not terrific….
Was it a GT or a GT Line?
Maybe you should try riding IN IT.
To start off was it a GT? Or a gt line? HUGE difference! And also the infotainment doesn't glitch 😂 I literally have owned mine for over 2 years and never had a problem
Apparently a kia/hyundai hater spitting bullsh*t without ever having ridden any of their cars. Get a life....and a good one 😂
Lowkey tried to make it look like the underrated maxima exterior.
I dont like those black mirrors. Must have ordered from a parts supplier that ran out of white paint.
they should have made this 400 hp and then the price could be worth it. this is a damn KIA, so i might as well get something if i will buy a kia and that is a bargain horse power at least 400 hp
Love the k5 gt but for the price Elantra N is faster and better overall
I think I'll have to do a vid with one
Not in the looks dept, and the k5 is big enough for 4 people making a cross country trip would be comfortable in. People in the back seat in an Elantra would be miserable .
@@johnfranklin5277
Exactly! I needed the extra room and decided to get the K5.
@@johnfranklin5277Have you actually been inside the elantra N? Plenty of space in the back....
@@taemeister9302 I bought a new 2017 Elantra new. Its been a great car, just turned 100.000 miles and has required 0 repairs, and has 0 issues. But it is cramped for back seat passengers. I have rode back there and definitely would not want to be back there on a road trip. My 2021 kia K5 GT LINE is much more spacious, and I would be ok back there for a long road trip. I have kept the Elantra, its in like new condition, Southern California car, and I use it for my 80 mile round trips to work. The K5 is just much nicer and is a great freeway cruiser, and a real pleasure to drive.
Definitely a car full of options for the money. Love my car and did upgraded the tires, stock are worthless and spin very easily. Went to 255 continental extreme contact dws06, world of a deference. Better grip with less slip, not eliminated, but enough to give you confidence. Car is very fun to drive when opportunity and save to drive. Hit 140 no problem yet to hit 155 limiter, only drawback is a bit loose handling. Maybe some good sway bars and shock tower will help. Only complaint is the DCT, if never driven one, has some deferent drivetrain characteristics especially reverse and low speeds. Overall great car for the money and love the body style
The DCT is definitely different if you’ve never driven one before, but it’s a great trans. I have extreme contact sports on my Camaro - They’re the best tires I’ve had on the car
They do have a new tire out but not mass produced yet, select vehicle can order them right now but mainly for the high performance ones.
I will take synthetic leather over real leather all day long especially if you buy a German car. My Neighbor has a 2015 Dodge Journey with cloth/synthetic leather with 175,000 miles on the odometer and the interior looks like new. Their leather (German) seems to crack and show wear early on. What is the purpose of Dual Clutch transmissions? The one in my friend's former Audi was sloppy, jumpy, and ill-shifting.
Good point. Can't really tell the difference between them anyway
For 33k I must have 4wheel drive
At the price point, I think it’s fair that’s it’s FWD, but I would pay $1,500-2,000 for AWD as an option
Too bad this isnt wireless apple car play and Android Auto really sucks. But what is worse is they didn't use usb-c connections and instead went with thise old USB-A which is being phased out.
