Great video! I currently drive a Jeep and it's the most unathletic vehicle in the world! I've been nervous going back down to a car but after test driving the K5 I fell in LOVE! This car is a no brainer for the value, options and price! Thank you for pointing out things I have not seen yet!
Yes, you get a lot of features for a good price. Another thing I recommended right after getting this car is to ceramic coat it, it will keep your car looking brand new, I bought the ceramic and did it myself for $150, I got a quote from a local detailer he wanted $1,250 😳, thanks for watching 👍
It's a great car for people who don't care about being a logo poser. Really amazing for what you get for the money.
@@ranndino logo poser?
Did you get a k5?
@@margel2307Not yet. Next month we plan on going back out and test driving our top 5. The K5 is in that list, but I may lean towards a Kia SUV. We are going to drive them all and make a pro's/con's list.
I have the 2023 Ebony Black K5 with chestnut brown interior in the GT trim with the GT1 package. It’s QUICK, and drives like a sports car. I’m absolutely loving it, and when I’m not gunning it I’m getting 34mpg on freeway commutes… incredible value
Yeah, this is a really good car.
Did your dealer have a “dealership market adjustment”. I just bought one and paid over MSRP.
@@ulianmendez4568 I got mine fro msrp + the dealership “protection package” which is a clearbra and door protective film, and a windshield/rock chip plan. They put it on all their cars standard and say it’s a $1800 value. Which is fine I guess because I’m already exercising the rock chip warranty because I got hit with some debris from a dump truck unfortunately 😭
How much was it?
@@duragaang8525 $37,350 sticker price plus the $1800 added protection package
I have a 2013 Kia Optima I’ve loved her the moment I laid eyes on her…she has been VERY reliable. I think the K5 is gorgeous too. Glad you love your car! Enjoy!! ☺️
Couldn't agree more!, thanks for watching.
I just purchased the K5 EX on June 14 in Everlasting Silver and she is stunning. Hands down the most beautiful car on the road. The K5 is a certified “Bad Bitch.” No Camry, Range Rover, nothing can touch her exterior beauty. Kia better recognize a winner when they have one and never change the design. 🚗
I totally agree with you 🫡
Most beautiful car on the road?
Lol.
Just bought this same car. Thanks for both videos. They convinced me. Kia should just have this on their site.
Glad I could help!
I just bought a 2023 GTLine 1/29/23 and so far I love it. I have the White color with the same red interior. Ive tried the lane assist but I don’t like it. It swerves too far to the left and right for me. I took it on the interstate today to see how it rides on long distances and how fast I could get it up too comfortably. I was at 88 before I slowed it down. I also never thought I’d be driving a Kia but my other car is in the shop and I rented one and fell in love with it.
Have you tried the steering assist? The lane assist keeps you inside of the lane but you have to steer the car, however, the steering assist steers for you, my car does a good job keeping the car in the middle of the lane
@@NumberDZ I’ll try that combination next time and see how it goes
yeah definitely use the lane and steering assist, paired with the adaptive cruise control it pretty much drives itself
You made detailed descriptions of the vehicle that was very helpful. Some of the features you mentioned, most UA-camr's never mention at all. Much appreciated. Keep making these type videos of other cars if you can.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
One thing I love about mine is the different diving modes you can switch it to. Sport mode is so fun!
Congrat's on your new Car!!! God Bless you brother 😀
Thank you 🙏
I have a 2021 Kia K5 GT Line with the premium package and every option including AWD. I feel mine is a little extra special because 2021 K5s are the only model year that still had the older Kia logo which I actually prefer over the new "nine inch nails" logo which I do not like but having the older logo makes this model year of K5s unique! :-) Mine is the same as shown in this video, wolf grey and with the lovely red stitched seats. My first order of business was to tint the windows dark to make the look complete and it's gorgeous. I get compliments about it constantly from people.
This is a great car, tinted windows is definitely a must have. I'm tempted to also tint the windshield lol.
Owned a 21 k5 gt line for 2 years now and still a blast to drive
Yeah, this is a good car, I’ve owned it for a year now and I haven’t had any issues.
@NumberDZ thx for video and this feedback. Never thought I'd consider a kia but may now. I notice the largest # of low milage 1 year old cars on sites like carmax are this G5 model tho. Why is that does anyone know cause makes me a little nervous. Thx
I have the same car in Sapphire blue!!! I love it
Love ❤️ that sapphire blue 💙 😍
@lisamccray9079 yes me too!!!
Sapphire blue looks amazing, they are not that popular in my area, I saw one about 4 months ago and have not seen another.
Thank you!! This is very well made video. Short, sweet and to the point. Great filming and cool features I probably never would have known. Took me a long time to find an informative video that actually is helpful. Good job brother!!😃
Glad you enjoyed it! 🫡
Excellent video! Thanks for taking the time to make this.
My pleasure!
I bought my 2022 k5 Gt line in 2021 and so far excellent with no issues. Drives well with more than enough power for me. I like the fact that this car is underrated so there are more accords than the K5. Kia finance offered 0% APR so my payments go directly towards the car and price I paid which was $29,000 total out the door.
You got a very good deal, I’ve heard some dealers charge 4 - 5 thousand mark up which is crazy.
Yes I bought mine before dealers started charging more. Kia financing was better than Honda and Toyota where average lowest rate was around 3 to 4% APR. I still had to haggle a bit because dealers usually want to charge extra for options you didn’t want. Overall very happy with my car and pricing which is best in the market compared to competitors.
Where did you get 0% nowadays?
@@kevfern they were offering 0% back in June 2021 which is when I bought the car for the 2022 model
That’s amazing. I’m interested in purchasing a K5. My max otd budget is 28k. When you purchased your car it was brand new?! If so, that’s bananas. I would kill for the same deal. I’d love to chat more…
Really good and informative review! Thank you
You’re welcome, thanks for watching
absolutely love my k5, it was my best purchase ever. wish i had the newer logo and red interior though. great video!!
I agree with you, this is a very good car I really like it. Thanks for watching.
What year model do you have
Just got the windows tinted on my forte lol
I’m sure it looks good 👌
Well, I will most certainly be turning OFF leading vehicle departure assist and never turning it on again when I get my K5 😂
Why? lol.
I have the exact car trim year and color as you. This video was spot on I absolutely love this car!!!
Glad you like it!, check out my other video of the things I don’t like.
Just got mine yesterday 😁..love it
Nice! what color is it?
For around 30K, a car that drives itself? This thing is a steal. For a few thousand more you can get all that plus 180 more HP. All for under 40K.
press lock button 2 times and flip your key over and hold the hold button. it will automatically start your car!
I’m currently waiting on my wolf gray red interior coming in..
Nice 👌 you will love this car, I’ve owned it for two years now and I have zero regrets.
I still get compliments here and there even though K5s are very popular and you see them everywhere (at least in my city).
I have the ‘23 GT-Line and the “it drives itself” is not true for mine. While the stop-and-go cruise control works great, the lane keeping/steering intervention is not usable. With perfectly defined lane lines it wanders way to much to the left and right before making steering corrections. I have yet to find any road or condition where the lane keeping is good enough to ever activate it. I never intended to use it (I prefer to drive my car when I’m driving my car), but so many reviews touting how great the lane assist is makes me wonder what parameters are at play that make mine too sloppy to activate.
Your system may need adjustments or something, I haven’t had any problems with mine, it keeps the car right in the center of the lane, I use it every day specially while driving in heavy traffic, make sure to clean the sensor of the front bumper and windshield, the steering assist won’t work properly if those sensors are dirty.
@@NumberDZ Thanks - the sensors/sensor programming makes sense with so many people saying it works great for them. With everything currently covered by snow in our region for the near future I’ll wait until the lane lines are back again and see if it can be improved. On a side note, there are also so many potholes now on my commute (just in the last month) right where my right side tires would be if the car were centered I end up having to straddle them and wouldn’t be able to take advantage of it if it was working well. If they fix the roads it would be nice to be able to activate the feature at times tho.
@@NumberDZdo you have awd
Beautiful masterpiece!
Thank you very much!
I have the kia forte gt line and it has get up and go
how'd you make the lights on the car stay orange @34 seconds?
Turn the car on, put it in gear then put it in park, and don't use the electronic break. That makes them say on.
Nice one ♥️
Thanks 🔥
Safety backup feature and break for you man I was thinking toyota or Honda but this Kia is making me think differently
I was thinking on getting a civic but after I did my research on this kia I went for it, this has way more features and technology compared to Honda, I’ve owned it for over a year now and I love it.
my dad has a kia stinger but the thing i notice us why did u not cover the plate.. also the stinger and k5 has the same futures of the k5 check the kia stinger out
It would be very helpful to know which year this review is about. I'm guessing 2022, but it's not clear.
This is a 2022
cool design ❤
Yes, I get compliments very often.
How about engine and transmission these things are the most important
So far I haven’t had any problems, the motor is strong and fast, transmission is working great as well.
Owned a 2017 optima, then a 2020, both bought with two miles. By 5k miles the engine oil burns. Paint jobs suck, and they DO NOT LAST LONG. Unfortunately all you get out of the k5 is cheap luxury. They took so much more out that counts
great video
Thank you
This was a great video! Can you tell us what you think about the sound
Are you referring to the audio sound? If so, it is acceptable if you don’t play music at max volume all the time, if you like to party in your car it may not be the best for you. Overall is a good entry level system though.
What’s name of application on your phone?
It's called "Kia Access"
Just bought this car and I love it!!! Only thing I dislike was the price hike at the dealership. Apparently “dealership market adjustment” is a thing now??? I Paid over MSRP but I still have no regrets.
Are they still charging markups? they started doing that during the chip shortage, I thought that was over, how much extra did you pay?
Are the speakers on the driver’s side door supposed to not work ? I’m only getting sound from the dash board
All of my speakers work, you may need to adjust the sound “position” in settings
What’s the app called ?
Kia Access
Yeah one feature I will definitely not use is Kia self driving feature 😭😭
I use it every day and I love it, once you get used to it you miss it every time you drive another car that doesn't have this feature.
HEY HOW MUCH U PAID FOR IT INCLUDING EVERYTHING
Where is the LED Interior Lighting? On the site, it says when you get the panoramic sunroof package, that LED interior lights comes with it. I can't find a video showing it, so I'm confused and curious.
The interior lights are LEDs, when you open the doors they turn on.
@@NumberDZ ohhhhh that makes sense. i thought it would be like ambient lighting like the A220 Mercedes’ Benz.
That would be nice but this car doesn't have ambient lighting.
@@thevanessakay You can easily add ambient lighting yourself. Kia offers more features in Europe and other countries that they don't offer in the U.S. Stock ambient lighting is one of them as well as the advanced digital dashboard which was not offered in U.S. models (but was in Canada.)
I just bought a 2022 wolf grey k5 I’m in love with it already but what app do I download??
I agree with you, this is an amazing car, the app is called "Kia Access" It is available for iPhone and android.
Be advised that now Kia is charging for the app and they have several levels of payment. You'll lose certain key features if you don't subscribe to their stupid service. In my opinion, when you buy a new car, you shouldn't have to pay extra every month to access features already present on the vehicle. This is my only downside with Kia.
I read in the owners manual you shouldn't tint the front window because of the sensor. Unfortunately its very annoying because its too much sun. Any suggestions?
You can but make sure not to tint the section in front of the sensor, if you pay close attention the sensor is surrounded by plastic, (it's in like a plastic box), as long as you don't go inside of that section you should be good.
@@NumberDZ did you do that to your car
No, my front windshield is not tinted.
How is the AC in the K5. Does it blow cold or semi cold like some other vehicles?
Cold air, if it’s 100+ outside it takes a little bit to cool down the cabin but it does a very good job cooling down. Zero complaints so far.
I love my K5 Gtline
I love mine too
I only want this car in this color 😂
Are you planning on buying it?
Launch this in India
I hope they make it available there.
Is there a way to keep the taillights on during the daytime?
Yes, you just have to turn them on manually.
I want to purchase a Kia K5 so bad but I am scared of it getting stolen..
You won’t have any problems go for it!
기아 굿~^^ Kia 👍
👌😎
I bought a 2023 AWD g-line wolf grey I could have got a GT but I was in hurry . But love my GT line
The GT line is a very good option, I’ve owned it for almost two years and I love it.
@@NumberDZ thank you bro. Is your AWD also?
No, mine is front wheel drive, I don’t need the AWD where I live, so far I haven’t had any issues.
@@NumberDZ cool I didn't need AWD either in NorCal unless I go to Tahoe. I needed a car right away because my car got totaled . I live my car
I'm thinking about getting this car ty for the video it's between this and the new altima
I recommend this over the altima.
@@NumberDZ I got this same color you have its nice
Nice! How do you like it so far?
@@NumberDZ so far so good I like it I bought rims for it I got tint
Nice 👍 I recommend you to do the ceramic coating, it will keep the paint looking nice and clean.
Why would anyone ever let the car drive itself? Talk about just asking for something terrible to happen
This is just the beginning of the new technology.
Thats hard
😎
Hey, Is it kia k5 gt line awd or GT
Gt line front wheel drive.
@@NumberDZ not true my gtline is AWD
@@natedog2966 They have both versions available AWD and FWD I got the FWD
@@NumberDZ ok
So how much is this car? im looking to buy same color and everything
❤❤❤❤❤❤
😊👍
Mostly K5 would be acceptable if the base engine would be 2.0L or 2.0L Turbo, than followed by 2.4L and some V6.
Let the eco-people drive lawnmower engine cars in Europe (Those engine lasts for 60k miles). This is America, not Europe....
I am myself drive Kia Soul 2.0L
Peter Schreier does great design and cars are designed in Europe Austria with German technology...
The fake exhaust in the back is so corny
Yeah, but I’ve got used to it.
The GT comes with double twin, true exhausts… if it bothers you too much. But the GT-line looks great too in my opinion
i laugh everytime i see em, i got the true twin exhausts. had it since june 13,000km
I got 43mpg driving on the interstate. In city limits I normally get between 32-36mpg.
That's very good MPG.
@@NumberDZ Thanks. I rarely use the gas pedal. I have a heavy foot. 95% of the time I have it on cruise control even when im going like 27miles per hour. I think that's what makes it so efficient. I was wondering if you could test something out. How many miles does a k5 have left when your estimated miles left to empty hits 0? I'm too scared. But I let it get down to 9 miles left. But when I got gas it only filled up to 14gallons. And I know our tanks are suppose to hold 15.8 gallons right?
MY TRUNK DOESN'T AUTOMATICLY open when the key is in the back of the car. How do I fix it?
You need to activate the "smart trunk" function in the settings.
@@NumberDZ Yea I did it today. Thanks
Thank you for making this video. I just bought the 2024 k5 gt-line awd.
Good choice! Thanks for watching.
Got the 2022 in 2021, great car! Glad I watched the video no idea about all of the tips and tricks this car has. I was drawn to it because of the logo and red seats.
I also have the 2022 and I love it, I still receive many compliments even tho this car has become very popular and there are tons of them on the streets. What exterior color did you get?
@@NumberDZ me too. Red
What tint do you have on the front and back windshields?
5% on the 3 rear windows, 20% front, and nothing on the windshield.
I noticed we live in the same city by watching your videos. I will not disclose for privacy, but I bought a 23 K5 this week and need tint. Where did you go? Looks great
Send me an email, I can send you the location and contact info of the place.
What is the mobile app called
Kia access
I recently traded a 2020 Frontier Crew Cab SV 4X4 for s 2021 Mazda Mazda6 Signature. 2021 is the last year of the Mazda6 and Signature is the top trim level. I was looking at new K5's, Benz A220, and Acura Integra. I DID NOT want a Honda, Toyota or Nissan!! And NO suv's!! I was at the Kia dealership and they had the Mazda6 on their used lot. It had 22k miles and the Nappa leather still smelled new. I drove it and was in love. All the safety features, sheer luxury interior, mesmerizing styling, full LED lighting everywhere(!!), turbo w/ tuned exhaust, and heads up display. How did I ever live without heads up display. Im spoiled now.
Nice!, heads up display is a cool feature, I wish it was included in the k5.
