If you go for the EX that is nicer than some BMW's I've been in. If they have given that Trim in the GT-Line They would have sold like hotcakes.

@@RunEmDownTony I wish the k5 would get the summer tires like the sonata-N line. Motortrend and car and driver had the sonata down to 5.0-5.2 0-60 and a 13.6 1/4 mile. The k5 GT is a set of summer tires away from greatness.
@@doubled8247 yeah Hyundai decided to go with the summer tires, definitely more grip there but they wear faster than the all seasons that's on the K5 GT. And even with the summer tires on the K5 GT it still would lose to the accord from a dig at least in a 1/4mile. When you have front wheel drive with no LSD you have to have balanced the K5 GT and Sonata N has far too much power to the front wheels especially since it's boosted power. Again from a roll the K5 GT will win. With all that being said I still take the K5 GT love the accord but I guess seeing so many of them (and there is a good reason why) just kills it for me.
The real test is not the gadgets but the heart of the car which is the engine. The kia will be lucky to last 200,000 miles while the honda is easily over 500,000 miles.

Great review! I was expecting better performance from the Honda Accord 2.0T. It seems that needs better brakes cooling, better handling and less hesitation on its acceleration.
I have the exact K5 GT, it’s a great car on the highway and surface rds. It really gets up and goes in sport and sports +. I have Michelin tires on it now and it does great.
love the Chiseled look of the K5, an LSD would be a welcomed option. 134 feet stopping distance on 245 width tires from 60..interesting.. probably have to re-do that test on some newer brake pads or a different test car others are claiming 118 to 120 feet
The comparison review I wanted to see. If you need the Accord's 10spd to downshift to 2nd, why not just use the paddles? Oh yeah, did you even pick a winner? It kind of sounded like the Accord Sport, but wasn't very clear. I also thought the Accord Sport had a sport tuned suspension, compared to the non sport and Touring models anyway. The Accord Sport 2.0T is equipped with alot more than that base K5 GT. Probably why it is cheaper. To get a more equivalent equipped car, you have to purchase the K5 GT GT2 pkg. That makes the Accord Sport the cheaper car.
Well so does the k5. Lol, they got as low as 5.3 secs for the k5 GT. They are using the factory number. Plus the sonata n line got 5.0 secs 0-60 for the sonata n line.
Savage Geese (Mark) likes the regular K5 with AWD better as well. He said the same thing - more power doesn't necessarily make it better. The grip of the AWD does.
You didn’t mention in what mode you tested the Accord. In Sport mode, the transmission is more responsive when downshifting. Maybe that’s why you couldn’t downshift to 2nd when entering corners?
@@marktakahashi5024 Personally, I thought it helped convey the g-force on certain turns to the audience lol. You need to start billing Edmunds for your hair, it's business related....
Tuning for Accord sounds ideal... just need to brake deep into the apex (as if you're going to go over it) and get the weight shifted the right way for the downshift when you're coming out of the turn... using rear drive techniques for a front drive doesn't jive.
Why? Both are great cars. With your logic, Kia is a disposable brand because they replaced more engines than anyone and Honda is a disposable brand because they replaced more transmissions than anyone.
Kias are "disposable." Oh? Kias have gotten better over time. I had a 1997 Sephia and I took it to 110,502 miles by the time I traded it in. (After a break from Kia for a 2006 Chevy Cobalt from 2007 to 2019, I got myself a 2016 Kia Forte.) How did I do it? Routine maintenance, everybody. I kept up with the oil change schedule and had necessary fixes done before they turned into huge headaches. If you take care of your car, no matter what make it is, it will take care of you. The owner's manual is your Bible when it comes to car ownership. And, yes, Kia vehicles have gotten better. It's not 1997 anymore, guys. Kia is kickin' butt! (1/2/2022)
There's no denying the accord but I'd go with the K5 GT. Too me it's just more exciting and it looks better. I'm not gonna be going to the track with the car so I could care less about not being able to put power down out of the corners I won't be taking corner hard and the car also struggles taking off from a stand still due to traction issues but where it shines is merging and passing power. Great for highway pulls and that's where I drive the most. Honda just doesn't excite me anymore. I'm not even that excited about the TLX. I guess I been with Honda Acura for a while and before that I know what to expect and it's more of the same and that's a compliment. I've just out grown Honda and Acura it's time to venture off and see what other brands offer and the K5 GT is definitely a bull's-eye. Plus in a world filled with accord, camry altima you would definitely stand-out.
The Hyundai Sonata N-Line is also available fyi. It has the exact same powertrain as the K5 GT. You may already know that though. Just wanted to give you another option if you weren't aware. Good luck.
I feel the exact same way, exact. I have a 2.0 Accord and it is boring me. I actually just stopped by the Kia dealership and am seeing the K5 GT for the first time and it is a slick looking car. I have a tremendous appetite to trade this car in right now for either an N-line or the K5 GT. The deals on the N-line are signifant and a dealer is trying hard to get me to buy one. The big issue is that I really want a Stinger with the 3.3 liter but at the moment is a bit out of my price range. I know if I get one of these 2 once the euphoria wears off I am going to still wish I had the Stinger. At the end of the day these cars are still too similar to the Accord despite some added features. The other thing has to do with launching the car. Conditions have to perfect and you have to have expensive tires in order to get the best possible launch which is annoying. The Accord destroys these cars off the line and barely loses in a roll race. Just can't justify an investment that large for a car like that. No more 4 cylinder turbos. I want that Stinger 3.3 liter V6 which would never get boring and the car gets off the line unbelievably for just a bit more money.
@@XWXW-lk4jf I know you said no more 4 cyl Turbos, but keep in mind in a few months the 2022 base Stinger is getting the 2.5T of the K5 GT. It is rated at 300hp in the Stinger as well. It will also be going up $3K, but the increased performance and fuel efficiency will be worth it alone imo.
@@wbwayne8887 I guess that would be possible but I would always still want that 3.3 liter. With the AWD though it can probably actually put the power down at least. That is what is so maddening about the K5GT and NLINE is they just can't put the power down, especially in cold weather from the sounds of it. Also, if you notice, there are so many unbelievably positive reviews on those cars, basically saying they are the best cars ever made. They talk about how fast they are and how much better than the Accord and the 5 seconds to 60 but if you notice, none actually do an actual timed 0-60 test, they only talk about having done it. I have never seen an actual test where the timer says 5 seconds at 60. Maybe it exists, I just have not seen it. That makes me very suspicious because no one has any criticism of these K5GT and Nline at all. There should be pros and cons talked about more extensively. If Throttlehouse did not do that race video with the Accord and Nline I'd be in one now with tremendous buyers remorse. I think that this video does a good jobs of showing the pros and cons of the Nline. ua-cam.com/video/dxrk3f2TrSg/v-deo.html
@@XWXW-lk4jf I trust car and driver, and they are the auto media that recorded the 5.0 0-60 test. I have seen plenty of reviews where auto journalists say the Sonata N-Line/K5 GT are faster than the Accord, but have not seen one that says the overall car is better than the Accord. Quite the contrary actually. The last paragraph of this MT article says it all. The Accord is the top car in it's respective segment. www.motortrend.com/cars/honda/accord/2021/2021-honda-accord-sport-20t-first-test-review/
@@smokesgtp Hell no 😂. The Accord is filled with dash rattles, not to mention the CVT transmission. The Accord can’t touch the K5 in terms of refinement. My buddy had a 2019 Accord, the transmission failed at 36k, junk. You can’t compare modern Honda reliability with modern Kia reliability. Kia is superior.
Kia needs to make the K5 2.5 liter turbo in AWD. Putting the power to the ground is the issue with this car...I may have to settle for the K5 with the 1.6 liter turbo motor because it comes in AWD and handles way better launching it and in the corners.
Both are nice cars! Edmunds did a fair review. The K5 GT & Accord SPORT 2.0 are its top picks among mid-sized sedans. I agree that K5 GT could benefit from a LSD and the Accord 2.0 needs a sport tuned suspension. AWD on the K5 GT would weight it down more. I still think the 10 speed automatic of the Accord delivers torque better in the various gears especially on the lower end! K5 GT is subjectively the most attractive mid-sized car for 2021. The Mazda 6 is beginning to show its age. Plain hood, front grill looks much like when the body design was introduced in 2014. Older 6 spd transmission and infotainment system is obsolete. 2021 Camry V6 doesn't deliver the fun that the K5 GT and Accord 2.0 deliver. I don't like the Camry's front facia! It's interesting that the Honda & Toyota might be introducing V6 turbos in 2022. Then AWD will be a must for these proto types.
I own the Accord Sport and it is no sports sedan. At all!!! That understeer is epic and the suspension damping is horrible. Breaking is not the best past low speeds also. Sorry these reviewers are not being honest.
I like the accord alot, don't get me wrong I like the other cars to but it seems like they trying to look sporty, while the accord looks natural, classy, and its not trying to be to sporty.
Always Honda. Kia might make good cars but the public's perception still sucks about it. I honestly think it has to do with it's name and logo. If they would change both things it'll help alot
@@bradleyscarreviews I wouldn't be so sure as the sonata n is a heavier car than the accord. Hondas always banked on power to weight since the dawn of time. But still, that sonata is nothing to joke about.
This test really shows why Kia sould not have put on junk all season tires on the GT here. If both were on summer tires, the GT would win in all tests due to the extra torque needing traction. I really wish Kia gave the GT a mechanical LSD and not dumb down the interior. Looks so dark and dreary inside the GT spec. The Accord needs an LSD and not a detuned engine. At $35k I a looking at a deal on a Kia Stinger which is a proper drive
11. Honda Accord • Most common complaint: Service brakes (9 complaints) • Total complaints 41 • 2019 sales (through Q3): 204,463 • Vehicle type: Mid-size sedan Among the 41 complaints about the 2019 Honda Accord filed with the NHTSA, the highest total were in regards to the brakes - specifically the automatic braking system. Several drivers reported the system automatically braking when there was no need. USAToday
I have no loyalty to either company. Currently own a 9th gen accord, used to own a 2011 optima sx (it truly did suck). I'd love to consider the new accord, but the interior design is not welcoming to a taller driver unless you're sitting on the floor. Properly adjusted seat results in my knee being in the center stack/start button. I haven't driven a k5 gt yet but have driven several nline sonata's. I have to say they've come a long way. Lack of engine history/reliability data is concerning for the kia/hyundai. Probably a good idea to give it a few years before committing to one. The 10 year powertrain warranty is nice, but nicer yet is not having to make any repairs during that period either. Did anyone catch the k5 geting some air in the rear right wheel in the video. That's pretty aggressive cornering. A limited slip diff would def be helpful and shouldn't add too much in terms of cost/weight. Or at least a cost/expensive most would be willing to pay for. Also, those all season tires are trash. Put some michelin pilot super sport or sport a/s 3+'s. Much better traction.
@Catholic Firefighter and the taillights on the K5 is soooooo ugly. A lot of people talk about how the Accord taillights are but I actually love the design lol its very rare
Well you should I've had three Hondas and they were decent cars. But my three KIA'S have been better deals. But I do drive my better cars until they're ready for the scrap yard.
@@patrickcooper4571 Well, if Honda is so confident in their vehicles longevity, why don't they offer a longer warranty? If no one ever had to take their Honda in for warranty service for 5 years or 60k miles, or 10 years and 100k miles on the powertrain, what would it cost Honda to provide a warranty to cover that time and those miles? Maybe it's because Honda wants to sell all their customers an extended warranty at extra cost when they buy their shiny new vehicle from them, instead of offering an expanded warranty for free, like Kia and Hyundai does.
@@chuckd7423 It's the total opposite, Kia and Hyundai offer free extended warranty so they can sell more vehicles knowing 90% of people will never keep them that long. To answer your question on why Honda doesn't offer free extended warranty if they are confident of their vehicles? Well ask Google who makes the most reliable engines in the world? Let me know who got #1 and if Kia even made the list.🤣😂
I own a 2.0t 10spd you’re way too high on 0-60 secs. It’s more like 5.4-5.5 secs. Very fast car put it in sport mode and take out a lot of cars if not all. Majority of cars you’ll smoke at lights 😎
I actually test drove both the Stinger GT & Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack prior to settling on a few year old low mile used Audi S6, so I'd love to see the proposed comparison.
@@bruh1077 K5 GT MSRP is in the $35k range. Stinger GT Line MSRP is in the $37k range, but you get a more versatile hatchback design in the Stinger, plus RWD with an LSD, which is far superior to the FWD open differential design of the K5, plus the Stinger engine is tuned to 300 HP while the K5 is 290 HP. You can also get AWD on the Stinger, but not on the K5. On top of that, I think the Stinger looks sportier and is more attractive, but that's subjective. If I were choosing between these two vehicles, I'd put up the extra $2k and get the Stinger. Of course, these days dealers are marking up everything due to vehicle shortages, so you probably couldn't buy either of these for MSRP today. Back before the pandemic hit you could buy Stingers all day long for several thousand dollars below MSRP, but those days are gone, at least for now.
Yeah, in terms of price it's just too close to the Stinger. Kia, if you're listening, the solution to that is make better deals on the K5, *NOT* raising the price of the Stinger. Thank you =) I think I like the interior of the K5 more, especially the dashboard, but the exterior of the Stinger is way more appealing to me. Sadly, I drive from inside the car under most circumstances. When will Kia replace the Stinger's 2.0T with this 2.5T?

@@RunEmDownTony I wish the k5 would get the summer tires like the sonata-N line. Motortrend and car and driver had the sonata down to 5.0-5.2 0-60 and a 13.6 1/4 mile. The k5 GT is a set of summer tires away from greatness.
@@doubled8247 yeah Hyundai decided to go with the summer tires, definitely more grip there but they wear faster than the all seasons that's on the K5 GT. And even with the summer tires on the K5 GT it still would lose to the accord from a dig at least in a 1/4mile. When you have front wheel drive with no LSD you have to have balanced the K5 GT and Sonata N has far too much power to the front wheels especially since it's boosted power. Again from a roll the K5 GT will win. With all that being said I still take the K5 GT love the accord but I guess seeing so many of them (and there is a good reason why) just kills it for me.
The real test is not the gadgets but the heart of the car which is the engine. The kia will be lucky to last 200,000 miles while the honda is easily over 500,000 miles.
You got it right. I own Accord 1987 and I put 250,000 miles on that one.

I have the exact K5 GT, it’s a great car on the highway and surface rds. It really gets up and goes in sport and sports +. I have Michelin tires on it now and it does great.
Did I miss it? Did you put the Accord in "Sport" mode? For me I've seen a significant change in throttle, suspension and transmission.
It shouldn’t change the suspension at all since there’s no adaptive dampers
@@verothacamaro My bad I have the 2.0t Touring. It does have adaptive dampers. Maybe they should compare the Touring to the Kia.
@@diamondrmp yeah the touring has adaptive dampers which is cool.
Kia K5 looks gorgeous
love the Chiseled look of the K5, an LSD would be a welcomed option. 134 feet stopping distance on 245 width tires from 60..interesting.. probably have to re-do that test on some newer brake pads or a different test car others are claiming 118 to 120 feet
Comparison review are the best. I hope you do many more. The K5 GT definitely needs awd. It seems like the GT Line awd is the best trim.
The comparison review I wanted to see. If you need the Accord's 10spd to downshift to 2nd, why not just use the paddles? Oh yeah, did you even pick a winner? It kind of sounded like the Accord Sport, but wasn't very clear. I also thought the Accord Sport had a sport tuned suspension, compared to the non sport and Touring models anyway. The Accord Sport 2.0T is equipped with alot more than that base K5 GT. Probably why it is cheaper. To get a more equivalent equipped car, you have to purchase the K5 GT GT2 pkg. That makes the Accord Sport the cheaper car.
@@marktakahashi5024
I would love to see an LSD in both of them too, and at least an awd option with the 2.5T.
The accord really punches above its weight. A tune and some better tires could lead to some surprising results.

Savage Geese (Mark) likes the regular K5 with AWD better as well. He said the same thing - more power doesn't necessarily make it better. The grip of the AWD does.
You didn’t mention in what mode you tested the Accord. In Sport mode, the transmission is more responsive when downshifting. Maybe that’s why you couldn’t downshift to 2nd when entering corners?
@@marktakahashi5024

Great review!
Tuning for Accord sounds ideal... just need to brake deep into the apex (as if you're going to go over it) and get the weight shifted the right way for the downshift when you're coming out of the turn... using rear drive techniques for a front drive doesn't jive.
One is a great car and the other is a disposable car. Nobody replaces more engines than Kia.
Bingo
Why? Both are great cars. With your logic, Kia is a disposable brand because they replaced more engines than anyone and Honda is a disposable brand because they replaced more transmissions than anyone.
There are a lot of great disposable cars like Mercedes and BMWs
@Hoolio Iglesias I know that BMWs aren’t reliable but when they work they are very good cars in terms of performance, tech, luxury etc.
Kias are "disposable." Oh? Kias have gotten better over time. I had a 1997 Sephia and I took it to 110,502 miles by the time I traded it in. (After a break from Kia for a 2006 Chevy Cobalt from 2007 to 2019, I got myself a 2016 Kia Forte.) How did I do it? Routine maintenance, everybody. I kept up with the oil change schedule and had necessary fixes done before they turned into huge headaches. If you take care of your car, no matter what make it is, it will take care of you. The owner's manual is your Bible when it comes to car ownership. And, yes, Kia vehicles have gotten better. It's not 1997 anymore, guys. Kia is kickin' butt! (1/2/2022)
There's no denying the accord but I'd go with the K5 GT. Too me it's just more exciting and it looks better. I'm not gonna be going to the track with the car so I could care less about not being able to put power down out of the corners I won't be taking corner hard and the car also struggles taking off from a stand still due to traction issues but where it shines is merging and passing power. Great for highway pulls and that's where I drive the most. Honda just doesn't excite me anymore. I'm not even that excited about the TLX. I guess I been with Honda Acura for a while and before that I know what to expect and it's more of the same and that's a compliment. I've just out grown Honda and Acura it's time to venture off and see what other brands offer and the K5 GT is definitely a bull's-eye. Plus in a world filled with accord, camry altima you would definitely stand-out.
The Hyundai Sonata N-Line is also available fyi. It has the exact same powertrain as the K5 GT. You may already know that though. Just wanted to give you another option if you weren't aware. Good luck.
I feel the exact same way, exact. I have a 2.0 Accord and it is boring me. I actually just stopped by the Kia dealership and am seeing the K5 GT for the first time and it is a slick looking car. I have a tremendous appetite to trade this car in right now for either an N-line or the K5 GT. The deals on the N-line are signifant and a dealer is trying hard to get me to buy one. The big issue is that I really want a Stinger with the 3.3 liter but at the moment is a bit out of my price range. I know if I get one of these 2 once the euphoria wears off I am going to still wish I had the Stinger. At the end of the day these cars are still too similar to the Accord despite some added features. The other thing has to do with launching the car. Conditions have to perfect and you have to have expensive tires in order to get the best possible launch which is annoying. The Accord destroys these cars off the line and barely loses in a roll race. Just can't justify an investment that large for a car like that. No more 4 cylinder turbos. I want that Stinger 3.3 liter V6 which would never get boring and the car gets off the line unbelievably for just a bit more money.
@@XWXW-lk4jf
I know you said no more 4 cyl Turbos, but keep in mind in a few months the 2022 base Stinger is getting the 2.5T of the K5 GT. It is rated at 300hp in the Stinger as well. It will also be going up $3K, but the increased performance and fuel efficiency will be worth it alone imo.
@@wbwayne8887 I guess that would be possible but I would always still want that 3.3 liter. With the AWD though it can probably actually put the power down at least. That is what is so maddening about the K5GT and NLINE is they just can't put the power down, especially in cold weather from the sounds of it. Also, if you notice, there are so many unbelievably positive reviews on those cars, basically saying they are the best cars ever made. They talk about how fast they are and how much better than the Accord and the 5 seconds to 60 but if you notice, none actually do an actual timed 0-60 test, they only talk about having done it. I have never seen an actual test where the timer says 5 seconds at 60. Maybe it exists, I just have not seen it. That makes me very suspicious because no one has any criticism of these K5GT and Nline at all. There should be pros and cons talked about more extensively. If Throttlehouse did not do that race video with the Accord and Nline I'd be in one now with tremendous buyers remorse. I think that this video does a good jobs of showing the pros and cons of the Nline.

Quite the contrary actually. The last paragraph of this MT article says it all. The Accord is the top car in it's respective segment.

@@jaredshelton4718 lol
The Honda is a much more refined vehicle and drives better. It really isn't even debatable.
@@smokesgtp Hell no 😂. The Accord is filled with dash rattles, not to mention the CVT transmission. The Accord can’t touch the K5 in terms of refinement. My buddy had a 2019 Accord, the transmission failed at 36k, junk. You can’t compare modern Honda reliability with modern Kia reliability. Kia is superior.
Kia needs to make the K5 2.5 liter turbo in AWD. Putting the power to the ground is the issue with this car...I may have to settle for the K5 with the 1.6 liter turbo motor because it comes in AWD and handles way better launching it and in the corners.
Do you own an actual K5 GT? I didn't think so!
Both are nice cars! Edmunds did a fair review. The K5 GT & Accord SPORT 2.0 are its top picks among mid-sized sedans. I agree that K5 GT could benefit from a LSD and the Accord 2.0 needs a sport tuned suspension. AWD on the K5 GT would weight it down more. I still think the 10 speed automatic of the Accord delivers torque better in the various gears especially on the lower end! K5 GT is subjectively the most attractive mid-sized car for 2021. The Mazda 6 is beginning to show its age. Plain hood, front grill looks much like when the body design was introduced in 2014. Older 6 spd transmission and infotainment system is obsolete. 2021 Camry V6 doesn't deliver the fun that the K5 GT and Accord 2.0 deliver. I don't like the Camry's front facia! It's interesting that the Honda & Toyota might be introducing V6 turbos in 2022. Then AWD will be a must for these proto types.
Kia gt is much faster and flat stability but both in track is best I like both I own kia but I like Honda have name on engine.

This test really shows why Kia sould not have put on junk all season tires on the GT here. If both were on summer tires, the GT would win in all tests due to the extra torque needing traction. I really wish Kia gave the GT a mechanical LSD and not dumb down the interior. Looks so dark and dreary inside the GT spec. The Accord needs an LSD and not a detuned engine. At $35k I a looking at a deal on a Kia Stinger which is a proper drive
11. Honda Accord
• Most common complaint: Service brakes (9 complaints)
• Total complaints 41
• 2019 sales (through Q3): 204,463
• Vehicle type: Mid-size sedan
Among the 41 complaints about the 2019 Honda Accord filed with the NHTSA, the highest total were in regards to the brakes - specifically the automatic braking system. Several drivers reported the system automatically braking when there was no need. USAToday
I have no loyalty to either company. Currently own a 9th gen accord, used to own a 2011 optima sx (it truly did suck).
I'd love to consider the new accord, but the interior design is not welcoming to a taller driver unless you're sitting on the floor. Properly adjusted seat results in my knee being in the center stack/start button.
I haven't driven a k5 gt yet but have driven several nline sonata's. I have to say they've come a long way. Lack of engine history/reliability data is concerning for the kia/hyundai. Probably a good idea to give it a few years before committing to one. The 10 year powertrain warranty is nice, but nicer yet is not having to make any repairs during that period either.
Did anyone catch the k5 geting some air in the rear right wheel in the video. That's pretty aggressive cornering. A limited slip diff would def be helpful and shouldn't add too much in terms of cost/weight. Or at least a cost/expensive most would be willing to pay for. Also, those all season tires are trash. Put some michelin pilot super sport or sport a/s 3+'s. Much better traction.

Stinger runs in the 40s while k5 runs in the 20s.
@@bruh1077 K5 GT MSRP is in the $35k range. Stinger GT Line MSRP is in the $37k range, but you get a more versatile hatchback design in the Stinger, plus RWD with an LSD, which is far superior to the FWD open differential design of the K5, plus the Stinger engine is tuned to 300 HP while the K5 is 290 HP. You can also get AWD on the Stinger, but not on the K5. On top of that, I think the Stinger looks sportier and is more attractive, but that's subjective. If I were choosing between these two vehicles, I'd put up the extra $2k and get the Stinger. Of course, these days dealers are marking up everything due to vehicle shortages, so you probably couldn't buy either of these for MSRP today. Back before the pandemic hit you could buy Stingers all day long for several thousand dollars below MSRP, but those days are gone, at least for now.
Is the resale value the same? I think the Honda will be a better value in 5 to 10 years, to sale.
In 10 years, neither car is gonna be worth that much. I’ve owned two Honda accords.

Yeah, in terms of price it's just too close to the Stinger. Kia, if you're listening, the solution to that is make better deals on the K5, *NOT* raising the price of the Stinger. Thank you =)
I think I like the interior of the K5 more, especially the dashboard, but the exterior of the Stinger is way more appealing to me. Sadly, I drive from inside the car under most circumstances. When will Kia replace the Stinger's 2.0T with this 2.5T?
It was announced a few months ago. Pretty sure it's supposed to be this year at some point. Maybe for the 2022 Stinger.
