Hybrids with similar features cost a lot more and have similar power. This K5 EX plus 5 year fuel cost and its still cheaper than a hybrid with similar amount of features.
Yes. It's cool all right. But, strip away the veneer, and it's not so much. BHP needs to hit 250 bare minimum; torque to 300 lbs ft. Then, collar would match the cuffs. Glad to see no hybrid warranty claim future for this rig. There needs to be another performance level above this as an alternative for wishful thinking enthusiasts who would like a taste of kimchee.
Is it a Direct Injection engine? If so, it's shelf life is shorter than turbo engines. Owned a 2017 K900 V8. Fantastic automobile, but would ultimately be expensive to have the valves walnut shell blasted every 30,000-40,000 miles. At the least, D.I. engines should come with an oil catch can installed.
The turbo engines are direct injected too, the problem with direct injection is less direct injection and more Kia/Hyundais implementation, they’ve had way more problems than some other brands

I'm looking for a new car roughly in the 10-17k range. Seen some k5s but not sure about reliability of a kia at 65k miles. I heard ford fusions are actually pretty good, going to try and find a 2020 titanium, they look nice too
Don't want to let your cars they don't have the range and just don't like them no personality and not really looking for another hybrid. If they want a hybrid version then they should make a separate model and call it the hybrid model or the blue model but don't ruin the ex model like Hyundai ruined the limited model of the sonata
@tomtomgonzales5580 is that confirmed? I've been looking and can't find out if it for sure has it all it says in the features is led interior lightning but it says that same thing for the gt line so that doesn't necessarily mean ambient lighting
@@j317i saw a video gt has ambient interior lighting. Not sure tho if its plain gt or you have to get gt1 package. Ill try to find that video and post it here
@tomtomgonzales5580 most likely have to get the gt1 package honestly no point of getting the gt without it but yeah if u can link the video also u have to make sure it's for the us the overseas versions have different stuff than the us version they have electric closing trunk
Seems like a great car. I might consider getting it.
Best looking in the class and it’s no competition.

The Turbo was Direct injection also.
Show us the what seams to be a panoramic sunroof. Great video though..👍
The K5 is available in Saudi Arabia in a Hybrid.
I would like to see a k5 hybrid awd.

Every car you test drive you always drive it 35 40. Why?

Don't need a hybrid
Fancy for any car.

Knowing kia probably none
