The K5 has always had an impeccable exterior, and that powertrain is nice for the price

It's refreshing to see a performance sedan without a decorative rear spoiler. Very clean. This car gets more appealing every time I see it Thanks Joe

Since the Stinger is gone it would be nice to see the K5 GT in AWD.

The best there's in the segment. No altima no accord no camry looks this good and never did. Lots of fanboys gonna use reliability to justify camry, but when I'm buying a car I want more than reliability, I want looks more power and great value for money and kia/huyndai does just that, not to mention these cars will easily last 10+ years and by that time most people would trade in and get something else

I’m going to upgrade to this, from my 2013 optima i don’t want to get rid of it so I’m keeping it still it has 225 thousand miles no issues ever and still drives like new. I absolutely love Kia.

I’ve been wanting a K5 since I first learned about it years ago. This year I will get a car and this K5 will be it 💯🤝🏾

This car is amazing! I was checking out some other 2025 sedans but the K5 is so much more appealing than the others. I’m super impressed with everything about it and I cannot wait until it drops. I am definitely looking to buy one myself.

The K5 GT looks much better than the 2025 Accord or Camry.

I’m getting a 2025 K5 GT as soon as they come out. Another good review. I’m looking forward to when you get to drive one. By the way Kia says that the color on the calipers and the stitching on the seats is called “Neon Green”…

[arsalanz]

This really looks stunning specially the headlight & taillight design which will become very recognizable.
Korean car makers really improving their game.

[julienalexander]

Honda needs throw that accord in the trash. Unacceptable.
I'm definitely copin' this

Chicago Auto Shows were the best as a highschool student going on a school field trip. Me and my buddies used to go in the rear seats and set the child locks on the doors and see grown men get stuck in the rear seats and have to beg others to open it for them or crawl into the front seats. Obviously boys will be boys but as an adult looking back these videos bring memories lol.

[ABluBRZ]

This looks better than it's Sonata N-Line cousin I say. I will have to zonk you Joe, that stitching is green, not yellow! Great review as always.

[djmintyfreshful]

I have a 23 GT and it’s nice to see they kept the incredible features which make it stand out to faster or more expensive options

[llkk]

I love the black wheels with the white ...very clean look. The design team did a nice job

[HwCollins]

This thing is sleek! Love the review Joe!

[agentzagu]

First thing that caught my eye is that cool daytime running lamp and the tail lights is also cool pair with that beautiful looking quad exhaust awesome.

[jarelljefferson]

I got the 2022 Kia k5 gt line wolf grey and I love mine 🔥 this is even more pressure ‼️

[djakreaper]

This car has always had the looks... but that updated fron though 😍😍😍

[mrmason]

Overall a pretty solid line of cars, 290 HP with the GT is not bad at all. The biggest gripe people have, myself included is that it’s front wheel drive only…0-60 those tires
