For the price, it offers a lot of features, without mentioning how good it looks.

They nailed the design. It's modern, it's unique. They took inspiration from the Stinger but made the rear end more sleek. I see these things on the road everywhere so we know they're selling. Nice job Kia.

[gavins.]

this dude is so charismatic, first time i was entertained while watching a car review lmao

[Effingslackin]

As a 2021 Honda Accord 1.5T sport owner, The K5 is a better choice. Both are nice, however after test driving the k5, it rides better, less road noise and it has a panoramic sunroof.

For someone whos driven a lot of civics/accords and had a k5/stinger I have to admit, KIA has come a huge ways and I would really prefer KIA over Honda now.

As someone who was contemplating between a Honda Accord or a k5, when I test drove the Kia I immediately knew the k5 was going to be my car. More features, newer technology, smoother ride, all for around the same price. I also got the EX package

[ianemory]

I've got a 2022 GT line and love it. The Accord is still a beast, but the K5 is great for the price.

[s-covers]

Loved the POV test drive, I'm totally leaning towards the K5 for my first car!! Thanks Joe and Lori, yall are the best in the business!!

[bmlove]

Thank you Joe & Lori, for all your hard work!! It pays off!!

I have the 2022 K5 GT-Line AWD in wolf grey and absolutely love it. In comparison to the EX, I like the look of the GT series better with the sporty steering wheel, but I will say those new features such as the 360 degree camera and ventilated seats would be great to have. However, the GT-Line was cheaper, even with AWD so it’s a give and take

[Theonestrongbusleader]

Oh yes!!! This is all I been waiting for this one and thanks Joe for reviewing and POV test drive my favorite sedan by Kia.

[karleethomas]

As someone who has Kia K5 I've never had a brand new car and I love it

[kyron]

Accord and K5 are the all round best in the segment for me. Great review as always !

[chrisnistroses]

Really in my opinion the only thing holding this thing behind is the gauge display. I know that most of it competitors don’t offer it either but an all digital cluster would make this car feel more luxurious and then considering nowadays that every car is loaded up with technology I think now it’s become a norm instead of an option.

[pcmalcolm]

Hey Joe the kia k5 is amazing and I would be a nice car to drive. Keep the good work and I know the heat is hot while you are bringing the action of cars to us. I hope you stayed hydrated.

[divvish]

Raiti killin it with the 4k camera uploads!!! I feel the heat watching on my computer 🥵

[nicoletiana]

i just got myself a 2020 nissan versa sv. i'm a toyota person but i think I dropped the gun too fast and this is what i ended up leaving the lot with, lol i'm grateful, its the perfect car for me. all glory to god! I like this kind of videos. i have videos of my car on my channel and videos about the process of getting my car etc.

I have a 2015 Kia Optima Hybrid EX. It has leather, heated/cooled front seats, heated back seats, heated steering wheel, power folding mirrors, tinted windows all around, front wheel drive, push button ignition, I updated the UVO standard GPS from MapNsoft to where I have Apple CarPlay now, and it only has 72, XXX miles on it. I wish it had a sunroof, but I live in the Pacific Northwest where it rains a lot.

The more I see the K5’s, the more I want one! I was originally wanting a Challenger, or a Optima SX Turbo, but the K5’s have been killing it lately!

[arvindramesh]

how on earth did you read my mind, I watched your K5 GT vid just two days ago and was hoping you'd review the EX!

[edwardauerbach]

I have leased two Kia Optima SX Turbos and really like them. They were really reliable and fun to drive. I have also leased a Mazda 6 inscription which was even more fun to drive but offered less total room than the Optimas. The Dealer experience was about the same with either car. In this segment you could not go wrong with Kia.
