Anything is better looking than the new Honda Taurus.
Haha
That's an insult to Ford. The Taurus actually looked good. This gen Accord is frickin hideous.
The Accord really is a Very boring car!!
This K 5 keeps looking better and better every year!! Very nice
Yes, indeed!
Good review. Just a slight critique. It would be great if we could see the cluster while u drive instead of ur face lol. Like a drivers pov.
👍
Very thorough. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent review as always. Thanks Matt and keep up the good work!
Thanks again!
Excellent video Matt.
Thanks!
It would be cool if the Kia logo light up, and if the front /near the lights but in the middle also light up at night.
That would be great!
Yeah of course Matt & I will buy this vehicle.
Of course!
Also I wish the inside would light up too at night. Doors ect
@@courtneyparrish8576 Ambient lighting? Most of non luxury cars dont have it but it would be nice.
I own a 2014 Optima SX 2.4 with 192 HP.....I definitely would prefer the GT with 295 HP...Even better is the K9, but I don't think it's offered here in the States (at least not yet) once you see the K9 you can't settle foe anything less!
The K9 here is Genesis, K5 will be offered in GT shortly.
Bought this same color and model 3 days ago. I love it. Actually its a luxury modern car
Perfect! Congratulations!
Well it’s an Optima, not luxury at all. It’s a small car that’s not a hybrid and still gets good gas mileage.
The LXS and EX trims should have an optional hybrid system. It’s available in Korea but still hasn’t made its way to the US. Kia and Hyundai have some pretty decent hybrids and people in the US clearly prefer them over non-Tesla EV’s-though the Hyundai/Kia EV’s seem to be increasing their monthly sales.
That's our market with the cost cutting. KIA has nothing to do with it. Of course they get all of the features because it's their market. I assume our market want to focus on the hybrids with the Sonata instead of K5. There's some features Sonata has that the K5 don't and vice versa. If Hyundai and KIA were American cars, then we will get all the bells and whistles. Because its an import, something gotta give to make the price competitive. The bright side is that both Hyundai and KIA still have performance model sedans. Toyota and Honda both got rid of their performance models in place for hybrids. There's enthusiast who still want a performance sporty sedan. Not everyone desire to have a hybrid. If you want a hybrid, you will have to get the Sonata.
Maybe in the future...
Hows the SOUND SYTEM? No one ever address's how the stereo sounds. You didn't show the panoramic sunroof. Otherwise nice review.
Thats because of RUclips's copyright policies. If you use any sound that is not allowed you'll get copyrighted and demonetized. Sounded good.
I want one sooo bad but I only have $2k 💀😭
You can put that as down payment.
Top of the line and expensive which is odd cos this doesn't have an AWD option and no fog lights. Why kia? Smh
You dont need fog lights. It has too bright headlights .
@bb.jannaho1886 Gt line front/awd has the same bright lights and still includes fog lights. The removed rear AC vents and a 360-degree camera for the GT line. Last year the GT line was the top model.
@Brayant25 It's called "cost cutting," my friend. Something has to give to make the price competitive in U.S. market. You only get all of the features if you live in South Korea, where KIA and Hyundai are based at. That explains why this particular model K5 cost less than the competition. You want a hybrid, you will have to get the Sonata. And this is not Hyundai and KIA doing. It's our market, which they decides which top features will be best for the American market. There's some features we get that the Canadian market don't get and vice versa.
@@Brayant25GT-Line NEVER been the top of the line model for KIA K5. GT-Line is just the sportier aesthetic of the LXS trim. Everyone knows the EX is the luxurious model. Here's the trims in order..LXS, GT-Line, EX, and GT. KIA had a base LX trim, but discontinued that trim for the refresh.
I don't think the new granny Camry has fog lights either but I could be wrong.
It is better than Accord. Accord has lots of good things going for it so it’s not trash but Honda got stingy and cut corners and doesn’t even have vents in back seats and bass sounds awful standard. No fog lamps. Even CRVS turn off while in park for a few minutes without option to disable. Go K5!
Definitely K5 is more interesting option.
Way better look than Accord, Honda better stop productions accord right now
They went "too safe" with Accord that's for sure.
The new Honda looks like a sad depressed turtle. Yw
Hahaha
Hahaha
