@John Fedor very smooth, and no cabin noise when i hit about 85-90mph. The gas mileage i get on the car is the best part of it all lol. Has better gas mileage then the Acura TLX or Honda Accord.
I'm glad Kia has went back to Amber. I wish more did Amber because to me they look better and stand out more, especially on sunnier days where the white ones tend to fade out when it's bright out.
@@TEN-ve8mp woah really? Are Kia’s really that reliable? My 2011 Kia Optima caused so many problems. From the engine to the compressor. Maybe it was getting old idk.
Hey guys quick appreciation post! I have been following Joe for such a long time and I blinked and suddenly this man has over 400k subs! If you did not know, Joe used to be a teacher and started youtube to chase his dream of car reviewing. People are all talk, but Joe is literally turning his dream into a reality with his hard work! I really hope he continues to get the recognition that he deserves. ALSO, this car looks so good, definitely might have to consider this next time I'm in the market.
Thank you so much for taking the time to say that. It is great people like yourself that makes Raiti's Rides so amazing! I also have to thank Lori, Vic, Tom and everyone else for their great support!
Raiti's ride the first to post a video on RUclips of the 2021 k5 gt. Never been so excited to watch a video before. Been waiting for this video for months. You're the man! Now time to watch it.
My favorite in the segment alongside the accord. It hard to beat both! I couldn't wait on this review lol. Congratulations on being the first on RUclips to give this to us!
Let's go!!!! Kia has done it again!!! If there were an award for the most improved car company, Kia/Hyundai/Genesis is it!!! These look absolutely stunning and the name change was well warranted!!! It's such a massive departure from what the Optima was!!!! I love them!!! Good going Kia!!!! #RaitisRides #OnThrottle #ToTheDoorPanel #TwinkiesForDays #OnThrottleAgain #LoriGotAngles #CameraQueen #Zonkmeister #CrownVic #OnThrottleAllDay #IfYoureReadyImReady #Kia #K5_GT #ThePowerToSurprise
And the final thing to throw Kia over the top... Their new killer logo! Now hopefully people won't be able to say "but it's a kia" :P. Between this telluride and everything else, they are definitely disrupting the industry!
@@HaxorTech Right? The K5 is such a head turner, honestly I think it looks cooler than the Stinger. It's got that very aggressive 4-door muscle car look that Dodge has with the Charger. Definitely stands out in a sea of bland Sedans that all look the same.
This will be my dream car once they add the technological upgrades from the Korean k5 like the ambient interior lights and digital cluster and also the new Kia logo. Still catches my eye every time I see it on the road though.
Hubby’s car was totaled..just got the new K5. He loooooves this car. It has some features that I’ve never seen before. The car is awesome. I just got the Sorento last year. We’ve become a Kia family.
I am sure down the line someplace and I really hope I am wrong but there are going to be issues with the DCT Transmission. At least with CVT they have been around for a long time, and while not yet perfect, they are getting better with time. If this DCT is relatively new or newer, it is going to take some time to for this to prove itself, and if there are any bugs, time to get rid of those as well. Everyone always knocks CVT and all of these new vehicles are just changing the name of it as they know it gets a bad rap. In reality, its just a variation of CVT
Awesome video! After working at Costco’s tire center I already know people are going to hate how expensive those tires are lol. That’s a cost almost no consumer really takes into consideration 😂
Well done Kia. A year ago I had never looked on their website, now I'm looking at the Telluride, Stinger, Sorento and K5. Bold styling, decent dynamics, perception of quality and value are compelling qualities which are making look at a KIa for my next car
All I can say is your reviews are exciting, extremely informative, unbiased, and entertaining. Keep it up bro because you haven’t met your max potential yet.
Joe, you rock man! I just love how you stick to cars almost anyone can afford, unlike some other reviewers who shall remain unnamed! It's like, if there's something I'm interested in, or something a family member is interested in, chances are, you've reviewed it.
I had a 2013 Kia Koup for no money a few years ago and replaced it with a Honda. I still miss the Kia. All other brands, you're paying a premium for the badge. Sure, it's "just" a Kia, but their value proposition is SOOO high. Compared to the base of other brands, you will get all the options in the Kia.
@@santiagoluna3599 ignorance. Go educate yourself. JD Power and U.S. News and World Reports says it all. New Toyotas and Hondas are crippled with high number of recalls.
I've been spamming KIA K5 GT review on the search for a month now and what do you know today you are the first and one of my faves. Great review thanks for the vid! Really missing some stuff form South Korea but overall great car. Still kind of wish we had the Sonata interior but the exterior of the K5. Do love it has memory seats though.
Easily one of the best cars you've ever reviewed. I could see just how much you enjoyed putting your foot down in it. I wouldn't have zonked the area with the fog lights but I agree on the chrome trim around the windows. I would zonk the sideskirts though. They needed to be a little more sporty but that's very very minor in a car that Kia absolutely knocked out the park. I think pound for pound, Kia is the best brand on the planet right now. They're getting everything right at the moment. But Joe, is there any chance you're gonna review a K3/Forte/Cerato GT any time soon? As a guy who prefers compact sedans, I'd love to see this.
One thing I respect about this channel is that you review more of the “average” family vehicle. Not these half million dollar cars. Love the content ❤️
I'm definitely going out my way to test drive this thing. I wish you could option for the red interior as well as gravity gray exterior. I hate that Kia limits the color options so much.
@Francis The Predator 2.0 as much as I love the accord with it being my favorite alongside this k5, I have to admit, it will be about even. Car and Driver has shown 0-60 for this engine to be 5.3 seconds and 5.4 seconds for the accord 2.0.
I really like how you explain what is functional and what is not. I had no idea that front end produced functional downforce and was tested in a wind tunnel. I think a lot of car people like things to be functional so it’s great to see this info in a review. Not many reviewers focus on those small details.
I'm obviously a bit late commenting on this video, as it's been out for five months, but man, I really, really like the direction that Hyundai and Kia are headed. Remember the cheap, fun and sporty cars that were coming outta Japan in the eighties, nineties and early 2000s? I feel like that's kinda been the direction they've been headed since the release of the Genesis Coupe, and well, it looks like they're proving me right! Another phenomenal review, as always!
Amazing review Joe. Honestly man Korean car brands have really step up their game, one really has to think very hard why would you opt for European/American/Japanese brands at this price point.
Was told that this is on the train near my city and I should be looking at this car in the new couple of days in my driveway in the Wolf Grey color. Cannot wait.
havnt seen Joe smiling this much other than driving luxury sports cars, i can feel the fun, another very competitive sports sedan from Kia, will look much better with new logo, well done Kia and Joe for always awesome "on throttle!!!🤩🤩" review!!
Looks nice, Joe! Can't wait to see a review of the Sonata N Line, which seems to have the same engine/HP. Keep up your amazing reviews. You're my go-to for car reviews!!
When you let us hear it as you always do I thought someone has stolen it. I hadn’t seen the “drive off” before. 😂 Another home run both, what an attractive sedan. Thanks for taking us out.
Joe, love your reaction after “on throttle”. The kia’s are smoking lately. I have a 14 optima in the top trim line and it’s soo much fun to drive. I actually kept it as a spare care to have fun with. I can’t even imagine what the new ones feel like. Another great video
I bought the exact car in this video today and its all due to when and I watched this same video 3 years ago , thank you so much for this review and being on my journey getting my first car
@steven I love the car.!I like rear wheel drive cars or all wheel drive rear base. The K5 looks cool, FWD is good if you live in cities where you get snow. Stinger GT to me is the way to go....It’s a reason why it cost more.....Cons..... The Stinger GT eats up tires.... They sit staggered!!
Just got a 2021 sonata limited yesterday and my gosh was it a close battle between the K5 and Sonata..imo u can’t go wrong with either car..both very very good looking cars for a good price
@@danielsaucedo5863 They are not mechanically identical or engineered the same way. They share the same engine and transmission but they're not tuned the same way, nor are their suspensions. The Sonata N Line is noticeably faster than the K5 GT and way faster than the Sorento SX. They are not the same company either. Hyundai only owns around 30% of Kia now, down from over 50% back in the late 90s, and Kia does a lot of things on their own, and Hyundai doesn't let Kia have all their best stuff. No separate N division, not as many advanced interior features, all digital dash, HUD, smart park, not as quiet or as much laminated glass. Hyundai just doesn't have as nice styling as Kia in general, especially their front designs. But their biggest problem (and Genesis included) is still their ICE power train performance (compared to the Germans and even the Japanese), particularly fuel economy, but also acceleration...
I’ve been waiting forever for this review!!! 😱😱😱😱😱🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 FWD & 290HP!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I’m ready to buy now!! Thank you so much!! I’ve called my dealership nearby and they don’t have it. Is it officially available now?
Sorry it took so long to get it on the channel today, but the awesome news is the 2021 Kia GT review is 4k!

Congrats Nelly! I low that color.
The wolf grey is killer. I’d stare for sure
you don’t understand HOW BADLY I WANT THAT CAR

Saw this in the space grey the other day and was like damn that’s nice
I am so glad that you liked it.
Oh wow like an iPhone 64!!
I literally just saw it a hour ago 🔥
The grey is my choice as well.
Its wolf gray (officially)
When I see these on the street, those amber DRLS stick out so much. So beautiful
I totally agree with you Emilio!
Those Drls are what made me get mine, and I always catch people lookin 😂
I'm glad Kia has went back to Amber. I wish more did Amber because to me they look better and stand out more, especially on sunnier days where the white ones tend to fade out when it's bright out.

Any word on when this GT model will be released in North America? Can’t seem to find any in my area.

2016 Optima SXL here, and the only real issue I've had was the heater core last summer 2020. Smooth sailing otherwise

This will be my dream car once they add the technological upgrades from the Korean k5 like the ambient interior lights and digital cluster and also the new Kia logo. Still catches my eye every time I see it on the road though.
2022 will probably have them all
Agreed! Give me the digital gauge cluster with the blindspot camera, new logo and AWD and this will be my next vehicle purchase!
They need to see increased in sales first before they just throw a whole bunch things into it they got to see how well it’s received in the USA
Honestly I would just be happy with the new logo. Also a Limited-Slip Diff would really tighten up the performance.
Probably coming in 22' - definitely by the mid cycle refresh.
I like the inclusion of the car driving away (around 8:30) so we can see how it looks in motion. Add this to all reviews, please.

The rear almost look like a hatchback
The K5 is probably my favorite looking sedan on the market right now! Definitely a contender for being my next car!
Yooo. I've been waiting for this review forever!
I hope it was worth the wait!
I bought new kia forte gt
And seriously kia has stepped up so far loving my kia👌🏼
Im just waiting for a faster forte. I know that Veloster N engine fits just pull the trigger already Kia!
Now we are talking!
@@NBABY-J they are the same company it makes financial sense to do so. Kia and Hyundai share almost everything.
@@NBABY-J same reason people buy a forte over an Elantra, a K5 over the sonata. The cars are mechanically identical but have different style.
@@danielsaucedo5863 They are not mechanically identical or engineered the same way. They share the same engine and transmission but they're not tuned the same way, nor are their suspensions. The Sonata N Line is noticeably faster than the K5 GT and way faster than the Sorento SX. They are not the same company either. Hyundai only owns around 30% of Kia now, down from over 50% back in the late 90s, and Kia does a lot of things on their own, and Hyundai doesn't let Kia have all their best stuff. No separate N division, not as many advanced interior features, all digital dash, HUD, smart park, not as quiet or as much laminated glass. Hyundai just doesn't have as nice styling as Kia in general, especially their front designs. But their biggest problem (and Genesis included) is still their ICE power train performance (compared to the Germans and even the Japanese), particularly fuel economy, but also acceleration...
Would you go Elantra N or Kona N?
AWESOME review Joe & Lori (could tell you had FUN doing it too!) : )
Joe, Kia is really putting some pretty cool cars out. This one is really nice.
