I just bought this same car. I traded my Mercedes Benz e300 and I’m happy to get 37 miles per gallon and 6 year 60k warranty and this car is beautiful I’m in love with it.
Update: car is amazing!!!! Gas lasts much more than I expected, the car is so smooth and quiet, the colors in the interior fit very well with the overall design of the vehicle
I am in Orlando Florida, thanks to your review, I just got the Kia K5 AWD GT Line in White Pearl with all the exact same Specs you showed. They had different packages I went for this one, which is; AWD, LED Projectors upgrade, Moon Roof, Heated seats and Wheel, Driving assistance package and Wireless Car Play and charging. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS CAR, and I had a 2018 BMW 330i Series prior this one, I need to say, it feels very European and drives amazing. Totally recommended.
@@mattdee8488 just curious how awd comes in handy for rain? Awd is for getting unstuck in let’s say snow. Mash the throttle in rain and you’ll still lose control.
This car is by far the most cool looking car I have owned. The red leather interior is definitely eye catching and everyone has commented on the Wolf Grey exterior color and unique front grill and lights! Kia hit it out of the park on design, options and price!
Correction: no wireless apple carplay or android auto on the larger infotainment which this one has. Not all of them have the larger screen...and those DO get wireless capability. Nice video, beautiful car.
I bought my 2021 K5 GT Line a month ago and just like Karlie mentioned I get ALOT of double takes and people asking me what car is that?? Alot of positive comments on the styling, Wolf Grey color and my red leather seats..best lookinh car I have ever bought!
@@sammysweet1004 Planning on purchasing this same trim level (wolf grey and red interior). I'm just wondering if the red interior is as super bright as it is shown in the video or if the red interior is a deeper red? I'm so particular about red..lol.
I bought a GT LINE with premium package in passion red. NOBODY notices this car, no heads turn..but I live in a city where most cars are at least 40.000 to 80.000 bucks. However, I like the car very much.
Just got the k5 last week. Already having issues with the wireless apple carplay. Its very glitchy and screen just goes blank. So can't even use navigation. Made an appt with service. Been looking online and forums about the K5 and apparently its happening very often. Really hope kia resolves this issue.
@@JIGL37 can't JUST GET THE BIGGER SCREEN. You have to buy an upgrade package..to get it. However, I have the GT LINE, with the regular screen, bought it last month, ive not had any issues with my android auto connection.
@@CoolGirll00 I contacted kia about the problem. Kia then sent me a link to a software update. Theres info on the link on how to update the software yourself or make an appt with kia service and they will do it. I updated it myself. Its been working so far. Sometimes it glitches or disconnects. but not as much as before.
I traded in my mustang 2020 10 speed Gt for this needed something better on gas . But wanted something sporty got it in white with red guts . Very sleek looking wish it was faster but i I’m looking for fuel economy
Literally just got this same car. Have had it for 1 week and all I can say is... IT IS AMAZING. The ride quality is on par with the germans! I test drove BMW 330i Xdrive and I chose this over it... The BMW is quicker, but the K5 is more smooth and overall stands out. MY ONLY CON... no backup sensors on this spec. At least, I don't see any sensors?
How do you like it now? Any issues? I bought a K5 GT LINE 1 month ago. So far I'm pleased, just turned 1500 miles on it. Passion red with premium package.
If you enter the car with your bluetooth and wireless on, it always connects. If you get in and have to turn those on, it can take a minute to get the Android Auto to come on.
The GT doesn't have AWD. So all that torque is waste. I am putting a performance chip in my K5 GT Line so that I will be around 265 hp. With my AWD that's the best of both worlds.
@@CarGuyCroissant Are you sure about this being a combo package with the red interior with Wolf Grey? I've seen some Wolf Grey gt line not having red interior but black. Just want to make sure this is true before getting wolf Grey
@@Samchakha yes with wolf grey you have 2 options, black or red but red is just exclusive with wolf Grey , I would like grey exterior with red or white with red interior but it’s not possible
@@CarGuyCroissant I want this exact car can you help me set it up just like that I want everything in the car in this video I have 5500 down payment can you pls contact my email is kingkushorlando@gmail.com wanted the gt line but it isn't in awd 😫
Very impressive, beautiful car! Here's what I'm not impressed with: incandescent side marker lights (front), incandescent turn signal bulbs (rear). Why on 🌎 Earth couldn't they just complete the lighting in LED? Same complaint I have with Honda Accord, Sonata, Chevy Blazer, etc. It's 2021 & there no sound reason Manufacturers are holding back on this!
I've had mine for almost a month and I love it so much. 😍 I get so many double takes in this bad boy.
It looks so clean, love the aggressive styling and my favorite part are the new headlights
Did you have problem with the wireless CarPlay or android auto?
How does the car audio sound for the speakers 🔊
@@datfall yeah, it disconnects once in awhile. I'd say out of 20 times it's disconnected 3 or 4 times.
@@direwolf4829 Honestly for a stock system and not the Bose system, I think it's great! I came from a stock 2018 Accord and they sound similar.
Purchased mine 2 nights ago!! Same edition AWD. Red interior.... Such a Gentle Beast I LOVE IT
Is the red interior as bright of a red as it is shown in the video?
@@priscillastephens3978 it doesn’t look that cherry red. a tiny or two less red. But it looks good
@@sammysweet1004 Oh ok..thanks :)
how much

I’ll be purchasing one of these bad boys in the next month or so. I want the same trim & color!
me too around June/July
Me three
@Lulu Monroe how much you paid for it base price if you don’t mind sharing
karma Gurung I want to know the same thing, also what can I do if no dealer has this specific trim and interior?
@Michael Rios how much did you get yours for?
I have the black K5 Gt-line w/ AWD. I bought it in December. This car is fun to drive and it turns heads. I love it.
My bulge also turns heads
How does it handle in the winter
@@abdi4939 Probably good because it is All Wheel Drive.
Purchased one yesterday! I absolutely love it 🥰
Love how detailed he goes on about the car and every button the interior has, great video. Will be seeing Kia soon for that K5 with leather interior
Thank you!!!

Beautiful vehicle! Thank you for sharing.
Glad you like it!
Great video! Thanks for the thorough walk through.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My only negative is that the tail light turn signals or not LED, other than that on point. If Kia adds full LED light, game over!
Kia not playing around. I drive a 2016 forte love that little car
Very impressive let’s hope the dealers throughout the US don’t add an additional addendum sticker to the MSRP of this vehicle, consumers behavior!

My only complaint is why can’t they give you a power adjustable passenger front seat.
Wow kia k5 Top up goooood 😍 👏 😳 👌 🙌 😑 😍
No rear air vents?
How much is K5 With Red interior package
Has anyone switched the exhaust and if they have to what exhaust did you switch too ?
Will the u.s version gt get the digital cluster?
N O P E
If you want that digital display you have to get the Hyundai Sonata.
how do you make the orange lights pulse like that?
It's just a filming glitch, in the same way some LED lights flicker while being filmed.
Very nice but they really have to stop calling those seats leather , it's not leather.
Please how much will it cost to get the same trim and specs but the 10.25 inches infotainment screen?
trims and packages can be found on kia.com
Alright thanks and please can it be shipped to Ghana
I wish I had got this instead of the forte gt it sucks in the snow lol
same just bought a 2020 optima didn’t even know this came out 🤦🤦
email me, we can change that
@@CarGuyCroissant 😅 I can’t I’ve only had this forte for 2 months and still owe 28000
Do you have any problem with the wireless CarPlay or android auto? There are a number of people reporting of it not working after a few days
Nope! Hooks up just fine every time for me.
If you enter the car with your bluetooth and wireless on, it always connects.
If you get in and have to turn those on, it can take a minute to get the Android Auto to come on.
i’ve had an issue with carplay since i bought mine in august of 2020. I updated the head unit and it fixed the issue (i think)
Give me the 2.5 GT K5 with 290 HP / but u can't get that beautiful red seats in the GT 2.5 / but GT u get a 10 inch screen

@@abdultaylor6571 There goes your warranty, and that small 1.6 liter 4 cyl will detonate itself in pretty short order.
Is the red interior only on gt line trim?
With the GT not being available yet yes the GT Line with Special Edition package is the only trim you can get with the red interior
@@CarGuyCroissant I noticed also that the red interior is only on the Grey wolf color? Or is it just the state im in? (Ohio)
You are correct! It's an exclusive color combo package for just the GT Line, an associate and I did some digging to confirm.
