Unless you're racing at a track this has more than enough power for the average driver you don't need over 200 horsepower. And with a k&N air filter you get better throttle response and it's a good car overall
@ I absolutely adore it. 8,000 miles in, drives super well, looks amazing, my warranties cover me on everything including oil and tires. Constantly get compliments on it - well worth it. With the new naturally aspirated engine reliability is way better and isn’t nosediving like honda. Definitely recommend it!
Nice to see rear turn LEDs finally. Something I noticed is that projector headlights are gone, the 4 trims all just get reflectors. The physical difference between reflector and projectors was an easy way to tell whether the pre-refresh gt-line or gt had their premium package. And the pre-refresh EX even with its premium package didn't get projectors. And now the EX doesn't even have a package option anymore
Ive had my 2025 k5 gt line for almost a week now. I love it. You get a lot of tech and features for the price. Drives smooth and very comfortable seats, had a 3 hour drive with no issues. Only thing I would change is maybe opting for the premium pkg: upgraded sound system, pano sunroof, and ambient lighting. I would have been down to pay a bit more for those features. Other than that I think its a great option if your just looking for something stylish, fun, and affordable to get to where you need to go
Hi Will. If you had to choose only one, which would you choose? This 2025 Kia GT AWD or the 2025 Nissan Altima RL AWD ? I love both of them. What say you, Will ? Thx for your response 😊❤

Was really looking forward to getting one of these 25’s. Unfortunately KIA decided ONLY to import this K5 with very limited interior colors. You can only have a black one on the EX and GT. The GT-Line offers red or black. That’s it. No other choices.
I hope that im wrong, however, I have a feeling that the missing chrome strip on the front window is an "oops". On the ones that I've seen in person, it was missing on the passenger side and not the drivers 🤷
They're all shipped with a black protective strip, supposed to be removed in prep. The windows are fully surrounded by chrome. The only "oops" was neglecting to remove the black strip before filming.
Vinyl has a very cheap connotation to it. This material is a much better quality so although “vinyl” would be an accurate description, it’d be like putting cloth, fabric and microfiber in the same category. Faux or synthetic leather just seems like a more fair description considering the increased quality.
Only difference from the previous year is that the GT-Line now comes with parking sensors and 360 camera and the dual screen. Everything else? The same, blah.
Nice car. Because this car is GDI and not dual port, I question the reliability? Why do consumers have to pay for extended warranties to keep a car intact? Why not build proper engines that prevent less carbon build-up? My gosh I know the answer....greed!
@Thefrakenkraken this actually looks better in the front the old ones dotted lights in the back were probably better but they were not full leds and these taillights are not terrible also liked the exhaust pipes on the old gt better but overall the new one is better

If only it didn't have those ugly wheels. Otherwise I do like it.
@@porfiriato84you can get different aftermarket wheels brodie it won’t void your warranty a whole set for 800 - like 1,500 that’s not bad tbh
@@porfiriato84 Don't you have options?
@@porfiriato84they’re nice wheels?
Getting this in a few weeks; I appreciate the thorough review!
How do you like it?

How'd you pay for it? (*never bought a car yet*)
Great review! I’ve had mine for several days now and you hit all the stuff I’ve been loving about it.
does it have ambient lighting
@@j317premium package gt line does
can’t wait to test drive a 25 one!! very very happy with mine 23 Gt line AWD 😍
Sounds awesome man hope you enjoy it moving forward!
Kia gives you more car for the money and this is a beautiful car with great wheels.
Great review and great car. Waiting for your review on the new K4 GT-Line...
Love my 2024 K5! I like the interior updates for 2025
Amazing job Will & I'm thinking of buying this.
You say that about every car on the planet
Just bought the 2025 and im in love from 2 mini vans to this hell yes
Someone forgot to remove the black strip on the front driver side window surround lol
I just subscribed… you been killing it don’t these car reviews. Keep up the great work!
The wolf grey is the best!
Agreed 👍🏼

I can’t wait for the glove box so I can put my 20 to 25 license plates inside!!

I keep my eyes open for those videos!
The window trim isn't supposed to be like that. That dealership did something with a wrap I think
Amazing review Will.

Excellent review. Thank you!
Which has a more comfortable suspension? This one or the Sorento
When will you do 2025 K5 GT trim review?
I’ll try getting one asap! 👍🏼
@@WTFCRLT1yeeesss! I'm interested in the new GT
thanks for this video i plan on check this out next week but i think i will ask for the GT 1 package for features
Good job getting your hands on this.
Thanks glad you liked it! 👍🏼
@@WTFCRLT1 No problem. Hopefully the EX and GT soon
Is it naturally aspirated?
Yes, 2.5 liter 4 cylinder.
Do you think the glove box can fit 20 to 25 license plates?
Is this faster then the 1.6 L turbo engine?
Love the Amazing . K 5
Can we talk about the Isuzu troopersin the back My step dad had one brand new in1998
He buried the lead with those in the background
Looks good! Seems to have more pickup than the Sportage I test drove. That thing was SLOWWW
He had the protection film on the door trim 😭
Hyundai Sonata or Kia K5 GT line??
I prefer the exterior of my current 2023 GT-Line but with the interior and drivetrain of this one
It is ridiculous my 2023 Kia Forte LXS with package option also pearl white has blind spots monitors for $ 22000 🤷♂️ 11:13

@@prescottlange yeah, I realized this after commenting. Still seems odd
Can you review The 2024 Sonata Hybrid Limited?
I’ll try getting one asap! 👍🏼
@@WTFCRLT1 Awesome! Thank you
I have an ETA of June 25th for my 2025 K5 GT with the GT1 package…
what are they asking? you didn’t show the silly dealer adds ons they try to charge you
What is this add on sticker ?!
Really nice 🔥🔥
WTF couldn't Kia also make a manual transmission option? I'd love a sport sedan like this with a manual transmission.
Does anyone have this yet?
I doooo
I hate that you guys all keep using the word faux leather when it's vinyl

This material is a much better quality so although “vinyl” would be an accurate description, it’d be like putting cloth, fabric and microfiber in the same category.

just realized he aint driving with any plates on lol
Cool!
Only difference from the previous year is that the GT-Line now comes with parking sensors and 360 camera and the dual screen. Everything else? The same, blah.
I see how they put a 2k market adjustment on the window sticker. What a joke

All good except for that weirs sounding bose
Cute guy
They actually downgrade the car
Can’t believe it 😢
JFC that back end is UGLY
Agreed
Why is it so cheap?? 😂
wow this looks terrible they really butchered the exterior design
Lies !!!
@@sir.mohamadpickingcotton1079 truth !!

I agree I’m so disappointed 😔 this was to be my dream car but damn this is what they could of come up with it
@ShadaJames this looks better I've seen them side by side the back lights grow on u
