Thanks!
Appreciate it! Let me know if you have any questions :)
I'm thinking that this car will cost more than the outgoing model
You’re a really good reviewer! I enjoyed watching. Subscribed!
Welcome aboard! Thanks 😊
I love how the K5 GT has the neon green brake calipers like the EV6 GT. I hope KIA makes that a trend for all of their GT models.
Sounds like a plan! 🎉
I believe it is Standard on the Gt when you get the GT1 pkg.
Pfffff the car is beautiful 🔥🔥 cmooon Kia bring it to Europe!!!!!!!!
Yes, please! 🙏
Trash engine and trash sound. Car brand for geeks
@@andreasl4507 oh god shut up. Go look in the mirror
Forget it.. Europe just want SUVs.. stupid humans
@@andreasl4507 womp womp woooooomp
Always loved the looks. I've seen 100s in traffic but they still turn my head
My Goodness!!!!!
KIA K5 just continues to exceed my expectations in terms of innovations, comfort, design and performance.
This is a truly amazing car . I can’t begin to describe the excitement you must’ve felt driving that beauty.
Lucky you 🍻
P.s :Awesome review, you just gained a new subscriber
Welcome aboard :) Sure is a great car 👍
That was a great review. The optima was also called magentas in overseas market, but was optima in the US.N and overseas they had
Claris b before the optimist slash magenta
I would also say in the intro that I review knew we were released cars in the South Korean market
Always learning from my viewers :)
I love the K5s, just bought one recently. While I do think the 2025 still look great, I think the headlight/daytime lamps looked better on the 2021-2024 year models. Have the amber lamps go above the headlights rather than under them as they did previously makes them look more like the 2024 Corollas. Again, it still looks great! I just think the 2021-2024 ones looked a bit more unique. I may like these tail lights more though.

BTW..!
Could please provide us a link for the cameras you’re using..!? I’m looking for more options & it would be appreciated
It was just GoPro12 on this video. I use a variety of cams from camcorders, action cams, iPhone and such.
When do you think HDA2 will be on all vehicles? Wonder why it's delayed in some models even with refresh/facelift. (I know you probably don't have an official answer from the group but just curious on your guess)
@@noob.168Could be due to the physical part differences, could just be a marketing strategy. Only the manufacturers would know the answer to that 😢
That front end is actually growing on me. It actually looks pretty good the more I look at it.
Glad you like it! 👍
@@CarSceneKorea Thanks! Keep the videos coming! You're doing great!
Tiger nose.
I have sportage 2024 and in love with . Kia never fails
👍👍👍
Very excited for this new refresh! Patiently waiting for the US model to be released.... Should hopefully be soon!
Fingers crossed!
.I am happy that this car will come to the Saudi market soon; Maybe I'll get one of these
Congrats! 🎉
تفهم 😂❤❤
Do you know if there are any other interior color options on the GT? Or is the black with the green stitching the default option?
There is no GT variant of the K5 in Korea yet :'(
I'm a Camry fan but this K5 looks amazing interior and exterior. It's so stylish and sleek. Goals!!!!
Glad you like it! 👍
test drive the GT trim pretty please 🙏 🙏
korea doesn't get the 290hp variant tho. i think
I am waiting for Kia K5 to come to Mexico. I am willing to switch my VW GLI for a K5... Great review, I also like the ride for Korea streats.
Glad you like it! 👍
Those side view monitors on the dash are something else. There's no excuse for cutting anyone off when changing lanes.
Did I cut someone off⁉
@@CarSceneKoreaNah, you're good. 😅 This is definitely my next vehicle, the amount of technology for the price is amazing.
Damn, I didn't really like the 2024 but this 2025 looks really good
What trim is this Kia? Awesome review!
It i's a Signature trim here in Korea, probably has a different name for your market. It's nearly loaded model next to Black Fit.
Hi my friend, good video. Could you tell me which is better Sonata 1.6 or K5 1.6t, in drive, design in overall…
Briefly mentioned about the two in the video, but Id lean towards Sonata given the personal taste. One isn’t necessarily superior over the other, it is quite the personal taste.
Definitely liking this over the new camry
😂
This is awesome. Which trim is this
It's called Signature trim here in Korea, trims have different names for diff markets. It's close to being fully loaded.
finally a car with a cool, agressive sporty look, and then it is not available in europe. We have all the other kias here, but the best looking one is not coming to us. Still, there is a hope that the next version will come to us, but i sadly doubt it.
did you test the Sonata Htrac 2024 2.5L seen one in canada Hyundai carry the AWD version to canada maybe the last year for Sonata in Canada
Did not test drive the N-Line nope.
Problem with Sonata N line is the lack of AWD or LSD which means the car is just burning out the front tires. Hopefully Kia K5 remedies this issue.
Watching from the U.S, would this be the same in the US? Also would there be a Bose audio system in the US model?
Not so sure as it will depend on Kia USA. I sure do hope it's offered, at least that BOSE.
I've always preferred the look of the K5 over the Sonata, but no hybrid 😞
Maybe a PHEV in the future??
Sure sounds nice.
This car looks so amazing.
Glad you like it! 👍
A 2016 kia optima owner here. My car was good until the engine and transmission had to be replaced at 165k kms..hope kia has fixed all the engine issues and transmission issues with this new model..just giving cosmetic upgrades are not enough to be a reliable car..comon kia .u can be more reliable and a brand one can consider..
The only reason I wanted a Kia k5 was cause the headlights. They changed the headlights for the 2025. Used to have a 23 and I loved it. But they changed the headlights for the 2025 but I still am a fan of K5.
Sure is a unique design.
very nice looking ride ...
It sure is!
I hate the fact that we don’t get this in Australia, our market has become a very heavy Ute and SUV country with very low sedan sales that we miss out on awesome sporty sedans such as this, at least we have the Sonata N Line though, that car is such a beast.
Not just Australia, but HMG is pulling plugs off on their sedans in some markets 😭
Would love to have one as an EV in the future after my Stinger has to be replaced, this cars look amazing.
I already miss Stinger...
Thanks for the review, I've an older optima and there's a few things I think this newer generations are missing :
The shifter design is a bit insecure in my opinion (although the paddles are awesome)
The older designs are up to 2.7L, so cutting off the 2.7 and the 2.5 doesn't seem like a hood thing from Kia
Other than that is the second best Kia car just after the Stinger.
Thanks for sharing!
@@CarSceneKorea You're very welcome.
Optima was always the sportier of the two. For some reason Sonata was brought up to be sporty yet it is not quite there lacking a lsd...
N-Line, but yeah, no LSD, no fun.
Hopefully they got rid of that 1.6 l turbo for a 2.5liter naturally aspirated
SO SAD WE CAN'T GET THE 2025 k5 in Canada, as a really tall driver i really wanted the k5 !!
It’s discontinued for good? 😭
@@CarSceneKorea yep😭😭 i read that in a article, they sais 2024 was the last year for the K5 in Canada and the 2025 will not come in Canada, and the dealerships are trying to get rid of the few k5 left !!🥲🥲
Can you change the digital km numbers to the classic looks?
There are a few themes you can choose from.
will there be a k5 hybrid in the US
I Wish the KIA forte had a similar design, I prefer compact sedans :)
Well I have news for you. The K4, which is replacing the Forte, is your answer.
Very nice review, you know what to look at and how to talk about it.
I don't like:
- The 'squarish' rims
- The side view, something in the back is missing, maybe the last window should have been longer to show the body better
- The not physical buttons for AC control
- The dash, i prefer a closed dash with screen inside, not just the screen simply put on the dash
I do like:
- The front look, nice grill, very nice lights
- The back, visually nice
- The speaker upgrade, JBL is just not enough, misses some strong bass.
By the way, it is possible that KIA outputs fake engine sounds through the speakers when you put it in Turbo mode. My Kia Proceed 1.6 TGDI does this, unfortunately.
Thanks for sharing! HMG cars do use artificial engine sounds using speakers called many names: Active Sound Design, N Active Sound + and such.
Why the side windows on the back don't go all the way down?
why does this look so much better than the ev6? what were they thinking??
The dual climate/volume controls is a near deal breaker for me. I would get the sonata just because they have separate knobs despite having a cheaper interior.
I can’t wait to get this next year but I still hate that they won’t offer AWD on the GT so I’ll just have to get a GT-Line. I refuse to drive a FWD where I live. Also too bad KIA abandoned the heartbeat DRLs those should’ve been the K5 signature
Doors for sedans are closing indeed.
When will the K5 facelift come to the Middle East market?
Hopefully soon, please check with your local dealership.
beautiful car.
The panel that switches between radio and heat controls is the biggest pain in the ass. My daughter’s new sportage has it and I absolutely hate driving it because of that. This option will make me pass on any vehicles equipped with it
Not the first time hearing that, hope Kia listens 🥲
I love it. It's much better then inside the entertainment system
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
😎🙌
Got my 24 GT in Sapphire blue but currently it is pollen yellow!! 🤧
I lowkey thought that was an actual color that we don’t get in Korea.
exterior is cool but i think the interior looked better on the previous model
What do you mean 2025, it’s 2024 and it’s here right? It’s a 2024 model
I'm getting one but not the face-lift, but the new redesign sport model.
Congrats! 🎉
Will these features be available in the USA
As usual, some may get watered down, but sure do hope so!
Only the rear heated seats and the side buttons to move the passenger seat forward won’t be included in the US
May I ask what color is this? It looks like black but also dark grey as well.
Interstellar Grey :)
@@CarSceneKorea Thank you, I really enjoyed your review.
watch the Us Market take away all the nice bells and whistles and still hike up the price
When is that going to stop 😭😭
Greetings from Toronto Ontario Canada I am looking forward to seeing this vehicle here too bad it doesn't offer a hybrid like it's twin hyundai sonata
Hello back Toronto, miss my time there 😓 Not many Koreans then, I heard it's quite different now :)
Canada isn’t getting the K5 anymore…
How much does it cost? It's beautiful ❤
It’s almost perfect just the steering wheel is looking kinda old. Bring us KIAs take on the 2024 Santa Fe’s beautiful steering wheel and I’m sold.
Not bad for a facelift :)
I personally do not like the driver-centric angled climate controls. My gf already hates the fact the Elantra has the passenger handle and she def. would not like her climate controls facing away from her 😂😂. I do find the facelift better than the Sonata's. The 2.5L g70 came into the states... maybe the rumors of Genesis making a hybrid GV70 might be something I will be interested in as well. So much to look forward to, I will probably give the K5 a spin once its arrives in the states though.
All valid points, the more choices we have, the better!
When the new sportage come out ?
It should be around the corner.
@@CarSceneKorea okay thank you, no date ?
Nothing atm.
@@CarSceneKorea thank you
Such a shame Kia Australia stopped selling Optima (K5) here... :((( Would've bought this car in an instant. But that's alright. I'll satisfy with Cerato (K4). Still amazing car.
There will always be a comeback with the right market demand :)
When is this car supposed to come to USA this 2025 model 😍
A few told me that it's not coming to the US no more, please check with your local dealership.
Which company shares display?
Not sure if I'm getting the question right, but all Hyundai & Kia cars get the same 12.3 in monitors.
Is the kia k5 also available in Europe?
It seems that this K5 Facelift is being offered to selected markets at the moment.
Does it have a head up display?
9:05
Didn't the 2025 go with the naturally aspirated 2.5 and then the GT has 2.5T
It did for selected markets, I was referring to domestic, Korean market models :)
I heard a rumor that Kia is bringing back the Stinger but its going to be an EV. Has anybody heard the same thing? I loved that car as it had a liftback. This K5 is really nice too although the trunk opening seems kinda small even if the overall trunk volume is large. Love the key fob too.
Yep, there will sure be an EV to inherit the Stinger legacy indeed.
Oh really?! Damn. Does this mean it'll cost in the mid 60K range? Since the gas powered is in the mid 50s
@@porfiriato84 hmmm, I wish it would be that price but EVs have historically been super expensive compared to its gasoline alternatives. My guess the price will be starting around mid 70s and could top off close to mid 90s which is sad but unless the cost of batteries drops significantly then pricing will be a challenge.
Haha that's just insane. Oh well @@blackbelt2000
It wouldn't make sense for it to cost about or more than an ev9 @@blackbelt2000
Will it come to India?
Most likely if you've been getting the car thus far.
Yes The K5 over The Sonata...they failed to put the BVM in the N-Line for America...No go
Why does the US get gypped on the features. No electronic shifter. No digital dash, no power lift trunk.
Kia USA better enter the chat! 😭
화이트에 스타일옵션 넣은k5좀 해주세요ㅠㅠ
기아 자동차와 협업하게 된다면 요청해서 꼭 리뷰해보고 싶습니다 ㅠㅠㅎ
Beautiful style but I'm not paying that money for a 1.6 l turbo😅 if I'm buying a car a midsize car I expect to have a midsize car engine like 2.5 l not 1.6 turbo the car is pretty and I like the accoutrements but I will not spend my hard-earned money for that
It seems that the US model has an actual shifter, which looks really cheap, compared to that luxurious looking round knob.
Even with the highest trim?
@@CarSceneKorea Yes... Even the K5 GT has a horrible plastic shift lever. I love the that circular dial that you guys have in Korean models.
we need that in Europe :(
They no longer have the 1.6 liter turbo engine in the American version…
While Korea never got the GT spec 😭
i don't get it why KIA and hyundai are not offering those K5 and sonatas to EU...
Market strategy some say 🥲
why do this car looks like a Opel Astra GSe 2023 ?
anything over hyundai
I mean, the K5 and Sonata are the same exact car, just different styling preferences
The drive is quite different, surprisingly :)

As long as it's not a theta engine, it should be okay,
I just brought a k5 its beautiful i just dont mike the way it sounds you hear the engine on the right side its lound
Different drive mode might help.
A porta da bagageira e muito pequena
Não é o maior, mas é um tamanho típico de sedã.
@@CarSceneKorea o meu alfa que e um sedan tem uma porta muito maior o que possibilita um mais facil acesso mesmo ao fundo do espaco.....o vidro traseiro e grande demais e muito inclinado e isso penalisa o facil acesso....temos que nos baixar em demasia.....que pena
Um porta-malas maior não faria mal, de fato.
디자인은 정말 너무 멋진데...멋진데....멋진데....크흠...
크흠 🫥
Most popular taxi car in Moscow😊
Oh, I didn’t know that. Are there other Hyundai Motor Group taxis in Russia aside from K5?
Машина красивая, надеюсь, параллельным импортом её завезут в Россию
Рад, что вам это нравится! Как корейские автомобили поживают в России?
@@CarSceneKorea нормально, пока старые модели ездят
I prefer the previous design.... the facelifted one is just too much.
However I love the interior. Not fancy or luxurious but it looks modern and clean.
Hyundai pe video kon bhanata hai
That front end is nasty 🤌
K series will ALWAYS be Honda.... thats not to say i dont like what kia and hyundai are doing they are making bangers
Dude what?! Lol you're comparing 2 totally different things.
Kia beat them by 1 year. It has been the kia k5 in Korea since 2000
Kia is the new age bmw, and hyundai is the new age Benz
Sounds like a compliment?
@CarSceneKorea what do u think about Honda Accord Inspire version vs. the USA accord 2024 ???
سلام میشه زیر نویس فارسشیم بزار لطفا😘😊
آینده :)
쏘나타를 이길수 없음. 일단 주행감각도 쏘나타가 고급지고 핸들링도 더 좋고 정숙하며. 오디오도 넘사수준
쏘나타 N-Line 정말 매력적이죠!
Dusri koi car hoti toh zyada views milte
मेरे पास चैनल पर कई अन्य कारें हैं :)
Already dropped it in Canada. U.S. is next. Sales are in the dumpster.
Lol. Did you even research the numbers before posting nonsense? The K5 is a top 5 seller for Kia my guy. Hating for no reason 🤡
Sonata n line is better in looks for adults and the k5 is for the ricer kids
Sedans are not interesting for me.I need a station car or a SUV.
