Super easy and inexpensive to maintain. Comes with a 10 year/100,000 mile warranty. Also one of the best looking sedans on the road.

    There's no point in picking the Sonata N-Line over this anymore. It used to be that the Sonata was slightly cheaper and had a factory summer tire option but was missing tech features.
    Now, the price gap between the two is much smaller, the Sonata lost its factory summer tire option, and there are FEWER tech features in it now. Meanwhile the K5 GT is updated and better than ever.

    And that long chrome strip that wraps around the car harkens back to the 2011 Kia Optima (K5) when it first came out and launched a new styling direction for Kia. Now almost all of Kia’s sedans since then, including the Stinger, use that chrome window styling cue in some way. Always loved that generation of Optima!

    Rati with the upload I’ve been looking for over youtube! I wish they didn’t add the bottom DRL line to the headlights because now you’re at risk for shattering your headlight for a small bump…but then again if they chopped that part off, it’ll look too close to a urus DRL light.

    remember those HP numbers are rated for 87 octane and the engine can take 91 without any tuning giving a lil bit higher numbers not crazy but it definitely makes the car sound a little more aggressive and the turbo noises are noticeable, I've put around 10k miles on a 2024 GT and its been nothing but great

    One thing that I thought was really cool about the K5 GT was how it offers the premium features from the EX trim as an optional package. You don’t get that with the sonata N-line. Unfortunately you still have to get a Kia so…

    I'm with you on the "nuggs" comment. Social media has ruined us and made us lazy. With the demise of the Stinger, I'm disappointed that they didn't make an AWD version of the K5 like they originally promised. The prevailing opinion was that they didn't want it to compete with the Stinger GT Line, but now that it's gone there is no excuse. I've had my fill of higher power FWD cars, and even with an LSD, they're not for me. I'm still holding out and hope that they'll eventually release an AWD version of the K5 GT. Otherwise, it's off my list, and I'm relegated to a used Stinger.

I rented a premium from Enterprise once expecting to get something like a Maxima and ended up getting a 2022 Audi S4 Quattro needless to say I had fun. But I like the new design on the Kia K5 and Hyundai Sonata's, I wish Hyundai would have kept the Veloster around though.

It would be nice if they added a cctv option to use the cameras while driving as well.
