I actually owned both of these. I had the K5 GT, which comes with the chrome quad exhaust and the 290 hp turbo 4 cylinder. I just bought the accourd touring 2 days ago. I want to point out that the gentleman in this video incorrectly states that the GT line (which is a trim level below the GT) comes with 290 hp. It doesn't. It also doesnt come with the quad exhaust, rather the fake exhaust tips you see on every other kia teim except the GT. The car he is visually reviewing is the GT, which also btw does not come in awd, to me only 1 of 2 drawbacks to the GT model. The second being that if you have it in sport plus mode, you WILL spin your front wheels if you give basically any gas. Overall, loved thebcar, was fun as hell to drive (GT), and the interior with the camel color was amazing, although the seats hadba defect in it ansld lost support randomly in the lumbar sometimes.
Gotna new job which requires a ton of traveling, so i opted, relunctantly, to part ways with the GT and traded for the accord touring hybrid. While it lacks the punch and pizzaz of the GT, it is smooooooth. Clearly it wont win in a drag race, but i dont need it to. The sound system in the touring accord is better, comes with ventilated seats, rear heated seats, and a heads up display, something the GT does not have.
All in all, inwould say the Accord gets the edge in tech, cabin features, and gas mileage, whereas the GTbis just plain fun to drive. Cant go wrong with either.
Sorry for the long post, but i felt compelled seeing ive owned a 2023 model of both top of the line models.
This is actually helpful. Thanks
I agree spot on with you. I researched this stuff for months looking at all the brands to include comfort styling gas milage and above all else dependability! Every time I was pushed back to the Accord sport L.
I say they're about even in the features department. While you don't get a hud or digital gauge cluster in the k5, you get a panoramic moonroof, power-folding side view mirrors, heated steering wheel and better driver's assistance functions. When I comes to sound systems, I'm wondering if you had the base system in the GT and not the GT1 package. I find both Bose systems to be equally underwhelming but at that point I'm just splitting hairs. ( Although I do think the K5 has superior speaker locations though)
I love your take on the Kia way more than his I own a Kia K5 I wish I would have done my homework before driving it off the lot I love my car but I don't have 290 horsepower I have the GT line
Have a 23 K5 GT and couldn't be happier with it
If you buying for a long period of time - Honda. Kia is still having problems with engines (in a long-term) and re-sell capabilities. But I agree, Kia's designs are realy-really good nowadays.
So far with these engines in the k5, there haven’t been any issues. Let’s hope it stays that way!
Rule #1 of life: Never buy a Hyundai/Kia.
My mom had a 2016 Kia Optima and the engine caught fire on the highway driving to p.a from nyc and they told her it was her they couldn’t pay cuz it was to much damage to determine where the fire started even tho that engine was recalled and they gave it back to her a few weeks before saying it was fine
Your mother bought one of those Theta 2 engines. The new K5 doesn't have those engines.
I had 1 acura and 3 hondas. great cars accept transmission sucked.
For some reason the front of the K5 reminds me of the 8 gen Mitsubishi Galant and I like it
as a k5 owner lol with aftermarket mods if you check my shorts, it definitely looks ridiculously amazing with aftermarket mods on it. the new accord looks so awful, nothing about it looks pleasing aesthetic wise besides the interior. i feel as if they took a step down from their previous gen, which was very good looking
As a long distance commute company car, accord is for sure.
But I want K5 more than accord. That looks crazy.
K5 has such an imposing front end, instantly recognizable in public with those Amber LEDs
It looks to me like the K5 was designed and thought about it instead of just put/take out things on/from it, you gotta remember that this is a sucesor of the optima which had that chrome thing in the C pillar as well, this time was just better designed and integrated, aside from its weaknesses in certain details, the Kia seems to me like a designed car, I look at it and I don’t think it was over styled in purpose but more like if they actually wanted it to look like that, I’m the other hand Honda had a beautiful Accord that they could’ve improved and they just took the best parts from it, it’s the K5 for me.
Kia for sure. It actually looks like the designer was confident in his work and made something that stands out. I love that the front almost looks like a muscle car, although I do agree Accords rear looks better.. Honda on the other hand looks like just another boring skoda, renault, mazda sedan with no personality whatsoever.
But doesn't everyone love Mazda design? And the accord definitely going for an executive look rather than sporty. Something like a 530i or a7, it's more on the European side than Asian for honda line-up strong good-looking cars.
The Accord looks elegant and clean but there is no way you said it looked like Renault, Skoda or Mazda...
All of them look completely different
i agree they are boring
I agree but not for Mazda sedans. They have a very strong personality
My dad’s Kia Optima was taken by the dealership to be “upgraded” in freaking December. We haven’t seen it since, and we’re all so sick in my household we don’t really care honestly.
This is some big fat bullcrap, though. Our vehicles damage the environment, and we get taxed out the butthole for them doing that but corporations do the most damage and they don’t pay hardly anything for the damage they’re causing!! And then we get taxed out the butthole again for damages that their corporate vehicles do to our roads and to our freaking citizens!! Have you seen what their semi-trucks have done to some places? And to some people? 😬😂 brutal!
I like old school sedans, if it was up to me I'd go with the Honda
I just bought a 2023 Kia K5 GT and couldn't be happier. It really is a beautiful looking car. I love that I don't see many GT's on the road.
That’s because it’s a Kia
I kind of like the Kia but hate the chrome that runs through the C pillar.
I also like the back to basics feel of the accord too though. Love the interior in the Accord as well.
I've been saying for years Kia Hyundai use poor cheap wire harnesses which turn into electrical problems on the vehicles & now fires, I had a 16 Sorento what a nightmare almost everything broke electrical issues up the a** battery continually dying, moon roof wouldn't close just a disaster, they entice with the designs of the car but reliability eventually catches up to you... I remember Hyundai back in the 80s Pony Stellar were also disasters.
@@business-us1zl You're talking about something that has nothing to do with a Kia K5...
What? The chrome is one of my favorite parts about my K5 lol specially with the right fitment and silver wheels
The kia k5 sure looks good and young. The Honda Accord is a car suitable for a grandfather.
Kia definitely wins, especially in the exterior design department
Bembli, I doubt you'll see this but Formula 1 teams have been releasing their liveries for the new season. Just as an idea, could you review the aesthetic design of the cars? I know a lot of the design has to do with aerodynamics but it would still be cool to hear what you think of the designs of the cars 🙂
What is the K5 you show in the video? I have NEVER seen ambient lighting in a k5, not even in a gt
I definitely agree on the taillights of the KIA. The back is a little messy but I still will skip that Accord no matter what!
KIA BOIZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Accord feels more like it's geared towards older ppl
I see where you're coming from. It's looks less sportier.
Though I disagree. Honda went with the sleek, modern, simplistic yet elegant route and I feel and see that. I really like it and I'm 30 years old and I have a feeling I'm not the only one in my age group who feels that way
@@juansantamaria7476I’m 27 and I totally love the design of the new Accord, as much as the 10th gen’s. I didn’t own a 10th gen, but I do own an 11th gen Touring!
they call it a cvt, but its really just 2 electric motors with direct drive and simulated gear shifts on the touring accord, the base is a regular cvt
The Accord Hybrid doesn’t have a CVT. It feels totally different. It’s just a smooth direct drive setup with an electric motor powering the car forward in below highway speeds. It’s a very desirable feeling, and much better than a CVT
I was interested in the accord… but I’ll be sticking with the k5. This new accord is laughable. How do they not have a panameric sunroof? Lmaooo
K5 easily the better car
There isn't a sedan under $53K that looks better than the Stinger. K5 has a lot of carry over especially in the silhouette (though it's longer). Kia know what they're doing with sedans so far. Shame the Stinger is leaving us but hopefully the EV5 will be close on its tail. The Forte is also one of if not the last in the class due for a full redesign sometime very soon and I hope they blow our minds with the possibilities. The entire class looks pretty lack luster today despite all of them being brand new or less than 2 years old.
Stinger is discontinued.
@@kirkvanvranken3560 yeah I wrote that in my comment?
Genesis G70 looks amazing, I own a 2022 brembo brakes 3.3t V6
53k for the G70
The accord will be a more timeless design and the car itself will likely last longer too, so that’s my pick. I also like that the rear three quarter looks like a Japanese A7… Audi A7 (first gen) is one of my favorite sedan designs, so that’s a big win for me!
public announcement for hyundai KIA genesis owner.
Jan. 31, 2023-Two of America's largest insurance providers, Progressive and State Farm, refuse to cover older Hyundai and Kia models. According to reports, the insurers say that some models of these two auto brands are too easy to steal in certain cities.9
The new Accord looks like an old mans car. Il take a more youthful looking car. I still don't trust Kia so id probably go for a Camry xse though.
@@asdewq9683 Genesis.. and what does this have to do with a current kia? that's for 2019 and under without push to start..
@@theofficialquent3488 KIABOISZ!!
@@asdewq9683 K5 has push to start standard..
The K5 is due to recieve a heavy facelift this year. Ive seen the spy shots. It might just become the best looking mass market midsize sedan(again).
Where have you seen the spy shots?
Edit: I saw the one that shows the rear, but there's nothing on the front end yet. Hoping it looks good
I didn't see any new K5 apy shots, but I saw the Sonata spy shots on Carscoops.
The k5 is just now in its 3rd year. Not due for a heavy REDO.
@@johnfranklin5277 The facelift is confirmed. coming out this year.
@@Chr1sT0fu if true, im glad I already have my K5 GT LINE with premium package. Wouldn't want any changes to an already great front.
Ok. What about road noise? Honda is notorious for loud road noise. How's that on the K5?
Did you drive them?
If I had to lease one of them.. which is a better choice when it comes to the tech and driving assists? I don’t care much about the exterior design. Though I like the simplicity of the accord. I just want to know what’s better value cause I will be leasing it. Please help !
I have always been a Honda guy, but the K5 will have a lot more features and tech, no doubt. Leasing, I would go with the K5, personally.
Honda I drove the k5 and Honda and Honda drives much better feels more luxurious and the way picks up speed is way to quick and drives much smooth definitely Honda drive the k5 first and Honda next you see the difference 👌
Man, thats K5 all day.
I love the aggressive, strong flowing lines
as well as the unique headlights and taillight designs. And the aftermarket support for the K5 just makes it better. While the Accord has dialed back its styling a little too much
BBS LMs on that accord would look even better
RIP K5. Great looking sedan.
I would buy the Accord despite loving the design of the K5 more.
The engine blew on my 201９ Kia Sorrento I got it back a week ago
@@Brand-ic9yc Your comment isn't that relevant to my initial statement about two completely different cars. You should start your own thread about whatever.
@@brokeboy87 okay, calm down
I'm currently in a dispute with Kia. The audacity they have, to tell me the problem is due to lack of maintenance, is disgusting.
@@personal8580 You should tell Scotty kilmer all about it. You and other people in the comments section can have a field day on everything wrong with Kia.
In South Africa Kia is like the LG and Hyundais are Samsung, bad analogy, but Kia makes some really good looking cars but sadly they are not as heavily invested as Hyundai, especially here in our shores. In fact they have pulled out some of their models that I think would be great (example: we don't get those excellent Kia Stingers anymore and they are planning on pulling out their Kia Rio models later this year, 2023...). Similarly LG, as opposed to Samsung is dead and gone... Maybe that's not yet the case for Kia, but here in South Africa it is starting to feel that way. But the current K5 (I think we had it here under the moniker Kia Optima) is something that I think would make the German carmakers shaking in their boots, because it looks good and it has the performance to boot.
I so so so want the K5 as a cool wagon hybrid in Europe. Pleeeeease
Plz do the video on 2018 camry xse v6 !!
Not the mid cycle refresh 2021 Camry
Considered both. I bought Corolla Cross instead.
I agree with the A$$ of the Kia.
It looks much different in person. I don’t see many on the road but I did see one the other day and it’s very different looking in person.
I would just go for stinger gt if I had money
Stinger is all done
Make videos about current Peugeot design
Nah I disagree with the K5’s rear, It’s very unique and think it looks sporty and overall phenomenal
Agreed!
It sure looks good going down the road at night. Very distinct, I can tell what car it is on the freeway from way back in the pack.
SO you keep speaking about the AWD but it only comes in one trim and doesn't come with the GT trim
You can’t get the Kia GT high output in AWD?!
Not yet, but ive heard chatter that the facelifted 2024 model year will bring AWD to the top trim.
100% agree
Why are you showing the K5 with the old Kia logo?
The Kia K5 looks like what a Mitsubishi Galant should have looked like if it had a bigger development budget
Reliability=Toyota
Driving capability(except power)=Honda
Design and features=Kia
The would disagree with the taillights.. but both cars are nice
Accord is a hybrid!!!
Kia looks better
I want a KN K9
Make K5 redesign as mid engine
Honda makes decent cars (my Civic LX was WAY underpowered), but agree, it's K5 for me for the same reasons.
KIA make great cars,
for KIABOY to steal
Kia
The K5 has me absolutely livid with no digital dash
You cannot get all-wheel drive with the 290 horsepower engine. Only with the base engine.
In terms of the design, K8 - Digital, Futuristic Vs Accord - Analog, old fashioned
Hi
Wow, so many things wrong in this video you should probably redo it and do more research first.
Kia K5 GT-Line: 1.6L turbo 180 hp, AWD option, fake exhaust trim
Kia K5 GT: 2.5L turbo 290 hp, FWD only, quad exhaust tips
That said, I do agree the K5 is a better looking car and our family bought a GT-Line over the Accord. Even with less power, I think the one you want is the K5 GT-Line AWD.
I never thought I'd say this, but Kia k5 is better in every single way.
Have you checked and drove them in person if not make sure do that
My pick is the k5 all the way (unless you want a hybrid, there is no reason to buy the accord)
Honda for sure 👌 ✅️ looks much better in person sporty with luxuries look top notch love mine ❤️
What trim did you get, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m considering the EX.
@@sherrikwhiteside6107 ex I drove both k5 and accord definitely accord for sure feels like it glides on the road just a beautifull car, if you get the ex make sure it has a BSI some don't have it
Personally I don’t like the k5s styling I think the stinger looks better
GT LINE DOESN'T COME WITH 290 HP
A sporty car that's AWD and 180 HP is pretty solid...Honda is the best technical long lasting vehicle but kia is coming up the charts and is top 7 of all brands.
Well we all know why the warranties are different
The honda with that HORRIBLE CVT and 1.5T needs the warranty
Is Kia better with reliability ? Because regardless of anything else, if the car is going to break down then ... Honda all the way
Let me remind you Honda removed the 2.0T, that was the one accord engine that didn't have issues, they now use the problematic CVT 1.5T on all trims, the Kia's automatic 2.5T will hold up better, honda has always had issues with the 1.5T, kia hasn't had any issues out of the 2.5T because it's new for Kia lineup.. so Kia>
@@theofficialquent3488 You are mistaken. The 1.5 Turbo is only on the lowest two trim levels for 2023. All the others use the naturally aspirated 2.0 hybrid.
@@stevehoppenjan Still a CVT with 200 hp for 39k
Hondas 1.5 l turbo is a ticking time bomb. They use WEAK HEAD BOLTS, that stretch, allowing the head to start lifting causing head gasket failures. Seems to happen at about 45.000 to 60.000 miles. Google it. Unfortunately, this is not uncommon.
@@theofficialquent3488with a reliable 45 mpg. If you want hp, go get you a mustang GR or a hellcat
I would rather wait for the new Toyota Camry instead 😊😊😊
The problem around here with the KIA is you will die of old age before you get the car because the wait times are so long. The Hondas seem to be much easier to get.
You can't get AWD with the 290hp GT
Honda is much more elegant and sophisticated.
I think the new Accord looks so much better
The Kia is a IVT and Honda is a CVT. I'm going for the Kia.
It’s too bad…I’ve been a Honda owner over the years…seems like Honda has rested on there reputation…Kia and Hyundai have been catching up for sometime now…and I believe they eclipsed Honda..I still think Honda is slightly more reliable but…the Korean motor companies have done there homework
K5
Get that kia. Paint will peel, transmission will slip before 50k miles.
Kia looks 5 years newer than accord
that honda looks outdated
Comparision honda to kia is like compare racing horse to skinny mare. Is not that same class.
Modern cars all look the same. Imo, pre 80s cars are the best.
You ‘ll forgive me for choosing the one that is harder to steal and less prone to spontaneously combusting.
Which is that?
@@dujeanhickling61 the Honda.
Honda all the way. The Kia is alright, and has a nicer rear, but the Honda is gonna drive better (chassis etc), has a less busy/classier design overall, and more resale value...
Honda wanna be kia so bad nevertheless same thing happened in 2011 with sonata
k5 ftw
Most definitely the K5, it’s defining characteristics and bold looks make it unique on the road. It’s gives off a powerful stance from its amber lights and sport-like design. I’m definitely looking forward to what they do with this car in the near future considering the Kia Stinger is being discontinued, and hopefully implement some features they put in their Canadian model over to the American one.
Honda didn't redesign the Accord, they 'de-styled' it. As an ardent Honda fan (and 10th Gen Accord owner), I'm looking at you, Kia, and the k5 GT. Sorry Honda, you lost me.
I’ll be damn if I buy Kia over Honda.
That's what I always said until I finally did. I actually love my Kia and I've been a Honda owner for 20+ years
looking at the sales of both, nobody really wants a newer honda, I don't blame them.
That's what I said too, not about Honda but about GM. Been a GM owner my entire adult life, until the Kia Stinger came out. Now a own a 2020 awd gt. Best car I've ever owned. Been nothing but reliable. The awd is amazing in the ❄️ here in MN. I also like the fact that the car is a bit of a 🦄 . Don't see em around much. People love how it looks on top of that, they don't really know what it is.
Honda Accord is comparable to Kia K7, both of them are large saloons. K5 is midsize car, even with its ugly overhangs.
That flip in the editing is cheesy.
Just so everyone knows they sold 37,000 k5’s in 2023 and 117,000 accords… just to put it in perspective. I test drove a k5 with a friend right after I bought my 2024 accord they are crappy…… horrible build quality and driving experience compared to the accord. Not to mention the gage cluster in the k5 looks like a 2018 Kia Rio gage cluster unless you get a high end model.
What trim level Accord did you get? I’m interested in the EX, but I may go for a Sport Hybrid.
Honda is going the wrong direction. Making cars bigger doesn't translate to better fuel economy. The change in engine and retaining the size of the car translates to higher efficiency. If you want it bigger, opt to a CUV or SUV but most of the time, people who buy cars like this Accord don't use the second row seats. Plus, Honda could have designed this better. It's totally bland, generic or basic looking. I'll take the Nissan Altima with VC turbo engine anytime. You'll definitely get more for your money.
Imagine buying a Kia and living with eternal regret.
Imagine buying a boring slow Honda and wishing you bought the much better Kia
Friend has a 2012 Sonata that caught on fire while her mechanic was driving it after a maintenance schedule.
@@RRLV434 Good one. Try again.
Ive got two. One is 8 years old with 170K miles on it and the other is brand new. Dont regret either.
The Accord looks like an old mans car now. I don't trust Kia and Hyundai so I hope Toyota doesn't ruin the Camry redesign otherwise I may have to go for a luxury brand.
Comparing a KIA😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 to a HONDA?! You surely smoking some bad s## man.
That's like comparing a ssangyong to a rolls.
I respectfully disagree with your styling analysis. Yes, the Honda does have a more harmonious look and a cleaner design, but it is BORING! I was stunned when I first saw it and I think Honda has dropped the ball with this, the HRV and others in their line. This was a non-starter for me as I recently purchased a K5 GT Line AWD (which, like you, I need for our local climate). The other decider was the 8SP automatic vs. the droan of a CVT. The value proposition and sporty agressive look made this an easy choice. Look at the comparison photo to displayed. The honda screams 90's Buick while the KIA says "let's go!"
The KIA K5 looks so much better than the new Honda accord. But I know the Honda is more reliable to me
That accord look boring 😂. Kia k5 wins for me🏆
It's a big embarrassing moment for Accord history to choose Kia Honda I feel that they doesn't like to pay Money to bring Honda to another level there level is the same maybe is going less while other cars are improving
,the Honda is ugly especially the rear end
K5 looks the same
Who wants to be basic when you can be great?? I read a report where it said people were paying $1,000+ a month for Accords 😯😯😯
Lord why???
where did you see that?
you (and perhaps only you) like the "classic" bland look......... if you hide the badge of these cars and show them to the public, 95% would chose the K5, because the Accord looks DULL, BORING, and not like 2023 car AT ALL. the K5 is doing a better uplift this October, and the Accord will look even more outdated..... Hondas are good cars, BUT (a big but) they are inexistent in Europe (the most competitive car market of the world)
