Best mid sized sedan for 2022
I purchased the K5 GT-line in December. My wife and I were initially going to purchase a 2022 Camry, but after stumbling across the K5 on google. The aesthetics of the car peaked my interest, although I was worried that such a good looking car was still a Kia at the end of the day. After a bit a research I was sold, and to be honest the change in the Kia logo was a major determining factor for me. I've put about almost 2000 miles on it, and so far it has been a real joy to drive. It's roomy interior was surprisingly quiet, and it reminded me of the CLA Mercedes quiet ride. I ready many reviews that unanimously pointed to a lack of power from the 180hp engine, but I'm hard pressed to find any issues in the power department. It doesn't hop off the line, but once the turbo spools up it wastes no time getting up to and passed 80mph. It's not a surge or power as in most turbo engines, but rather a very linear feeling increase in power, and the 190 foot pounds of torque keep it moving at a pretty good clip going up hill. As for the interior, the tech is amazing and more advanced than I expected. The giant touch screen is amazing and in upstate NY, the auto start feature is a God send. The exterior styling far exceeds any of its competitors, and frankly unless your buying a luxury sedan, you will not find a better looking mid sized sedan on the road. My only complaint, which isn't really a complaint, but I find the safety features have made me a less attentive driver than a I should be at times. It is very easy to trust the safety features, and rightfully so, but I would caution potential that the car can feel like it's driving itself at times. Overall, I would highly recommend this car to anyone looking for a mid sized sedan.

This Car Keeps Surprising Me!
I've had this car a little over a month now and I keep finding features that make me fall in love with it all over again! The UVO and remote start are great features to help cool the car before getting in on hot summer days. It's quiet, rides better than my Sportage did and feels upscale. I was leaning more towards the Sonata N-Line, but so glad I decided to check out the K5. Even though I only got the 1.6T, it has plenty of power. Best sedan on the road!

K5: Easy on the eyes, and a nice place to be.
Got the EX variant with all the fancy options on board. Exterior looks quite sharp; sporty vibe to it but also mature. Arguably the best looking sedan on the market (for us plebes anyway). The chrome strip that goes along the roofline over the doors and C-pillar is a head-scratching decision but that's the only demerit about it's styling that comes to mind. Aside from that Kia nailed it. Once inside, the interior's looks keep up. The "aluminum" and dark "wood" trim along the dash and doors give an upscale vibe, and the way the big screen molds to the instrument cluster give you the impression of being in a pricier, well thought out and appointed cabin. The screen is fast, responsive, and user-friendly. The Bose stereo has speakers everywhere and has great clarity and nice depth and range but you're not gonna think you have 12" subs in the back or anything. Adaptive cruise control works well. Lane-keep assist is good, will even handle mild/moderate curves with a little faith and some caution, but even on straight lanes can tend to get a little pinball-y on occasion; weaving left and right (but still inside) in the lane like it had a couple drinks. All the various warnings and cautions rarely ever give false positives so no worry of annoyances there. Plenty of spots to charge electronics, and it's nice the car reminds you your phone's still in the wireless charge slot when you open the door to get out. The fact you have to physically plug your phone in to a specific USB port under the center stack for Android auto or Apple carplay to work is kinda lame though. On the comfort side of things the K5 is pretty good. The driver's seat and surroundings is roomy, and all the buttons and screens are still easily reachable. The seat itself is nice and supportive; comfortable enough to not give you many complaints even on a longer road trip, but it's hard not to shake the feeling that the leatherette material isn't exactly premium, and the center arm rest is too firm for boney elbows. Upon close inspection you will find some cheaper plastics about, but Kia has mostly placed these below your typical line of sight and considering the MSRP, you can expect some cost cutting somewhere. The seating position feels high for a car but I guess that means SUV people won't feel as out of place. For the passengers, they'll be in good company. The back seats have a surprising amount of legroom and are raked back far enough to get your slouch on and chill. When it comes to driving dynamics it's above average but not mind-blowing. The cabin is well insulated from both wind and road noise and the engine sounds and vibration are dampened good too. The standard engine has enough power for your everyday needs and can handle both city and highway acceleration good enough to get you out of trouble or into position, but it ain't gonna throw you back in the seat or impress you. If you have cruise control on and go up a moderate grade, you'll drop a few mph initially until the power catches up. The automatic transmission does a pretty good job; shifts quick and doesn't have to hunt for the right gear, although if you suddenly decide to step on it you'll be waiting a bit for the power to show up, but once it gets the idea it keeps up with your inputs. The steering is light and responsive albeit a little numb in terms of giving feedback of what's going on under the wheels. Body roll is well controlled and the suspension handles bumps and dips decently to give a ride compliant enough to not notice too much and have little complaint from the driver most of the time, but sudden sharp and small bumps will come through just often and mildly enough to remind you this isn't exactly a luxury sedan. The suspension seems like Kia was attempting to set it up as sporty and plush at the same time while falling just short of both; jack-of-all-trades kinda scenario. But 99% of the time for 99% of use cases for 99% of people looking into buying a car like this these complaints aren't of much concern. The suspension and drivetrain as a whole is good, not great but pretty good. Avoid the autocross circuit and fire roads and just let the car do what it does best; take you to work, grab groceries, go on the occasional road trip and you'll be more than happy with the arrangement. All things considered this is a pretty sweet ride. Looks great, drives good, feels nice, and a fair price. Gotta say I am very happy with my purchase and look forward to putting on many miles and memories with it.

One bad a$$ car!!
I bought the 2022 K5GT with the GT1 package in Wolf Grey for my daughter. I couldn’t find one anywhere in my city as they sold as soon as they arrived. If found one on the showroom floor in Cincinati and told them I was on my way. I got there and absolutely fell in love with it. The lines of this car are beautiful! The tech in it match the impressive looks on the outside. The drive home was a fun drive and although I’m not really a “car guy” it really had me thinking of buying another for myself. Also, I was equally impressed with the comfort of the seats and spaciousness of the back seats and trunk area! Kia, with the K5GT hit it out of the park with this one! Now I understand why my daughter went nuts every time she saw one drive by while we were on the road!

This car is spacious! I went from a Sorento to the K5 and there is just as much, if not more passenger room. The K5 is sleek, handles very well, has amazing safety features, and is fun to drive! Several people have stopped me and asked what it is!

The Best Kept Secret
I couldn’t be happier with the K5. Even in the “Econo” mode it effortlessly cruises to 80 mph and handling beautifully to get there. Put it in “Sport” mode and it really roars to life. Kia doesn’t advertise the K5 which means it turns heads every time it cruise down the road. My mileage is 27 miles to the gallon on regular fuel. It really is a best kept secret.

One of the best cars I’ve driven.
Love this car, has all the bells and whistles. The only problem with this car, is it should be all-wheel drive. It has too much power for front-wheel drive and this car would change the game if KIA can out with a AWD K5 GT. I would buy that car in a heartbeat.

Alaska 2022 Kia5 LXS AWD
At first I didn't like it because of its size from a truck. Now a year later I love it. It doesn't have the UVO and its basic. I drive this on a daily basis of 120mi RT. its quiet, smooth, good headlamps. The only minor is I have short legs (5' tall) and the seat is very firm under my knees which causes numbness.

K5 Great Car
I got the K5 GT-Line car with a Sunroof around December 2021. It is now June of 2022. My car looks fabulous with the sports trim 18 inch wheels and I love my color of blue. The Rim's are awesome and 6 months later and I still love looking at this car. When I first got car I was disapointed in minor thing because these were things I had in other cars such as no light in the glove compartment, or lack of an alarm when backing up and you get too close to a curb, i didnt like the P zero Tires that ride great but are noisy as hell. As I grew into the car I just let that go. Now I really love the car. Although this is not the GT it's still a great car. Once again it's the GT-line. This car has a 1.6 turbo and I love it I still win races on the highway against a lot of other cars while going home from work It's very comfortable, It's got a Sunroof, I also feel that as the tires got older they did quite down quite a bit. I actually had to get a new tire due to hitting a curb and the noise level went up little so either I'll change the brand or wait for the P Zero's to quite down again. As far as the informant in the car the 10 inch display is beautiful. This car is equipted with it's own GPS, Satalight radio, The down side is after a year you need to pay to most of the features. there are other negatives also. When you try to speak to it to give it a command by voice while driving it has a very hard time understanding you. After a software update it got a tiny bit better but it's still bad. Another thing I didn't like the presets must go in numerical order. So lets say I want button 123 to have station 98 station 101 and station 100 it must be put in Station 98 Station 100 and station 101. As far as sound on the radio it's not the best but it got better with the software update I think ( or I just got used to it.) It came with the standard speakers. This car also has Android Auto and apple play which is nice. Since I'm an android guy I personally like the android auto gps is better than kia's supplied gps because it does understand me while driving and directions are easier to follow. but kia's Gps looks Better and the map shows the speed your traveling. On a positive side the cruise control is great if you get too close to a car it will break automaticly, as far as gas milage If you drive the car " corectly " meaning in 8th gear and at 60 to 70 miles per hours you can get about 490 to 500 miles on a tank ( i drive 500 miles a weak) But if you drive the way I like to gunning the turbo going 90 to a hundred ( in full control) you might pull in like 290 miles per tank, if you drive normal like 80 mph to 85 no gunning the turbo you can do like 320 to 350 on a full tank. City driving I'm not that sure i'm always on the highway but maybe you get 25 mpg. but if you barly touch the gas peddle i'm sure you can get more. Mostly what I like about all of this it is a fast car but you also get great gas milage that for me that is what I love. I'm sure the GT is much more thrilling but I need to be concerned about gas now also. As far as other driving features the car can steer it'self which is cool and the lane changing options are great, the sterring wheel feels great, I love the led lights on the car they are bright and the front has amber blinking lights which look cool and the back has decorative Led lights spread across the trunk. As I said this car is amazing. I love the remote start your car option I have. I use it during the summer because I got dark blue with black mostly leather and cloth seats in Florida. So when you get in the car it's hot. even with the tinted windows. So I love my remote start. I also love that the k-5 has is you can unlock your car by your phone and remote start it ( bypassing the keyfob) that is wonderful if you lock your keys in the house I can actually save a set in the car and feel Secure incase I forget my key in the house. The car I don't think will lock if you lock a key with a fob inside the car which is nice also. you will hear a long beep when trying to lock the door from outside if there is a key with a fob. Hey I'm spoiled but i'm not rich. I love this car is it perfect perfect? no. I'd like to have a few more things like that light in the glove department or a hydrolic trunk, cooled and heated seats memory seats- it's not the most absolute perfect car but for what it does have it's an AWESOME car. and yes the best car I've ever had. I don't need everything but I wouldn't mind having it either. It rides great, it's fast enough ( even for me) Looks wonderful, handles well, So yes I'd say this car is a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Constant rotor replacements - don't buy this car!!
I have complained to the dealer that the brakes are under sized for this car, since month 5, when they started replacing them. The front rotors started having to be replaced at 8,500 miles, then at 20,000 miles then at 33,800 miles. Rear rotors replaced at 20,000 also. I tried to get Kia Customer Care to acknowledge and help resolve this issue, but they would not. Next step lemon law.
K5 and Kia's SUCK
I mistakenly bought a 2022 Kia K5 recently. First we were told it had a garage door opener which it did not and a CD player which it didn't. After we paid cash for it these things came up. True it is partially our ignorance but it should of been brought to our attention. I can't even drive the damn thing because it is too complicated. I hate the car and I hardly drive it. Who knows how it will age. Stupid stupid stupid.
