After driving the car for 145,000 miles I've finally decided to trade it. It's been an amazing car a definitely worth ever penny I paid.

Great Car

2022 Kia K5 EX 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

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!

GT-Line is what i want

I purchase the vehicle 3 days ago, i searched about it a lot, i got the GT-Line with Wolf Gray and Red Interior which is rare and hard to find. Gas/mileage is impressive and the vehicle is so good. Everyone is looking at me. People always asking what car it is and if there was no KIA logo nobody gonna know, someone asked me if its a dodge challenger or something, people always try to race with me but naa its a 1.6 vehicle and i wont race with someone, material is nice, drive is smooth, smart cruise is great. If they dont do a better 2024 model, ill keep this car as long as possible and take care it well, im sadly watching my mileage goes up but i love everything about the car.

Bad build

I ordered a 2023 K5 GT 4 months ago and finally was able to pick it up. Not sure if they let someone test drive my car or what, but it say has 12 miles on it upon my picking it up. When I drive it off the lot, I noticed that the passenger rear suspension was creaking even when not going over bumps. I let the dealership know and they claim it could be from sitting. 500 miles later and it’s gotten worse and no repair date till after November. Being a brand new car should mean they should be able to get looked at right away I feel. When they built this car they should have checked to make sure that nothing was wrong. I feel as though this car is going to be in and out of the shop again, just like my 2018 optima EX

Upgraded From Elantra Limited to K5 GT-Line AWD

There is an optional premium package I wish I purchased but overall I love this car. It’s a lot of car for the money and hasn’t let me down yet.

The Best Kept Secret

Speed Racer K5, 02/23/2022
2022 Kia K5 LX 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
6 of 7 people found this review helpful

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.

We bought our2023 k5 GT line a few weeks ago..in Sapphire Blue...still learning about all of the bells and whistles..this car is smooth..no road noise at all..we will do a few upgrades as time goes along, but right now we couldn't be happier..the heated seats are a plus..wish it had rear wipers..small inconvenience really..We highly recommend this car..you won't be sorry

Love my K5! It's so elegant and comfortable at the same time. It's our second Kia sedan and I'm super happy with the new features. Plenty of space in the back seats and trunk.

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.
