My new K5

Have owned this car for three weeks - 700 miles. It is a nice solid riding car and handles nicely. Lots of extras on this model, the G-Line. An excellent value. My only real complaint is excessive road noise on some road surfaces. We live on a gravel road and there is lots of noise inside the car and the same if the paved roads are not glassy smooth. Very little wind noise. If the pavement is smooth this K5 is pleasant to drive. (I replaced the stock 18” wheels and Pirelli P-Zero tires with aftermarket 16” alloy wheels and Cooper Endeavor tires saving 12 lbs of unsprung weight for each set and ride improved and the noise reduced somewhat).

A 4 Door Sports Car

I’ve owned or leased many vehicles in my time and many, many sedans. Ford Taurus, Dodge Intrepid, Hyundai Sonata 2.0T, and now a 2024 Kia K5 GT. I’ve also owned a Jaguar XK convertible and have a BMW 230i convertible. I’ve had the K5 for a year now and put 10,000 miles on it and have enjoyed the heck out of it. This is basically a 4 door sports car with tons of room inside and a huge trunk. For long trips it’s phenomenal with a super quiet ride and awesome sound system. It’s quicker than the Jag and the Beemer and handles better too. I’ve driven several long distance trips from my home in South Florida to Massachusetts, Virginia and other eastern states. Gas mileage at highway speeds, well over the limit, recorded 36+ mpg and when I backed off to 5 to 7 over it was pushing 40 mpg. I’m an engineer and a car guy. For a sedan to have this kind performance is really impressive. And the car looks great. I ended up with Wolf Gray thinking it would be less popular, I like to be different, but, it turns out there’s a lot these out there in that color. Definitely shop around if you’re in the market for a sedan, but if you want above average performance, gas mileage, roominess, trunk space, comfort and cool electronics, and an outright stunning look, you have to check this car out.

I bought a brand new 2024 Kia K5 Gt the day after Christmas. In less than a month and a half with 880 miles alle the light went on and there was no power. Not sure what happened. I turned it off then back on, power was back but check engine light satyed on. Took to dealership and they told me make an appointment. I did but in the days following the car reset and light went off. It did it again about 2 weeks later and again before I could go in check engine light went off. Dealer said take it in as soon as it cone on next time. Been sitting here for 2 hours while they tinker with the car and no idea what it is.

I previously had a 2015 Optima LX and upgrading to this fully loaded performance model was an excellent decision. Car turns many heads. It’s just visually pleasing to look at like an amazing painting. Had to get tints to avoid the constant looks. Comes with a nice 360 camera that is probably the most useful tool in my opinion to help park in those tight spots and I feel that alone is worth the cost. In addition, this car is FAST. I really didn’t expect too much but the 2.5T coupled with a DCT really blew my mind and had me grinning from ear to ear. If you’re irresponsible with your driving, you can really propel yourself into copious amounts of trouble. However, the car does a great job at correcting its position while on the road while giving you advanced warnings of incoming cars. The car also has a neat emergency braking feature that also responds to pedestrians. Car is amazing on highway. You can go 70-85 MPH and won’t even feel it. Has a Bose audio system however it’s not exactly amazing. The sound is crisp and clear however, the audio system lacks a substantial amount of bass that I feel could be easily resolved by adding a small subwoofer. Bottom line, if you’re looking for a fast car that also has stunning looks, many advanced safety features, great interior, and all at a for an AFFORDABLE rate, I highly recommend the K5 GT. Yes it’s a KIA but KIA now makes amazing cars and combined with their warranty, makes it worth a try. This car is not “just a KIA” any longer I assure you. Side note, I cannot speak for the lower trims in regards to performance, however I hear both the GT and GT-line are virtually the same with the exterior with the exception of a few details such as the true dual exhaust and the standard GT rims, and larger brakes. I’d also like to mention a few cons, Interior looks great for its class (you’re buying a KIA not a Mercedes) comes with Synthetic leather (not a con imo) however the con lies in the lack of available color options for the GT. And for the flagship model, I would expect the red leather seat option but that wasn’t available. Another con would be the lack of AWD for this model. The GT line has it available but not the GT. I’d also say lack of an Limited Slip Differential causes this car to be unable to put its full potential power down as it causes a lot of torque steer whenever you launch the car or accelerate violently from a lower gear. This in turn almost always causes a lot of tire spin as the car just is unable to put the power down initially. Bose audio system while producing great sound, lacks bass. Apple CarPlay is WIRED only and cannot be used wirelessly if you have navigation apparently. You would think someone could figure that out by now. But that’s neither here nor there. In the end, this is an overall great car that many will find to be enjoyable.
