I only had the car 1 month but drove it to Florida (all around) and back and put on 3,500 miles. My car is a GT-Line, Wolf Grey with the Red interior, Bose speakers etc. The car is a real pleasure to drive. Very Quiet on the road, and my mileage exceeded the 37 mpg epa rating, and that’s while maintaining speeds of 80 mph with 2 people and fully loaded with luggage. Little if any wind noise. Note that at times I hit much higher speeds not knowing since it was so quiet & smooth. The engine RPM was mostly between 2 to 2.1 at 80mph. The power of the 2.5 liter is good, and slightly better than the 2019 Camry I had, which was a very good car as well. The Bose system sounded great, and all the alert sensors and some other sensors like keeping your car steering between the lines worked very well, but I preferred to turn that off most of the time. If you turn on your turning signals to changing lanes, and a car is present, not only does your side mirrors alert you, but you’ll get sound notices and the steering wheel will vibrate. Triple redundancy. The handling is very good, and secure, brakes are excellent and has a very good feel to them. A very important note is, I appreciate that the 2.5 engine has both Direct & Port Injectors on each cylinder. Port injectors will help cleaned the valves and clear any carbon build up. This is the same arrangement my Camry 2019 had which greatly reduces or eliminates carbon buildup in these Direct Inject Engines. The Nav system worked flawlessly and quickly. I also love you can remotely start your car with the key FOB (No additional charge) or with Kia Connect though Kia connect is only free the 1st 3 years. Also, happily, it doesn’t have the stop & start engine control which can cause more wear on your starter motor with little gain on MPG. The seats are very comfortable as I can attest driving 12 hours straight on my first stop. The car’s 8 spd auto shifted smoothly in all conditions. Plenty of room inside. Lot of storage in the console area for incidentals and drinks. I enjoyed the Panoramic roof. The negative was the Combine toggle Climate & Media control is a bit counter intuitive and sometimes causes more effort to control. Trunk space is good, as I had lots of luggage. The car feels solid & hopefully reliable down the line. The only other negative which is because I do my own oil changes etc, is this car takes a Cartridge oil filter (Not spin on) and takes 6.1 quarts of oil, (Not 5 qts) but I knew this well before I bought it but it’s location and design is good. So it’s not a real big deal, but this will cost a little more for oil changes. Recommended oil chg is 7,500 but I’ll be doing it every 5 to 6K for sure. BTW recommended oil is 0 -30W. Based on my limited time but very heavy usage I highly recommend this car, and I really enjoy driving it. Very sporty looking.

I bought my car only 4 weeks ago. I traded in my 2019 Camry SE that I really liked, and had no problems. I read a lot about the K5 and was impressed enough to look at it. The test ride was perfect, and it looked sharped and drove smooth & quiet . Very insulated ride. I believe the windows are special to deaden noise. I then drove it to Florida and back, about 3,500 miles. My intially impession. Very quiet and smooth ride. Very well balanced handling and driving. Many features. I got the Wolf Grey with the Red syn Seats. I was really impressed with the quietness of the car, I was mostly going 80 mph, and virtually no wind noise, and I was getting around 37- 38.5 mpg on average (checking per each fill up) surpassing the EPA estimate and this is with two people and lot of luggage etc. I found the seats very comfortable, and the Bose stereo was really great. Nice to have the panoramic roof, to let more light in when needed. Excellent room inside, and loaded with alot of nice features. The only thing negative thing I would say is it combined heating & media controls which shares the same screen based on a screen press toggle. That took somewhat time to get use to etc. The Nav system was dead on and very timely in instructions. ride was very balanced. Decent room for luggage and the trunk arms have their own insert sleeving so your luggage won't get ruined once shut. I know these cars don't have the resale value of the Camry, but they do have a very good rating for durability from what I read. BTW, the engine uses the same setup as my Camry with 2 injectors per cylinder. One for port injection the second for Direct injection. It's no secret as to why since Direct inject engine have a problem with carbon build up after 40K miles. This greatly reduces that problem, hence why Toyota and I think Ford went that route. Only time will tell, but after hard driving for long hours, it was excellent!!!

Ride and quietness are outstanding. Info screens are unbelievably complete, but not as intuitive as I would like - takes some time to understand.

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).
