2025 Kia K5 GT-Line 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 8A)
5 of 8 people found this review helpful
We own a 25' Kia K5 GT-LINE and it's one of the most uncomfortable vehicles I've ever been in! The seats are not supportive and your butt will be aching after being in those seats for more than 1hour! The vents on the dash are too low and the driver side vent is blocked by the steering wheel. The touch screen is confusing and not user friendly. The gas pedal functions are laggy and is anchored to the floor which makes using it odd. This car has 700 miles on and we haven't even made our 1st payment but I'm already making plans to get rid of it ASAP. Car has a lot of shinny hard plastics in it. Cup holders are about useless except for a 12oz can. I thought we'd give KIA a chance but being totally unhappy with this car we won't be coming back to them.

I like it, but not too much

2025 Kia K5 GT-Line 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl 8A)

This review is for the FWD version. I like the way it drives. Smooth and quiet cabin with nice acceleration with the 2.5L normally aspirated. Good gas mileage, getting like 40 mpg at 65 on the highway. When I test drove the AWD it felt heavier and nosier. Things that I don't like: #1: the control of the climate is horrible. It is mostly touch with the controls shared with the radio. This means that if you reach for the volume knob without watching, you may be changing the temperature. Even if you have it in radio mode, when you reach for the volume you may be accidentally touching the touch sensor next to the knob and again changing the temperature. Also, when you turn off the climate, you actually get hot air coming out of the vents, unless you also put it in recirculate. #2: the dashboard looks like a screen, but the actual graphic portion is a small 4.2" in the middle. The speedometer and tachometer are digital (numeric) only, with no possibility of showing actual gages. I think this is a step back from older models. #3: this is a personal opinion, but I think that the 2024 front and back lights with their simpler and cleaner design looked better. #4: the Bose premium audio was a bit of a disappointment. It is good, but not great. It does not sound as good as what you get with a base audio system in an Audi Q5. I don't know how it compares to the basic audio in the K5. Overall I'm happy with the purchase but there are some details that could have made the experience much better

I have only had the car about 3 weeks and 1000 miles. Everything works perfectly and it is very smooth and quiet. Why spend more. They don't get any better. Update: It has been 6 months and 5500 miles now and still perfect.

Had this car for two days and have had more positive comments on its looks than any other car I’ve owned( and I’ve owned close to 45 cars in my life) That being said it also drives like a much more expensive sedan. The Bose 12 speaker sound system is AWESOME. I’m a senior citizen and this car has brought back the joy of driving. The Turbo is exhilarating to say the least. Watch the YouTube car vs car. I feel like I did when I had my first new muscle car, a 1968 Dodge Dart GTS 340. I actually think this car is faster. Do yourself a favor, test drive a 2025 Kia K5 with the Turbo. If I’m lying I’m dying!!

2025 Kia K5 EX 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 8A)

This is my 3rd and last Kia, my first two were Optimas. I purchased the EX and absolutely HATE this car. It's missing so many standard options; no auto rearview dimmer, no heated/cooled back seats, The radio/heat and cooling dash area is a joke. No autolink to open the garage door...all standard on my Optimas. For $41,000 I'd expect more. It has a for sale sign in the rear windows already. Talked to the dealer to discuss options; according to them there are none so I'll be paying over $600 a month for a car I hate. Will NEVER buy another Kia.
