2024 Kia K5 GT - Fun, Fast, & Efficient! 

I just got mine a few days ago and absolutely loving this thing! 2024 White K5 GT w/ GT1 package. My first ever brand new car!!

Excellent review. I've been looking at the K5 and this is by far the most comprehensive review I've seen. Nice job!!

This car is NOT made to do full pedal launces from a complete stop, you'll be changing your front tires every 6 months. It's made for those who know how to use just enough gas pedal pressure for a smooth start off the line. As well, it's a highway cruiser, not a stop light racer.

I freakin love this car. The first car I ever really like was the kia optima in 2013 (in terms of realistically achievable vehicles at the time). My manager had one with black rims, blue-white headlights, and blacked out accents. I thought it was pretty sick, this seems to be the more modernized version of it. I like how it keeps the feel and design that I liked about the optima but in a fresh, sharp way

i love it and i want the same one you showing with all the bells and whistles

I just got the 2024 K5 GT-Line with AWD today! Wolf Grey with the red interior and panoramic sunroof packages. It’s not the GT, but having the option of AWD was nice. I’m in love with this car already! I had the 2021 Kia Soul Turbo, but it was at the dealership awaiting service when a hail storm hit and it was declared a total loss. I loved that car, but happy with this new purchase!

Excellent review of a pretty cool car. Thanks for sharing.

Started looking into these after my fiancé bought a 23’ Sorento. Kia has really stepped their game up in recent years, they’re badass now

Bought a 2024 GT in August and it is a very nice sports sedan.

If the key fob battery dies and you can’t open the drivers door there is a hidden latch under the handle on the drivers side door. The cover comes off exposing the key hole. Use the key in the fob to open the door. I don’t know if it works on all Kia models but it works on my 22 k5. When you get in the car touch the silver part of the fob to the start button and the engine should start. A great car. I love it. The only issue I have because I’m tall is getting in and out even though the doors open ultra wide. The touch screen is easy to use. There are some modes I have yet to discover. When backing up the rear view camera has several options. It will automatically switch to normal (maps, etc)when you go 6 mph forward. I don’t have any idea why unless it is a safety feature. Great tutorials on the iPad. Fun to drive, small turn radius and very sporty in the sports setting. I would highly recommend the car

Great review, earned my sub 👍🏻

You're right, they should have went with the higher horsepower with the all-wheel drive. That's one of the reasons why I just got the GT line is because of the all-wheel drive

Just an awesome and beautiful car. I love it and this is my next car. You explained the contents very well and awesome information. So many functions love love love thank you.😊❤🎉🎉🎉

Great explanation

Bought the 2024 Kia K5 GT Black w/ Chesnut interior. Just tinted the windows, love it.

I got mine few days ago I love it 2024 Kia k5

I got mine a month ago, black GT K5 2024 with GT1 package...love it.

I love my K5. Had mines since June 2023. 24 K5 GT/GT1 Wolf grey. 🐺😊

Love my GT. I have mine in passion blue. But yes, 8 would of loved to have it in all wheel drive!

I’m 11:30 into the video and so far something you haven’t mentioned about the GT1 package is the upgraded Bose stereo system

Not too into cars but I've had my eye on the K5 for awhile now. So sharp and the details inside are amazing. I drive around an hour to work (ONE WAY) everyday. Is this a pretty reliable car for highway?

is it still fun to drive hard from stoplights if you're trying to push its limits while not hard enough to wheelslip?

Waiting on the 2025 Gt can't wait

I switched to a Sonata N Line. I like the "refreshed" look and the interior & Tech is much better...

Some continentals dw 06 plus on or ps4s will help greatly with the grip on 28:23. It's helped mine out alot.

Now my perfect new Kia K5 sedan I can buy.

Shame that those cars aren't available in Europe. Great car for that money. Great review as always. Greetings

Looks great but I did think the hood line/gap to the A pillar looked odd.

I would love to see a Elantra N 2024 when u get access it would be a great comparison🔥

I have a 2024 K5 GT with the GT1 package in Wolf Gray with a black interior on order…

Do these models come with the Blind Spot View Monitoring?

How does it ride - comfort wise?

It genuinely looks good from its side profile. It missed by not having adaptive cruise control and automatic windshield wipers. I’m annoyed it’s not Awd. I love my Mazda 3 and it has all of the above. Only 256 HP and 320 torque, but it can do 0-60 in 5.6 seconds, cheaper, more reliable, AWD.

Just got mine love it🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗

Which trim for ventilated seats, all-wheel-drive turbo 2.5

Do they have the all-season floor mats? I don't like carpet. Oh, could you just replace that light with a LED light for the visor mirror?

I'd want the all wheel drive. My forte GT line has front wheel drive. I'm ok with that. Now, does the hatchback open automatically with the fob in your pocket?

Love this car is so powerful.

I test drove this car this past weekend. It’s very nice. I want to lease it!

Nice looking car!

whats the ride quality like? is it pretty quiet? 19 inch wheels and closer to ground than an SUV make me a little nervous i have seltos right now and its 19 inch wheels and i hate it. it bounces HARD over every bump

Hi, this review is extremely significant you gave us details about this Kia K5 GT car however this car is comfortable and looks sporty I freaking love this car I liked the grille did you notice grille looks like a tiger nose squeezed getting along the fog light headlight is also great black chrome ginormous moon roof which nice further trunk area would almost 21 cubic feet gloss black 19-inch wheels with machine face moreover nice stitching seats very comfortable all the features including of this Gt Lane keep assists blind spot monitoring driver assist collision one thing I like the most if you aren't attention cars front of you bleep the sound that is a nice feature 2.5 l turbo inline-four cylinders 290ho and 311 pound-feet of torque eight-speed dual-clutch transmission 0 to 60 5.2 seconds front wheel drive I would rather purchase this one than gt1 overall this vehicle upscale thanks.

Is there a heads up display HUD option?

The fact that it's another year without wireless android or wireless apple carplay is frustrating

Did you leave anything out?! You probably could have skipped over a few things so my brain would not explode! . Very hyper-energetic review that only a young guy can do. What did you call those grab handles?! Overall, great job, thanks.

I like it but I don't see any head up display can I get it in and and ventilated seats?

Only Sorento LED Cube Headlights missing in K5 - Sad

I thought it would have the digital dash like the seltos 😕 but the market is suv now

Kia may offer AWD after the discontinuation of the Stinger. It didn’t make sense to offer it when they had a full fledged sports sedan with poor sales. It makes sense now that the K5 will be their only midsize sedan.

Have they made improvements with road and wind noise?

Just drove a new GT off the lot and home today. Overall very satisfied, but I did want to point out a couple issues: You have to get the GT1 package to get a heated steering wheel and integrated garage door openers (via HomeLink). The basic GT has neither of these. Also, most vehicles nowadays include the some form of adaptive cruise control. Again, only available thru the $4K+ GT1 package. Finally, the exterior/interior color scheme options are very limited, both in terms of what's offered by KIA (some interior colors are only offered with particular exterior colors), and in terms of what KIA decided to build and deliver to dealers so far in this model year. In my case, I wanted the Glacial White Pearl and I'm pretty sure *all* of these exteriors have only been built so far with a black interior. Having said all of that, I think it's a great car.

The Kia boys love them.

I loveee the k5 but i hate how they have the gt/gt line letters blended with the color of the seats. They shouldve made the gt letters red! To stand out. 🤦🏾‍♀️

I travel the Southeast for work, and I have lost count of the number of KIA cars, I have seen broken down on the side of the expressway.

i wouldve liked to see the GT come in AWD but i guess they chose not to since people will most likely shy away from the stinger

Is it possible to get the k5 with a head up display and awd? And how much would I have to pay for it?

I was all set on buying this car until you said it doesn't have AWD. I currently have a BMW Z4 and want that 0-60 off the line to be smooth.

Did they fix the theft issue yet? Shouldn't be allowed to sell them if not.

You have to start adding miles at a full tank

KIA should put the twin turbo 368 hp Stinger engine in the K5 with AWD since they discontinued the Stinger. I would trade my Stinger in for it.

Great video. Personally I wouldn't be interested in this trim just because without AWD it doesn't seem to put the power down well.

i paid 33k for my 22 gt line awd new and now ur telling me i can get a gt for the same price now?

Wait do I understand this right? It’s a 2024 model but you have to be plugged in for CarPlay?!

The starting noise sounds like the intro to Needy by Ariana Grande lmao

I'm think of buy a new 24' Kia K5 GT sedan.

Most people are surprised at how much car you get for the money from Kia. I had two Optima SX Turbos and they were flawless and delightful. Now I drive a Stinger that is a joy every day of the week. Why the K-5 GT isn't AWD remains one of the great mysteries.

Super nice KIA

That instrument cluster is straight out of a 2010-2015 VW Passat, right down to the coolant a fuel gauges. Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery and all...

Why does sticker say 1.6L and your video says 2.5L? Am I missing something?

Wireless apple car play should be bare minimum

I might just wait till the 2025 it has one long screen 🤔

No locking glove compartment - what's up with that.

Nice car

Nice job kid :)

👍🏻👍🏻I think you get a lot of car for 33k. The cost of a loaded Civic. Once you add another 4000+ I think there are better choices. If I'm going to mix luxury value and power. I would look at a Camry XLE.

311 torque isn't much this day and age? Really? Isn't 311 torque the highest you can get in its class?

Just a heads up, the guy says you can put 93 octane in, and maybe it'll give you more power. That's not true. 93 octane takes longer to burn in high compression/high heat situations, and that's all. It gives racecar pistons the ability to compress at higher ratios without the increased heat from compression igniting the gas prematurely (before the sparkplug fires). Premature ignition damages the engine. This car is calibrated to fire 87 octane. If you put 93 in, the computer will eventually recognize that there's a problem, because the fuel isn't burning as quickly as expected, and it'll adjust the timing. 93 octane is associated with high horsepower, but doesn't create more hp. Does that make sense? Also, don't rest your hand on the shifter while you drive. It can f up your trans over time.

No AWD or even a limited slip differential is why I took the K5 GT off my short list.

If only it had eLSD

It's a pretty car for older people. Not for racing.

Too bad this isnt wireless apple car play and Android Auto really sucks. But what is worse is they didn't use usb-c connections and instead went with thise old USB-A which is being phased out.

Stinger gt2 tribute >>

Bought a new 2006 Optima drove a couple years then all the warning lights started blinking. It went thru 6 inches of NW snow easy. Peace bro.

Lowkey tried to make it look like the underrated maxima exterior.

I dont like those black mirrors. Must have ordered from a parts supplier that ran out of white paint.

I love mine it’s so much fun to drive. I just wish it had wireless Apple car play and usb c ports 😔 but i love this car nonetheless

DUDE, I’m in love with this car, but I’m afraid of buying it because it’s a Kia… what should I do?

My best friend leased one and shes about to return it. She has no intentions of buying it! Shes disappointed with the glitchy infotaiment and other things I dont remember. I rode on it and it was ok but not terrific….

awd or lsd

Nice package

they should have made this 400 hp and then the price could be worth it. this is a damn KIA, so i might as well get something if i will buy a kia and that is a bargain horse power at least 400 hp

I got my 24 k5 gt line about 2 months ago, anybody know how to turn on the headed steering wheel?

Definitely a car full of options for the money. Love my car and did upgraded the tires, stock are worthless and spin very easily. Went to 255 continental extreme contact dws06, world of a deference. Better grip with less slip, not eliminated, but enough to give you confidence. Car is very fun to drive when opportunity and save to drive. Hit 140 no problem yet to hit 155 limiter, only drawback is a bit loose handling. Maybe some good sway bars and shock tower will help. Only complaint is the DCT, if never driven one, has some deferent drivetrain characteristics especially reverse and low speeds. Overall great car for the money and love the body style

I have a 23 k5 gt line awd 12 issues in 15 k miles a joke. The. Trunk trim is on by 3m tape who makes trim with 3 m that's one part that is already getting replaced

KIA if very foolish for NOT having Limited Slip Differential in this car. Yes, they would have had to charge more for the car, but it wouldn't be a terrible increase, and it would have made the car so much for drivable and so much more pleasurable.

For 33k I must have 4wheel drive

I will take synthetic leather over real leather all day long especially if you buy a German car. My Neighbor has a 2015 Dodge Journey with cloth/synthetic leather with 175,000 miles on the odometer and the interior looks like new. Their leather (German) seems to crack and show wear early on. What is the purpose of Dual Clutch transmissions? The one in my friend's former Audi was sloppy, jumpy, and ill-shifting.

Love the k5 gt but for the price Elantra N is faster and better overall

If you want to buy mine it's for sale
