2025 Kia K5 Review

[@gregholman2930]

I've been hearing recently by watching vids that the MBZ E350 (4th generation) is the best car manufactured (2014-2018), I would appreciate you reviewing one if all possible, thanks & I'm a new sub, you're doing a masterful job, keep up the good work!

I bought a 2025 K5 GT Gt1 package in Aurora Black Pearl for 38,600 OTD price and I love it. Drive in Sport + mode and it's great but have to watch your speed!

Sounds great. I envy you, this is my first choice for a new vehicle but Kia has decided not to offer the K5 in Canada any more. Very bummed out here.

Compared with BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, Mercedes C Class, Tesla Model 3, Lexus IS, Infiniti Q50, Acura TLX, & Genesis G70

I viewed recently a vid by Destiny Peace who's vid is entitled "KIA K5 Honest Review: 1 Yr Update (Why I Regret Buying A KIA)", this woman has the exact same vehicle except I think hers was a 2023 model. She had a laundry list of problems with only 30k miles. After having viewed her vid, I would pause before running out & purchasing one, despite the K5's good looks & performance. I purchased a 2014 Optima 2014 SX (non-turbo) on Dec. 30th of last year & was warned on many vids to beware of excessive oil consumption, but luckily I haven't had to add a drop of oil in between oil changes. I haven't had any thing to go afoul either (thank heavens) despite it having 105k miles. I think the problem with KIA is their more focused on market share rather than quality, which translates into cutting costs & corners.

It will be almost impossible fot the to compete at this price. People became accustomed to Hyundai and Kia offering a little more for a lot less. Without a price advantage. What are they offering? 10 year warranty. Its going to take more to get customers to take a chance on a brand with less than stellar reliability.

It's all about cost cutting. There is no positive way to spin that touch screen/climate controls in one ... Unless you're in the media that is, it's a talent but not a good one. I find it hard to believe that reviewers haven't noticed the steady march towards the bottom by ALL manufacturers. I've been buying cars for over 20 years and the quality is right back to where it was on domestic cars in the late 90's. It's like the media only exists to spin and lie to us, it's their job.
