LIVE: Kia K5 GT vs. Kia K5 GT-Line! An in-depth comparison!

The 2021 Kia K5 GT and 2021 Kia K5 GT-Line have very similar names and looks, but they are also very different cars. In this video, Peter shows us the features and differences between these two vehicles.
Thanks for watching!

[@scottmurray6474]

Nice job comparing the two models. We ordered ours Saturday, waiting for it to come in. I asked the salesman the difference between the two, and he didn't know. So again, great job and thank you.

this was a very nice review. i’m excited to see if you do a 2025 comparison to these two. cheers.

[@BrianGarside]

Does the Red shown have the GT1 package? Thanks for the comparison!

[@JarrodES13]

I had the choice between a GT and a nicely loaded AWD GT-line. While I really appreciated the GT for what it was, I don't see it being good to live with everyday - especially during winter. It torque steers even when the roads are clear and dry, and unless you really can keep your foot out of it, I could see them being an absolute handful for someone not expecting it. The GT-line is an excellent option, keeping most of the cosmetic features and offering real-world practicality. Not to mention the aftermarket isn't too far behind with upgrades to the 1.6T (i.e. same goodness inside the Forte GT and the Veloster). If the 1.6T can get a little more power out of it and maintain decent traction with the AWD, it would be the perfect daily driver. An exhaust, intake, and a decent tune... 250 horsepower wouldn't be out of the question. And that would be power you can actually get traction with and put to the ground. Kia's worst shortcoming was not offering the GT in AWD. If they did that, they would have taken the lunch from Subaru and their WRX line - offering a more reliable car, with a better warranty (and none of those lovely head gasket issues...)

[@BrantfordKia]

I definitely would have liked to see the GT in AWD. The GT as equipped isn't a great 0-60 car, but it's a phenomenal car for passing power, and overall ride and handling. If it were my decision, for my driving, I'd buy the K5 GT-Line with the AWD and a less power. It's SO nice inside, I think I'd love it, even if it didn't have the maximum power.

[@JarrodES13]

@@BrantfordKia I definitely see the GT Line as a great value, especially especially for the amount of items you get for the price point. Once the aftermarket catches up in upgrading the 1.6T (especially in AWD), they'll add the AWD to the 2.5 😬

[@BrantfordKia]

@@JarrodES13 Haha! I'm wondering if the rumours are true about the Stinger coming to an end, if we'll see a refreshed K5 GT in a couple of years with AWD.

[@jaysweeney9279]

Jarrod so you could make the 1.6 turbo faster?

[@JarrodES13]

@@jaysweeney9279 it certainly has the potential. The 1.6T has been used in Velosters and Forte GT's for a number of years now. Aftermarket tuning on those with LAP3 has some of those cars putting down over 400 horsepower, with even more after upgrading the turbo and the rods. The biggest challenge is the aftermarket keeping up and provided the upgrades needed. The transmission and AWD system would most likely need to be strengthened before pushing that kind of power, but I'm sure someone's gonna push it before beefing things up.

[@deannaraye6145]

I am so back and forth between the two. I live in Maine, so the GT-line AWD makes much more sense for Winter. But I love the styling and the HP of the GT. I have had front wheel and 4WD in the past. Have never had AWD before. How much better handling in the Winter is the GT-line over the FWD GT? That will be deciding factor.

[@BrantfordKia]

AWD is great, but if you're comfortable in a FWD vehicle then I would say buy what you love. I recommend getting winter tires to improve winter traction.

[@jlmartinez8482]

The red looks amazing !

[@zmarko]

Nice comparison. I'd be buying the GT if it were AWD. And the GT Line doesn't have the power I'm looking for. I understand they're trying to "protect" the Stinger, but IMO it's a huge misstep by Kia.

[@BlazinNSoul]

I wish people would just appreciate the fact that this is a good line altogether. I just got the Kia K5 EX and it's a baller!! Huge Improvement over my Ford Focus which had known dual clutch problems. The GT is a great line no doubt but the K-5 overall is a great series. You really can't go wrong anyway you go here. :)

[@BrantfordKia]

Yeah, the criticism with the GT in FWD is that it is a little hard to launch 0-60 because of the immense power that the engine makes. (The vehicle is equipped with launch control which helps) but the passing power and handling of that GT is awesome!

Love the video thank you for this! Two questions: 1) does the GT model have the option for the red interior like the GT-line does? and 2) so the GT doesn’t have sensors like the GT does, right?

[@jkhartney06]

i meant so the GT-line doesn’t have sensors as the GT does in the second question oops sorry

[@BrantfordKia]

We film in Canada. We're don't currently have red interior, so you may want to double check with your local dealer to see if they can accurately answer for vehicles in your region. Most of our information is the same, but on some of the specifics, there are differences.

[@michelepaine8480]

Where I live you can get the red package with the GT-Line and the premium package with the sunroof and more tech options as well. I just purchased a GT-Line in the Glacier white pearl with black interior and without that package as I really don't need the sunroof (way too hot and A/C is always going so ya...less headroom too in the back seat with it so no biggy). Again, you can get the extra tech sensors, etc...with the premium package. I forgot to mention I live in the US so options might be different. In this video the wood look is only on the EX, not the GT-Line or GT. Happy shopping!

Would you still consider the gt line AWD fast?

[@BrantfordKia]

The term "fast" can be deceiving. Compared to a top of the line Porsche, it's not fast, but I think for the types of driving that people will use this car for, they'll find it to be quite strong. The benefit of the way that the torque builds in this car means that you have maximum torque MUCH lower in the rev range than most other vehicles in this class. That means that you have strong acceleration in any gear, at any speed. It's the type of thing that you may want to drive before you buy, but the GT-Line is the model that I would buy over the GT. Other people will choose differently, and that will be what makes sense for them.

[@K5God]

What type of stereo does the GT line have? How does it sound and how much power does it have ?

[@BrantfordKia]

The GT-Line just has a Kia stereo, but I'll be honest, the latest Kia stereos are excellent. There is a noticeable difference between the Bose Audio and the regular stereo, but as I said the regular one is improved on these models. I don't have the specs for power at hand right now. I encourage you to listen to one for yourself to see if it's what you like. Specs never tell the full story with stereos.

[@arturol150]

Would u get gt line or gt

[@BrantfordKia]

Me? GT-Line. I don't need the extra power and like having AWD. But that doesn't make me right!

[@feifoo]

K5 GT 290hp, 311pft/torque. Could steal the market, but without either LSD or 4WD, what is Kia thinking!!!, Don't want to change front tire every month😭

[@BrantfordKia]

It's an interesting choice for sure. There are a number of valid reasons for why they didn't do it, but I'd still like to see that car being produced as well. I can tell you that my Santa Cruz with that engine and AWD is great fun!

all K5 aren't awd, they are available in awd as an option. the GT does not have this option

[@BrantfordKia]

That's correct. Did I misspeak? Let me know the timestamp.

@@BrantfordKia I was wrong, I didn't hear you say all K5's sold in Canada are awd. I live in the US where awd are options for the LXS and GT line.

Do Kia car’s have Wifi Hotspot? Do Kia car’s have radar cruise control? 15:46

No Wifi hotspot - not all of our cars have advanced cruise control (uses camera's and "radar") but many of top trims do.

@@loitersquadX The K5 GT will not have AWD but will have a more powerful engine. That's the biggest difference. To see a direct comparison, spec for spec, I would check out www.kia.ca

[@loitersquadX]

@@BrantfordKia I literally just bought the 2022 ex it has everything. But just not the speed. And i also bought an audi q3 premium plus. So my last question is this. And then ill check website. Does the 2022 kia gt have everything the kia ex has? I dont care about awd i want the interior the same. I just need speed

[@BrantfordKia]

@@loitersquadX I can't be positive that it has everything the same, but in general it has those features, or adds more features. If you're happy with the features on one, you should be more than happy with the features on the higher trim. The exception right now is that the 8" screen comes with wireless Android Auto and wireless Apple Carplay, but the larger 10.25" screen does not have those wireless right now. (it's possible that will be added in the future, but I can't be sure)

Great job.. the only ugly thing on the k5 is the behind the seat pouches… just looks sloppy and 80s

I bought a k5 gt line in June and I don't have a sunroof or heated seats, hud,and feel cheated and don't have memory seating either or the bigger brakes

[@BrantfordKia]

The GT-Line doesn't have bigger front brakes, (only the GT does) but the other reasons that you feel cheated have to do with you not living in the best country in the world! ;) 🇨🇦

Analog display is a big turnoff thing Analog display = dealbreaker

Interesting. It doesn't really bother me. Digital displays are still relatively rare right now.

[@combatveteranusnavy2012]

Are the people in charge at KIA out of their minds. How can you design a car where Sirius XM Radio is NOT AVAILABE at all.

[@BrantfordKia]

Many of our vehicles have it, but I think the market research tells them that on lower trims, people are less likely to subscribe. I don't make the trim decisions, but I think that may play in to their decisions.

Why does Kia Canada not offer all the interior choices as the US models? seems like Kia Canada has the any colour you want as long as its black mentality.

[@BrantfordKia]

Yeah, I think what it boils down to is that our smaller market generally means that we get a little less choice. It's tough for dealers if they have the right exterior colour, but the wrong interior colour. There will be less options to trade when there are less dealers. I'd like to see some more interior colours too, but we'll see. The Seltos is adding a burgundy leather option for 2022 model years, so they may be looking to add more variety in the future.

[@SgawCules]

I mean, from what I've heard, you guys get a fully digital gauge now? Unlike the US

[@levaranoia]

I'll never understand people's fascination with wood trim. It looks stupid and I definitely wouldn't want any part of my car made from wood.

[@BrantfordKia]

Haha. Ouch! I never used to like it, but I do like the look and feel of the (fake) wood in the K5 GT-Line which is similar in a few trims of the Sorento and Telluride. It's not for everyone, that's for sure, but I've been converted from not a fan, to big fan since they've been using this material.

[@xL0stKIlah]
