I keep my eyes open for those videos!

[@timeisdead]

Getting this in a few weeks; I appreciate the thorough review!

[@Tubbybowls]

How do you like it?

[@timeisdead]

@ I absolutely adore it. 8,000 miles in, drives super well, looks amazing, my warranties cover me on everything including oil and tires. Constantly get compliments on it - well worth it. With the new naturally aspirated engine reliability is way better and isn’t nosediving like honda. Definitely recommend it!

[@Tubbybowls]

@@timeisdead thank you for the response!

[@stevencorbo1220]

Unless you're racing at a track this has more than enough power for the average driver you don't need over 200 horsepower. And with a k&N air filter you get better throttle response and it's a good car overall

[@porfiriato84]

If only it didn't have those ugly wheels. Otherwise I do like it.

[@davidnelson3906]

@@porfiriato84you can get different aftermarket wheels brodie it won’t void your warranty a whole set for 800 - like 1,500 that’s not bad tbh

[@danielmartins9901]

@@porfiriato84 Don't you have options?

[@GenesisCoupeJeff]

Nice to see rear turn LEDs finally. Something I noticed is that projector headlights are gone, the 4 trims all just get reflectors. The physical difference between reflector and projectors was an easy way to tell whether the pre-refresh gt-line or gt had their premium package. And the pre-refresh EX even with its premium package didn't get projectors. And now the EX doesn't even have a package option anymore

[@brettnickley1314]

Great review! I’ve had mine for several days now and you hit all the stuff I’ve been loving about it.

[@j317]

does it have ambient lighting

[@junebugg5475]

Ive had my 2025 k5 gt line for almost a week now. I love it. You get a lot of tech and features for the price. Drives smooth and very comfortable seats, had a 3 hour drive with no issues. Only thing I would change is maybe opting for the premium pkg: upgraded sound system, pano sunroof, and ambient lighting. I would have been down to pay a bit more for those features. Other than that I think its a great option if your just looking for something stylish, fun, and affordable to get to where you need to go

[@danielmartins9901]

How'd you pay for it? (*never bought a car yet*)

[@leonardoguenther1861]

can’t wait to test drive a 25 one!! very very happy with mine 23 Gt line AWD 😍

[@WTFCRLT1]

Sounds awesome man hope you enjoy it moving forward!

[@rolyreyes5097]

Great review and great car. Waiting for your review on the new K4 GT-Line...

[@smartkid1201]

Someone forgot to remove the black strip on the front driver side window surround lol

[@FJNEditz]

I can’t wait for the glove box so I can put my 20 to 25 license plates inside!!

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

Kia gives you more car for the money and this is a beautiful car with great wheels.

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Amazing job Will & I'm thinking of buying this.

[@porfiriato84]

You say that about every car on the planet

[@nickgangemi1787]

The window trim isn't supposed to be like that. That dealership did something with a wrap I think

[@wckdend9317]

Love my 2024 K5! I like the interior updates for 2025

[@flawlessrick]

I just subscribed… you been killing it don’t these car reviews. Keep up the great work!

[@jbc.07]

Excellent review. Thank you!

[@Gemini530]

Which has a more comfortable suspension? This one or the Sorento

[@nickstark8640]

Was really looking forward to getting one of these 25’s. Unfortunately KIA decided ONLY to import this K5 with very limited interior colors. You can only have a black one on the EX and GT. The GT-Line offers red or black. That’s it. No other choices.

[@TheR13]

When will you do 2025 K5 GT trim review?

[@WTFCRLT1]

I’ll try getting one asap! 👍🏼

[@porfiriato84]

​@@WTFCRLT1yeeesss! I'm interested in the new GT

[@tavondouglas8461]

thanks for this video i plan on check this out next week but i think i will ask for the GT 1 package for features

[@bogarin77]

Is this faster then the 1.6 L turbo engine?

[@Iambiancagiselle]

Can we talk about the Isuzu troopersin the back My step dad had one brand new in1998

He buried the lead with those in the background

[@alyankovsky]

It is ridiculous my 2023 Kia Forte LXS with package option also pearl white has blind spots monitors for $ 22000 🤷‍♂️ 11:13

[@seanjones7121]

I hope that im wrong, however, I have a feeling that the missing chrome strip on the front window is an "oops". On the ones that I've seen in person, it was missing on the passenger side and not the drivers 🤷

[@prescottlange]

They're all shipped with a black protective strip, supposed to be removed in prep. The windows are fully surrounded by chrome. The only "oops" was neglecting to remove the black strip before filming.

[@seanjones7121]

@@prescottlange yeah, I realized this after commenting. Still seems odd

what are they asking? you didn’t show the silly dealer adds ons they try to charge you

[@TeencieTV]

Is it naturally aspirated?

[@jimmy_woods4337]

Yes, 2.5 liter 4 cylinder.

[@FJNEditz]

Do you think the glove box can fit 20 to 25 license plates?

Looks good! Seems to have more pickup than the Sportage I test drove. That thing was SLOWWW

What is this add on sticker ?!

[@DMY.Dav1d]

I prefer the exterior of my current 2023 GT-Line but with the interior and drivetrain of this one

[@JoKrPH]

Does anyone have this yet?

[@saiahentertainment2404]

[@FM-gv7sb]

WTF couldn't Kia also make a manual transmission option? I'd love a sport sedan like this with a manual transmission.

[@monikathomas4985]

Really nice 🔥🔥

[@SuperFitness12]

Love the Amazing . K 5

[@stevencorbo1220]

I hate that you guys all keep using the word faux leather when it's vinyl

[@WTFCRLT1]

Vinyl has a very cheap connotation to it. This material is a much better quality so although “vinyl” would be an accurate description, it’d be like putting cloth, fabric and microfiber in the same category. Faux or synthetic leather just seems like a more fair description considering the increased quality.

[@ReadyorNah]

just realized he aint driving with any plates on lol

[@CrimsonWingThree]

I see how they put a 2k market adjustment on the window sticker. What a joke

[@Snsojdineow]

Only difference from the previous year is that the GT-Line now comes with parking sensors and 360 camera and the dual screen. Everything else? The same, blah.

[@markovchebyshev5376]
