The K5 has always had an impeccable exterior, and that powertrain is nice for the price

Since the Stinger is gone it would be nice to see the K5 GT in AWD.

It's refreshing to see a performance sedan without a decorative rear spoiler. Very clean. This car gets more appealing every time I see it Thanks Joe

The best there's in the segment. No altima no accord no camry looks this good and never did. Lots of fanboys gonna use reliability to justify camry, but when I'm buying a car I want more than reliability, I want looks more power and great value for money and kia/huyndai does just that, not to mention these cars will easily last 10+ years and by that time most people would trade in and get something else

I’m going to upgrade to this, from my 2013 optima i don’t want to get rid of it so I’m keeping it still it has 225 thousand miles no issues ever and still drives like new. I absolutely love Kia.

I’ve been wanting a K5 since I first learned about it years ago. This year I will get a car and this K5 will be it 💯🤝🏾

This car is amazing! I was checking out some other 2025 sedans but the K5 is so much more appealing than the others. I’m super impressed with everything about it and I cannot wait until it drops. I am definitely looking to buy one myself.

Chicago Auto Shows were the best as a highschool student going on a school field trip. Me and my buddies used to go in the rear seats and set the child locks on the doors and see grown men get stuck in the rear seats and have to beg others to open it for them or crawl into the front seats. Obviously boys will be boys but as an adult looking back these videos bring memories lol.

First thing that caught my eye is that cool daytime running lamp and the tail lights is also cool pair with that beautiful looking quad exhaust awesome.

Thanks for the videos always obtaining new info thanks 🙏🏼

This thing is sleek! Love the review Joe!

I’m getting a 2025 K5 GT as soon as they come out. Another good review. I’m looking forward to when you get to drive one. By the way Kia says that the color on the calipers and the stitching on the seats is called “Neon Green”…

This car has always had the looks... but that updated fron though 😍😍😍

I love the black wheels with the white ...very clean look. The design team did a nice job

Love, love, love the exterior styling!

I was wwaiting for this video!

This really looks stunning specially the headlight & taillight design which will become very recognizable. Korean car makers really improving their game.

Joe - another great review. The new K5 GT may be my first Kia. Is there enough room in the back seat area to add a small video monitor + an Atari 2600, so I can play Space Invaders and Asteroids?

Very beautiful car ,joe I like this Kia change. As always awesome and thanks alot Steven.❤❤

Very interesting lightning bolt style to the headlights!

Hey Raiti, been a long time subscriber. Need some input, since it's been a while since I last purchase a new vehicle . Looking to get a Kia K5. Pricing, pre-covid, one was able to negotiate and buy below MSRP. During covid, prices were marked up ridiculously. Post covid, I guess it's hit or miss. I have come across some dealers that still have mark ups. I guess what I'm trying to ask, is this a good time to buy or should I wait?, when it comes to pricing. I understand your expertise is in vehicle previews. Because I'm a long time subscriber, I trust your judgement. I would like your recommendation. Thank you

This looks better than it's Sonata N-Line cousin I say. I will have to zonk you Joe, that stitching is green, not yellow! Great review as always.

I have a 23 GT and it’s nice to see they kept the incredible features which make it stand out to faster or more expensive options

Honda needs throw that accord in the trash. Unacceptable. I'm definitely copin' this

KIA HYUNDAI is the new TOYOTA

I absolutely love how it uses the green brake caliper style from the ev6 gt. I own an ev6 gt myself.

Great Review ! This is the best looking K5 to date .. especially liking the rear - very clean ! Nice interior ! Quick motor ! - Only gripe is the lemon/lime calipers and matching color stitching lol

I got the 2022 Kia k5 gt line wolf grey and I love mine 🔥 this is even more pressure ‼️

Thanks joe for that review on the k5 but i wanted to know if the k5 comes with a head up display and Awd?

Joe I’ve been watching videos since March 30, 2023 when Hyundai introduced the newly refreshed 2024 Sonata N Line. I have switched over to the 2025 K5 GT. Of all of them Raiti’s Rides definitely does the best job! Your camerawoman does a great job too!

Kia car line up has gotten better than they use to be I want that car ❤❤❤

What's up Joe! I used to have a 2015 Kia optima LX. I want this one!❤

Looks great! Great options and a lot of power!! Will def. look into getting one :)

Quad tip exhaust is cleaner. The interior trim stitching matching the calipers. Full LED lights. 🔥 Really digging this

Kia and Hyundai still aren’t offering AWD or even a limited slip diff on the K5 GT or Sonata N Line. What good are these cars if you can’t even put the extra power down?

Currently have a 22 Forte GT, and it's a fun little car for the price. My initial impression was mixed on this, but the more I look at it, the more I am highly considering upgrading!

I love love love your reviews...I always look for yours first ❤❤❤ Serious question though...do you have any idea when these are going to be available?? I am waiting impatiently, haha....

Awesome...gonna get one. I loved my K5 LX. Time to upgrade...K5 GT.

Dang, looks slick! Get them on the showroom floors, and I'm there 🔥

Love all your videos 👌

The k5 looks perfect for the competitiors to the mazda6 raiti's

Great review, Joe.... btw, why not put the 3.3 t in that sled ???? I don't get it ....

The color is actually Neon Green, according to Kia’s website.

Amazing review Joe.

Kia really has the best looking cars these days. All it needs is a AWD.

Wow i just bought a 2022 K5 today lol should of waited for this one 😅

I love those LEDs. Looks so badass!!!

Better than the new accord, honda really dropped the ball by dropping the 2.0t

At least this can be equipped with everything, unlike the Sonata N-Line which doesn't get any of the equipment the Limited trim can get.

An absolutely amazing masterpiece

2025 K5 Gt is on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

always loved the look of the K5 but the only thing that i zonked was the gauge cluster, that tiny little screen compared to other big brand vehicles they have in there’s, made me never consider getting one. NOWWW i’m sold, definitely will go for this as my next car!

My every day car is a 2023 K5 GT. I luv this car..Traded a 2020 Stinger GT1 for a K5 to achieve better gas milage. The only zonk I have on the GT is that the exhaust could be tuned further to give it more piz az. Otherwise, this car is worth the money.

Overall a pretty solid line of cars, 290 HP with the GT is not bad at all. The biggest gripe people have, myself included is that it’s front wheel drive only…0-60 those tires spinnnnnn

Most people will get the GT Line with the new 2.5L NA engine. Will it feel like the 1.6T or completely different?

Yes of course Joe and this is will be my daily.

So first thing u see is that Joe must be eating a little differently on the road! Looking fit Mr. Joe! Great job on the presentation with Kia’s upgraded K5.

Truly gorgeous! Way better than BMW design

This man is so perfect in his work!

Nice lines. Sleek and stylish.

Should be pretty quick with that power.

I love this car k5 look good 👍 and Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video real true 👍 💯

Many channels out there that do the same thing, but no one tops this guy..

Hope they still have an option in interior color .the red and brown- tan looks really good with the white

Love my 2023 K5 GT1 only complaint is the stock tires don’t have enough grip for the HP!

I really Love it... I have a 19 Sonata and really have been interested in the last 2 Hyundai refresh to the Sonata.... BUT this looks super clean and cool imo. Like it a lot.

I was going to get a k5 gt but heard alot about the transmission going out on them so i opted for a 23 civic hatch touring

The side profile looks just like the Stinger without the brake vents

I'm going to reserve judgement until I see the LXS trim. Hopefully less gloss black inside the cabin.

A gt trim and no limited slip differential kind of contradicts the point of a gt trim

When you thought the K5 couldn't get any sleeker .....😉

The one thing I would like to see changed with the interior is that gear lever. They should make it smaller or move to knobs or buttons.

I drove one before and it was so nice.

Thats a nice wip...ive got a 18 kia forte lx plus

Were there any news about the new K4/Forte? Or is that pushed to 2025

Also the k5 is longer than the Stinger. If the stinger had a bigger gas tank it would have been a winner in my book. 300 mile range on a full tank. Not cutting it. My 22 kia k5 gt has a 420-425 range and my 15 kia optima sxl has a 490-502 range. They need to go back to the 18.5 gallon gas tank.

Raitis Rides what is your favorite car between hyundai elantra N or the kia k5 gt I want to know your opinion 🙏

04:14.......I am Korean. That orange side repeater is so pretty. For some reason, it is illegal in Korea. Why? Why...

Just bought a k5 gt, awesome awesome car.

Hey Joe, sorry if you’ve covered this but will a 2025 Honda Accord review be coming any time soon?

Looking good…….sharp car. Thanks Joe and Lori…..and Chicago

That good old big hug. Awesome

Currently driving a 21 Sonata N Line with almost 50K and its been great. I was going for the GT but there were none around at the time. Not really in the market for a new car. If I were and wanted to stay in the segment, this would be it. Not really a fan of the Sonata RoboCop refresh, and they eliminated the rear seat vents?! If it comes as equipped in your review, I'll consider it.

They didn’t waste much time replacing the Stinger. Was the Stinger considered mid-size?

These K5’s be giving these people too much confidence lol. When I’m driving around in my car 2021 M3 competition I always have these things trying to race me😂

Looks really cool and seems practical too.

Just ordered mine

my fav in the car review genre

This new K5 just completely trashed the Accord! D.O.A.

I love those LEDs))))

It's really good looking!! They missed a HUGE opportunity by making it FWD, instead of AWD. Could've just used the Tucson drivetrain. They'd put a dent in every competitive brand👍

I’m back watching it again I wanna get stinger gt2 awd or ev6 gt but this new k5 is 🔥🔥

My absolute new dream car, im manifesting it as we speak maybe I can trade my 2021 gtline AWD in for it

As a consumer in the market for a new midsize sedan, I'm going to have a really hard time picking between the new K5 and Hyundai Sonata. Both look amazing

I hated the recent model back light being a unilight from left to right. With this update, with a clear space bewtween the right and left tail light, it looks more modern but futuristic.

Wow I didn't like the 2024 k5 but this one hits the spot

Love the K5 for sure. They're very eye catching, but sat in a friend's and at 5'8"... I felt like there was no headroom.

ambient lighting??

Does the K5 have oil consumption issues like the optima !?? Or any other type of issues does anyone know?

I guess I like the cosmetic changes. I definitely appreciate the fact they got rid of those fake awful vents on the rear bumper from the pre-refresh model. I just think when it comes to the GT model they should've gotten rid of the whole chrome spear thing completely. The GT model should've been made without it.
