KBB.com Consumer Reviews
4.1out of 5 overall- 5.0
32.7 avg MPG!
by Maui Cruiser on 6/21/2026 5:23:11 PM
Purchased the car in April 26 writing review June of 26. Driven 4,000 miles and love the car. Drives smooth, looks amazing very comfortable and very quiet. The cars power is adequate. You are not going to win any races but with current fuel prices at $4.60 a gallon I appreciate almost 33mpg much more than being able to smoke the tires. I purchased the premium upgrade for Bose system, sunroof, red interior and very happy with the extra features. The backup camera, blind spot monitoring and lane assist all work and are useful. I really enjoy the auto headlights which also dim high beam making driving at night easy and safe. I use the cruise control feature daily and it works well for keeping distance and stopping in traffic. You basically just need to steer the car. I love the auto hold feature when you stop you can take your foot off the brake and the car will stay stopped until you press the gas. The cruise control and auto stop keep your legs well rested for long journeys and trips in stop and go traffic. Overall very happy with the purchase and will update if any issues in the future. - 5.0
Best midsize sedan ever!!!
by Anonymous Reviewer on 7/22/2025 10:02:42 PM
I have 2022 kia k5 gtline with 90k kms on it. I never had problem with this car except 2 times, one for reverse camera (changed for free), and one for throttle body valve( again for free). Eventhough I don’t like 2024 k5 headlight design, 2022 k5 is amazing. For some reason the depreciation was very less than expected. After 50k kms on the car I got quote for $39k. - 4.0
