Redline Reviews
In a recent video on his YouTube channel, Redline Reviews, Sofyan Bey gave viewers an early glimpse of the 2025 Kia K5 at the Chicago Auto Show. He briefly went over the car’s engine details, mentioning that this new model is stronger than its 2024 predecessor. It comes with a 2.5-liter engine that can produce 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque.
“This makes it one of the quickest family sedans you can buy and really gives it an edge over the competition,” said Bey.
Bey then lowered the hood and shifted his focus to the car’s outside appearance. He mentioned that the front now features an updated LED lighting design.
“Compared to the new Sonata, which also got a refresh in 2024, I personally think the K5 is the better-looking car,” said Bey.
Bey wrapped up by sharing some of his favorite features he saw in the 2025 K5.
“It’s clear that Kia has made some pretty key upgrades here,” said Bey. “I like some of the upgrades that Kia has made to the interior, especially with the software- it finally gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.”
Raiti’s Rides
On his YouTube channel, Raiti’s Rides, Joe Raiti also got an early glimpse of the 2025 Kia K5 at the Chicago Auto Show. He shared his thoughts on the car’s new updates, technology, and general vibe. He pointed out the unique body lines on the exterior, which form “U” shapes at the front and rear. Additionally, Raiti talked about the refreshed design of the tiger nose grille, the fog lights, and the tires.
“Look at the way they did that lighting,” said Raiti. “I like how they kind of smoke the lenses a little bit, a little dark tinge.”
He moved on to explore the inside of the car, praising its comfort, design, and technology. He pointed out that the K5 now features two 12.3-inch screens, one for the entertainment system and the other for the dashboard. Right below the central screen, you’ll find the controls for the car’s temperature, offering options like dual climate control, as well as heating and cooling for the seats. He also commented on how the seats felt and looked.
“New for 2025 is that neon yellow highlighter stitching,” said Raiti. “Seats- love the material. The stitching is consistent even in the center here.”
Raiti is looking forward to test driving the updated Kia K5 soon, even though he hasn’t had the chance to drive it yet.
