Front and rear defrosters as well as some other research controls nicely laid out as well and then in the lower section you can see there’s plenty of room to place your phone or other smaller items you can see a 12 volt along with two usb ports so that’s great to have there’s two cup holders over on the right side of the gear selector and then with my foot on the
Brake you can push the release on the left side put it into reverse so you can see the backup camera appear with the guidelines you can also have these split screens so you can still have that information over on the left side and then you can go into the camera and configure that of course you have a top-down view with the guideline and then you can also go back
To the camera that you just saw very helpful in backing up especially in parking lot situations you can also go over into the sport mode setting here so you can shift using the gear selector right behind that we have the auto hold for the brakes along with the electronic parking brake this is that rotary dial to go through the different driving modes that i showed
Earlier you can see the wireless charging pad is just behind that and you can actually sync your phone down in there just a little bit so that way it’s going to hold in place and then opening up the center armrest you can see there’s a lot more storage you can see a little bit more of that wireless charging pad and then over on the passenger side you can see the
Glove box with all of that room for all the information you need to place there we’ll take one last look at these seats here and as i mentioned earlier we have the full panoramic roof so i currently have the sunshade open we have all the adjustments for the sunroof as well along with the dome lights and you can see some call buttons in front of that as we get this
2022 ikea k5 gt line out on the road for 30 000 you’re getting a really nice sedan as you’ve already seen in today’s video all these materials are super nice we have the leather steering wheel the leather seats all this brushed aluminum and then you there’s a lot of technology for this car you have these super cruise which i’m going to try to do in a little bit
In this video and you have this large screen here with a lot of info to go through so i really like for the money you’re getting a lot it doesn’t have all the crazy bells and whistles but it has everything that you need to make this a great daily driver and as far as maneuverability goes doing a quick three-point turn there very easy to see with that backup camera
And now with it in sport mode giving it a little bit of gas there just a small acceleration with traffic that we have here it definitely gets up and moves so i like with the smaller engine here you still have plenty of power you can opt for a larger engine you can get all-wheel drive just depending on your needs just overall a really nice vehicle we have plenty
Of space in those back seats there as you can see you can fold the seats down too just making it very versatile but with it in sport mode we can give it a little bit more of an acceleration and we’re up to speed so it’s definitely plenty powerful merging out into the highway or under the highway things like that shouldn’t be an issue and now as we switch over to
The pov angle you can see what it’s like to be behind the wheel of this k5 i love the materials on the steering wheel all these controls are nicely laid out as well and since we have a vehicle in front of us we can activate the supercruise here currently has a distance of two and just by pushing that one button it automatically sets it and so that’s pretty much
It you have the speed that you can adjust right here so i’m going to go up to the speed limit and that’s really easy to activate so we have the distance pacing obviously and before we get to the stop here we can see if this is the full radar crew system we’ll take another quick look at visibility so over that shoulder there you can easily see same with the left
Shoulder there quick glance and then as we come to a stop now the vehicle is automatically breaking and we’re coming to a complete stop so it’s really nice to see that feature i’ve been driving a lot of vehicles with the full radar crews now obviously since that vehicle has taken off to the right there the vehicle will go up to speed so of course you have to use
The brake from there but i have been driving a lot of vehicles with this adaptive cruise and i gotta say it is really impressive it makes it very convenient when you’re driving this especially every single day if you’re coming home from work you’re in stop and go traffic it makes it so much nicer to drive not having to worry about doing the gas or the brake and
The fact that you get it in this vehicle for around thirty thousand dollars is very impressive so let’s do one more acceleration here and like i said with this smaller turbocharged engine it’s very peppy this vehicle doesn’t weigh a whole lot either overall it’s a comfortable vehicle to drive i haven’t had any complaints with how it’s going over all these bumps
The seats have a really nice seating position too so you could definitely drive this every single day and be very comfortable but i think that’s going to wrap it up for this walk around review and test drive behind the wheel of the 2022 kia k5 gt line once again a huge shout out to kefra kia for providing this sedan for me today make sure you guys check out their
