My New Car: The 2022 Kia K5 GT-Line AWD

This paint color is called "Wolf Grey"

It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to post some blog updates, but perhaps one of the biggest ones worth noting is that I got a new vehicle! My "realistic dream vehicle” actually: the 2022 Kia K5 GT-Line AWD! I actually worked at Kia in product planning a few years back and performed market research that helped lead to the development of this car. Shoutout to Summit Place Kia in Auburn Hills, Michigan and Mr. David Lee for hooking me up with a cool car and great deal (again), especially during all of the chip-related supply shortages! 

This K5 replaces my 2018 Jeep Compass and my mother’s 2013 Buick Regal Turbo at the same time - so 2 cars for 1.

Also, this actually is a very key moment for me, as I now have completed my “dream garage” - and because was part of the market research and development process for the K5 among other products. I have the Kia I always wanted back in high school complete a with red interior and AWD, a 2004 Oldsmobile, and my first car, the Saturn Aura (which is mechanically similar to the Pontiac G6 I initially wanted too). So far, the K5 has been an awesome car and it attracts A TON of compliments when I’m out, just like my Telluride. It’s also not a bad car to drive. Its kinda sporty-ish around town and it gets great fuel economy - my highest record to date is 41.4 MPG.

I’ll be making more posts on the K5 (and also uploading older posts I haven’t had the time to get to), such as what upgrades I’ve made to it and my other cars as well as a K5 review. Life is busy, as I’m sure you all can imagine. But in the meantime, check out two YouTube videos on when I first got the car a few months back and also a 0-60 and 0-100 test video. Like, comment and subscribe - thanks!
