GT2 is overall is better but compared the 2021 GT1 and 2022 GT1! For all those looking to purchase the 2022 GT1 my humble opinion get the 2021 GT1! Since KIA don’t sell the GT model for 2022, the GT1 is basically the GT model. Only advantage of the 2022 GT1 is remote start, new rims, upgrade 10+ screen, more ambient lights, refresh taillights light bar, active exhaust making 3hp which majority of 75% going to upgrade the exhaust. Way better off getting 2021 GT1 and get good deal and cheaper. 2022 GT1 has some downgrades features in GT1 removing premium audio, no sports gauges in the middle gauge? No cool seats? No more full led headlights? Let me break it down! The 2021 GT1 includes most features that 2022 GT1 doesn’t have! Auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink® and compass Driver's seat memory system Ventilated front seats Auto-dimming outside mirrors Sunroof with sunshade High beam assist Rain-sensing windshield wipers Driver attention warning Forward collision avoidance Lane keep assist Supervision Meter Cluster w/ 7.0-inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT), Color LCD Display Harman Kardon® QuantumLogic™ Premium Audio w/ Clari-Fi™, 720 Watts and 15 Speakers UVO eServices w/ 8-inch Touch-Screen Display and Voice-Command Navigation System Electronically Controlled Suspension (ECS) Yes do get a nice little refresh for the 2022 GT1 only for bigger screen more ambient lights, new exhaust with supposedly three more horsepower and nice light bar in taillights and new rims style. Mostly cosmetic!! Double check my list if some features might include but bottom line 2021 GT1 is better and do your research! Get those 2021 GT1 for good deal if your on a budget!

FYI: The GT2 on 2019-2021 models also have a camera on the front grill. The one in the video did not because it is a GT1... Also, the older GT2 models have Nappa leather which is softer than the GT1 used as a comparison. It appears that the only difference in the leather would be the stitching. Lastly, the gear shifter is the same in all GT2 model years and in 2019-2021 model years, there also is a camera button in the center console.
@speedfiend9253 жыл бұрын
The additional stitching added on the seats for 2022 definitely give the seats a more premium and classy vibe. Given it is green on the exterior I only wish they had the option for dark brown leather.

I'll be buying a 2019 GT AWD Limited (different model designations in Canada) in a couple of weeks. Got a hell of a deal on a fleet vehicle that has only 3500km on it (been sitting in storage since it was purchased). I'd hold out for a 2022 but I'm basically getting a new car for half the sticker price. Any updates on the black exterior trim packs that were supposed to be available or updated interior packages?

In Australia we get the GT which is the top of the range model so it is the same as the GT2 in your country although we don't get the AWD here in Oz. The changes are minimal and subtle and I am glad they didn't butcher the design like BMW did with the new 3 and 4 series. The major changes for the Oz models will be 64 colour ambient mood interior lighting, some extra safety features like camera blind spot monitoring etc. and a bit more leather on the dashboard. I believe we are also getting a remote start function on the key. I will be interested to see what the price of the current model will be when the new ones start coming in. Last years model, which is what I have, may be the best bargain for someone looking for a new car if you can get one. Stinger reigns supreme
