Like the title says, wondering if the GT in Canada comes with acoustic glass all around.

I know here in the US it doesn't. I just had to have my windshield replaced, and it ended up running about $1,200. It's way too expensive to give the car the glass all the way around.

Sidenote---a great place for K5 and Kia stuff in general to look at is the Kia subreddit. I'm on there a lot and it's pretty awesome and full of information for K5 and kia owners in general.

Heated windshield is expensive but nice to have in winter months.

 

[Cojax]

Yeah it is. They don't have that here though unfortunately.

I think front windshield is acoustic but not sure what that means ...i had a Lexus 250ux with heated windshield and was awesome..

So this is what I found. Since I don't have the car yet (getting it this coming week)
Can anyone confirm the markings on the windshield and side windows?

Wolf grey gt-line, it's coming from West Point factory so will still be a while no date yet

The difference between acoustic and non acoustic is the fact that the only thing it does is reduce road/wind noise. drastically. I hear some road noise but without the windshield it would drive me crazy and I would return the car. Essentially, it would sound like an airplane.

I find my 2015 sxt was loud inside.... Even with "laminated" widnshield

 

[1st K5]

Any complaints about wind noise on the GT?
Read some posts about the ex and gt line with wind noise coming from driver window.

 

[Wolfgrey]

The GT is a quiet car I don't have any wind noise.Here's a pic of the windscreen info.

 

[1st K5]

Windshield says laminated on mine. Driver and passenger side doesn't but has other symbols. Not sure what they mean.

 

[Wolfgrey]

The symbol in the lower right corner means acoustic glass.

 

[1st K5]

Which one?

 

[Wolfgrey]

Look at the picture I posted above. The symbol with the speaker.

 

[Wolfgrey]

Not sure about the side or rear glass.
