The 2023 K5 is worth considering if all-wheel drive is important to you. This value-packed midsize sedan has plenty to offer, from comfortable seating and loads of standard features to a smooth ride. Keep reading to learn all about which amenities Kia packed into this car.
For 2023, Kia reshuffled the K5's lineup and dropped the former base LX trim. It now stands at four, including the LXS, GT-Line, EX, and GT. This bold and dynamic sport sedan will make all your friends stop and stare, from its available 19-inch gloss black alloy wheels to its panoramic sunroof. The GT-Line offers a unique style with aggressive, trim-specific front and rear bumpers and a spoiler.
Kia offers the 2023 K5 with a choice of two engine options, including the stock setup, which features a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that's good for 180 horsepower. Models with this engine pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The top-tier GT trim offers a 2.5-liter turbo-four that puts out even more at 290 horsepower. Regardless of which powertrain you get, both transmissions have earned plenty of praise for their smooth shifting performance.
Kia designed the K5 to look sporty, yet it delivers a comfortable ride. You'll appreciate its competent and secure handling while maneuvering through rush hour traffic. The turbo is definitely more fun to drive. However, both setups offer smooth sailing over road imperfections. Even long commutes and extended road trips are pleasant behind the wheel of the new K5. The GT-Line edition is available with all-wheel drive for added confidence during slippery weather conditions.
Kia designed the K5 to look sporty from the outside and be comfortable on the inside. The cabin prioritizes the passenger's experience with its sharp, modern style and well-bolstered seats. Everything feels well-built, and with standard features like dual-zone automatic climate control and remote start, there's a lot to like about this new model. There's spacious seating for five across two rows, and even the back row has room to stretch your legs. The K5's trunk offers 16 cubic feet of storage room, which leads the pack in the midsize car segment. It's easy to stow large items inside, thanks to the trunk's low liftover height, wider opening, and standard hands-free power lid. If you need more space, fold down the 60/40-split rear seats.
Kia's UVO system is one of the easiest to operate of any automaker. Its menus are organized, its interface is intuitive, and you'll appreciate the quick response times while navigating. The standard package features an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, voice recognition, and four USB ports.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave Kia's new K5 a five-star overall safety rating, thanks to its long list of standard driver-assistance features. You'll get lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and forward collision warning. There's also a rearview camera, a driver-attention monitor, and automatic high-beam headlights. Adding the GT-Line Premium package piles on more safety features, including cyclist detection, stop-and-go adaptive cruise control, intersection assist, lane-centering assist, and LED headlights.
