It may be hard to believe that Kia’s K5 is offered at such an affordable price when you consider its handsome and sporty styling, brilliant handling, and wealth of standard and optional equipment. The mid-sized sedan is great fit for families with its spacious, practical interior, but it’s still capable of delivering the thrills, especially in its GT trim. Here’s your introduction to the 2023 Kia K5!

Powertrain Options

Delivering 180 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, the K5’s turbocharged 1.6L inline-4 engine promises strong acceleration and passing ability. Plus, it can achieve excellent fuel economy at an EPA-rated 37 MPG highway. The motor is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that features several drive modes for more efficient performance or sharper response. It even allows the driver to customize their own drive mode.

If you’re an enthusiast, you’ll definitely want to consider the K5 lineup’s GT model. Exclusive to the trim is a 2.5L turbo inline-4 that produces 290 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque and an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. That impressive performance means the car can go from 0 to 60 in under six seconds. Most models come standard with front-wheel drive, but the GT-Line adds the option of an intelligent all-wheel drive system.

Chassis

The K5’s wide-track suspension, consisting of a MacPherson strut in front, a multi-link setup in the rear, and stabilizer bars, ensures that you’ll be staying in control on any type of road. Its lightweight, yet sturdy construction and well-balanced steering further enhance the car’s handling characteristics. GT models get a stiffer sport-tuned suspension and larger brakes with unique calipers.

Interior

Get into the K5’s supportive driver’s seat and you’ll be greeted by a sophisticated interior, including an attractive dashboard housing advanced displays and easily accessible controls. The beautiful accenting, technical embossing, and available wood-graphic trim are examples of Kia’s strong attention to detail. In addition to standard dual-zone climate control, the car is available with heated front seats, ambient LED lighting, and SynTex upholstery.

The K5 boasts plenty of passenger space with a volume of 105.3 cubic feet and over 35 inches of rear legroom. Its cargo area provides 16 cubic feet of space and easy access thanks to its Smart Trunk feature, which automatically opens the hatch when you stand behind it with your Kia Smart Key.

Infotainment System

Most models are equipped with a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen system that recognizes voice commands and integrates with your smartphone through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Its Bluetooth wireless technology is capable of pairing with multiple devices for added convenience. For wired connections, both the front and second rows feature dual USB ports. Available SiriusXM satellite radio provides hours of listening enjoyment.

Audiophiles can choose to add a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system, which was specially tuned for the K5’s cabin.

With its stunning looks and incredible value, the K5 is a true standout! Get in touch with Koons Kia of Owings Mills today and schedule a test drive with the 2023 model!
