Powertrain Options
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
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.
