2021 Kia K5: Efficiency & Performance Specs
When you start your search of the 2021 Kia K5, you'll likely come across its five trim levels first. The LX, LXS, GT-Line, EX, and GT trims each offer some small unique changes and upgrades.
Across all five, however, remarkable fuel efficiency remains a welcomed constant. The EPA-estimated 29 city/38 highway MPG of the standard LX trim undoubtedly leads the way.* The EPA-estimated 27 city/37 highway MPG of the LXS, GT-Line, and EX follow right behind.*
Dependability is far from the only impressive performance feature of the K5. In fact, that fuel economy is only achievable thanks to the turbocharged engines under the hood.
Trim | Engine | Horsepower | Torque |
LX, LXS, GT-Line, EX | 1.6L 4-Cylinder | 180 | 195 lb-ft |
GT | 2.5L 4-Cylinder | 290 | 311 lb-ft |
To top it all off, the K5 features additional handling capabilities, like its 8-speed automatic transmission or the six selectable drive modes (ECO, SPORT, SPORT+, COMFORT, SMART, CUSTOM). These features make your rides as smooth as they are efficient.
