Kia K5 Reviews

Driving the Kia K5

From the get-go, you'll find yourself with an important decision with the Kia K5. With five available Kia K5 trim levels, you'll have to determine which has the features that best suit your lifestyle.

One commonality across all five Kia K5 trims is excellent fuel efficiency. In the standard Kia K5 LX trim, an EPA-estimated 29 city MPG and 38 highway MPG will keep you out on the road and free of constant fueling stops.* This even rings true for the EPA-estimated 27 city MPG and 37 highway MPG of the Kia K5 LXS, Kia K5 GT-Line, and Kia K5 EX trims.**

The Kia K5 is ultimately powered by two turbocharged engines. Depending on the Kia K5 trim level you choose, you'll be met by either a 1.6L 4-cylinder or 2.5L 4-cylinder engine. While the standard 1.6L engine is capable of a commendable 180 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, you can choose to give your Kia K5 an extra push with the 290 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque generated by the available 2.5L engine.

Smooth handling comes standard in the Kia K5, thanks to an 8-speed automatic transmission and six selectable drive modes (ECO, SPORT, SPORT+, COMFORT, SMART, and CUSTOM).

Kia K5 Interior Dimensions

Comfort comes naturally inside the Kia K5, thanks to a spacious interior cabin. Up front, you'll enjoy 46.1 inches of legroom, while your passengers in the back will have their fair share with 35.2 inches.

If you've got more than passengers to bring along, the 16 cubic-foot cargo space will give you plenty of room to tuck away your extra luggage or sports equipment.

Kia K5 Infotainment & Safety

Perhaps powerful performance and a spacious interior aren't your main focuses when you start your Kia car-buying process. Maybe you're more interested in the technological features and intelligent safety systems of your next Kia vehicle.

Well, the Kia K5 delivers there as well. Effortlessly integrate your smartphone with systems like Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Bluetooth® wireless technology. Once you've connected, you can access everything through the 8- or 10.25-inch central touchscreen.

Opting for certain Kia K5 trim levels can even open the door to a number of available, intelligent tech features, such as:

Now, what is the most important part of any new Kia vehicle? Sure, all the performance, interior, and technological features of the Kia K5 are nice, but the safety of you and your passengers will always be of paramount concern.

Luckily, your safety is the top priority of several standard systems in the Kia K5. With the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Cyclist Detection, and Junction Turning, your surroundings will always be intuitively accounted for.

Ever get nervous about switching lanes on a busy highway? The standard Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, and Lane Following Assist will work together to put those fears to rest.

Finally, each Kia K5 comes standard with a rearview monitor and dynamic parking guidance system to make parking anywhere from your local neighborhood to the congested city streets a breeze.
