2023 Kia K5

The 2023 K5 lineup consists of five trim levels, starting with the LXS FWD, which features LED headlamps and alloy wheels measuring 16 inches. On the GT-Line FWD and GT-Line AWD, you'll find trim-exclusive body styling, LED fog lamps, LED taillights, and gloss-black machine-faced wheels measuring 18 inches. The EX adds a panoramic sunroof featuring a power sunshade and sound-absorbing window glass. Finally, there's the GT, which sits atop gloss-black wheels measuring 19 inches and has distinctive GT brake calipers. Stunning shades like Passion Red, Sapphire Blue, and Wolf Gray add the perfect finishing touch.

The 2023 K5 lineup's base engine is a 180-horsepower 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that generates 195 pound-feet of torque. The GT comes equipped with a 290-horsepower, 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that puts out 311 pound-feet of torque. This incredible output enables the GT to go from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds. Fuel-saving technology makes the GT's robust engine exceptionally efficient, giving it a 37 mpg highway rating.

Kia pairs the 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the larger four-cylinder teams up with a wet-type eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Both systems seamlessly shift through gears for precise acceleration and straightforward handling. FWD models feature a nimble front-wheel drive, and AWD models come with an all-wheel-drive system. With the K5's wide-track suspension, you'll enjoy smoother, more comfortable rides and incredibly responsive handling.

Inside the K5, you'll find seating for five, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the ride. The K5's premium seating surfaces and upscale finishes create a warm and cozy atmosphere, while high-tech displays add a modern, slightly futuristic touch. Available amenities include a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and 12-speaker sound system from Bose. Use the Kia Connected phone app to access your K5, roadside assistance, and Amazon Alexa remotely.

The 2023 Kia K5 gives you peace of mind with a forward collision-avoidance assist that can detect pedestrians and vehicles as they enter your path and provide additional braking support when it senses an impending collision. When a vehicle enters your K5's blind-spot zones, you'll receive a notification from the blind-spot collision-avoidance system, while the rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist scans for approaching traffic when driving in reverse. For a more laid-back driving experience, you can use the smart cruise control system to set your preferred cruising speed, and the system will maintain your speed while keeping your K5 a safe distance from other vehicles. The K5 also offers safe exit assistance, a surround-view monitor, and a tire pressure monitoring system.
