2021 Kia K5 Review - The K5 is Kia's new midsize sedan formerly known as the Optima. For the past two decades, the Optima has offered attractive styling and fairly good value for money. With this redesigned 2021 model, Kia decided to go all-in and give it a new name too.
It's rarefied that we suggest one of the top vehicle passementerie levels, but the EX is our elite. You get a unsparing identify of criterial features, and it's also legal for any enviable features that you can't get on the inferior grace levels.
The new 2021 Kia K5 is a good sedan. Serving as Kia's replacement for the Optima, it offers a swath of standard tech features, plenty of cargo space, and a comfortable ride. It also has one of the best predicted reliability ratings in the midsize car class.
This Kia comes with a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder stock engine that shoe out 180 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of force. Time seemingly least for a sedan, this turbo-four provides plenty of powerfulness for unremarkable use. It's paired with a smooth-shifting eight-speed mechanical transmittal.
The optional 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder increases the K5's power output to 290 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. This engine comes with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This powertrain won’t be available until late 2020.
