If you are looking for a sporty midsize sedan that is engaging to drive, safe, and a great value for the money, the 2023 Kia K5 should be on your list.
Impressive performances
The 2023 Kia K5 is one of the most fun-to-drive vehicles in its category due to its powerful available engine and its advanced suspension and steering systems that have been tuned to deliver a balance between comfort and handling. With 290 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, the 2,5L turbocharged engine makes the K5 GT the most powerful four-cylinder mid-size sedan and the torquiest, no matter the engine. This provides smooth and quick accelerations that make driving on a twisty road more fun while keeping the fuel consumption lower around town by not having to work the engine as hard to get moving. The standard 1,6L turbocharged engine is worth mentioning since it also has more torque than its competitors and makes for a smooth and relaxing driving experience.
One of the safest in its class
The 2023 Kia K5 is one of the safest midsize sedans on the road as attested by the IIHS, which gave it the Top Safety Pick + award last year. This is due to its many active and passive safety features that include nine airbags, the lane-keeping assist system, the forward collision warning system with intersection monitoring that can prevent a collision with an oncoming vehicle when turning left, and the blind spot monitoring system that can apply the brakes to slow down the K5 when another vehicle is in the blind spot and the lane lines are crossed inadvertently.
More value for the money
The 2023 Kia K5 gives you more for your money by having more standard equipment than its competitors despite having a lower base price than many of them. Even when moving towards the higher trim levels, the K5 benefits from more features when comparing it with other models priced about the same. Some of the features that are available on the K5 include the 12,3-inch instrument cluster, the ventilated front seats, and the 8-speed dual-clutch transmission with all-wheel drive.
