2022 Kia K5 Review

The Kia K5 is incredibly spirited, offering a performance that was inspired by the highly sought-after sports models you’ll find in Europe. It all starts under the hood with precise engineering that will bring joyous thrills to every commute you take.

Standardly, the K5 is powered by the 1.6L 180-horsepower turbocharged engine. With its paired 195 lb-ft of torque, it delivers power when you need it for a one-of-a-kind driving experience.

However, if you’re really looking to go toe-to-toe with those zippy European models, opt for the available 2.5L turbocharged powertrain. It blasts off with 290 horsepower and a best-in-class torque of 311 lb-ft, allowing you to reach 60 MPH in a quick 5.7 seconds (faster than most luxury models!).

Another showstopper of the 2022 K5 is available all-wheel drive, transforming this Kia sedan into a multi-terrain commuter. This system distributes power between the front and back wheels, giving you extra traction and control in a bevy of road conditions.

Progressive features aren’t just found under the hood of the K5. In your cabin, you’ll be surrounded by innovative technologies that all have the same goal: to elevate your driving experience in every way possible.

Hop inside and you’ll find the available 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Equipped with Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, SiriusXM®, and navigation, staying entertained, connected, and on track is as easy as swiping your finger.

UVO Link is also available for the K5, giving you access to your Kia sedan from your smartphone. This lets you unlock or lock your doors, start your engine, and even set the climate inside the K5 from pretty much everywhere. Plus, it also includes handy and helpful services such as:

• Connected Routing that uses real-time as well as historical traffic information to give you the best route possible.
• Amazon Alexa and Google Home connectivity, giving you remote capability from inside your house.
• Roadside Assistance for when you need help with your Kia vehicle the most.

Safety is the most important aspect of any set of wheels, and the engineers at Kia know this. This is why the K5 offers a suite of assurance-boosting driving aids that give you the peace of mind you need.

This package of systems, also known as Kia Drive Wise, utilizes the most up-to-date safety technologies to elevate awareness while helping to prevent collisions on the road. This includes standard and available features like:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
• Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control-Curve with Highway Driving Assist
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist-Rear
• Safe Exit Assist
