The Kia K5 and the Hyundai Sonata are steadfast, athletic, and savvy. These attributes are shown throughout their entire beings, especially in their performance. These sedans have a lot in common; however, the added dynamism of the K5 will elevate every drive.
The Kia and the Hyundai both have two engines available. In fact, if you're ready to satisfy your need for speed, you can do so with their matching 2.5-liter turbocharged engines that produce 290 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque!
However, when you compare their standard engines, it's the Kia K5 that provides dynamism. The Kia's 1.6-liter turbocharged engine exhibits up to 195 lb-ft of torque. On the other hand, the Hyundai's 2.5-liter engine outputs 181 lb-ft of torque.
Why is higher torque better? Well, when you're climbing steep hills to get to your town's favorite lookout, you'll have an easier time doing so in the Kia K5. Plus, you may experience a livelier start with more torque on board as well.
You deserve to satisfy the performance you crave. This is easy to do in the Kia K5 thanks to standard front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive. The Hyundai Sonata is only available as a front-wheel drive model.
So, if you want a vehicle capable of a bit more oomph and better traction on less-traveled paths, the Kia K5 is the option for you.
Driving to your next staycation spot is half the fun of the entire trip. With comfortable cabins and spacious trunks in either model, you'll have plenty of space for your loved ones or your most prized possessions to help get the party started.
The Kia K5 and the Hyundai Sonata make room for up to five people, and they do it with roughly the same dimensions. Climb aboard and find generous headroom and legroom, whether you opt for the first or second row:

---|---|---|
First-Row Legroom

46.1 inches | 46.1 inches | |
Second-Row Legroom

35.2 inches | 34.8 inches |
The difference isn't much, but the K5 offers more room in the rear row for passengers to stretch their legs. It does this thanks to a slightly longer wheelbase: 112.2 inches, compared to the Sonata's 111.8 inches.
With identically sized trunks, the K5 and Sonata each offer 16 cubic feet of cargo space. This is plenty of space for duffel bags, backpacks, a week's worth of groceries, and more! Go on, pack for a weekend away and enjoy the extra convenience of available hands-free smart trunks too.
The Kia K5's and the Hyundai Sonata's in-cabin technologies provide more than just connectivity; they also provide drivers with practicality! From hands-free systems to personalization tools, these sedans put you at the forefront of innovation.
The interiors of the Kia K5 and the Hyundai Sonata are very similar. Both models equip 8-inch touchscreen displays or available 10.25-inch displays on higher trim levels. Their infotainment systems both support Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, which may be easier to use in the K5 thanks to standard Voice Recognition. The Hyundai's comparable feature is only available with an upgrade.
Behind the steering wheel, you'll have a display that links you to your vehicle. However, the Kia's instrument cluster is 4.2 inches, while the Hyundai's is 3.5 inches.
You'll have similar comfort and convenience amenities in the Kia K5 and the Hyundai Sonata; however, they come standard on the Kia sedan, while they're available with an upgrade on the Hyundai sedan. Features include:
- Smart Key with Push Button Start and Remote Start
- Dual-Zone Auto Climate Control
These features are available on higher trims of the Sonata.
If you can't imagine a drive without additional performance, interior, and technology benefits, we recommend the Kia K5 over the Hyundai Sonata! You'll enjoy the latest in automotive innovation with this savvy Kia sedan.
