Performance and Fuel Economy
The Kia K5 offers two turbocharged engines to choose from, both of which will give you plenty of power and great fuel economy.
The standard engine under the hood of the Kia K5 is a turbocharged 1.6L 4-cylinder engine with 180 horsepower. It works with an 8-speed automatic transmission to deliver an EPA-estimated 29 city/38 highway MPG.1
Standard on the GT trim, the second engine option is a turbocharged 2.5L 4-cylinder engine. It produces a whopping 290 horsepower when working with an 8-speed dual clutch transmission. To help you control the shifting process, this trim also offers steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. This extra power still comes with good fuel economy, earning an EPA-estimated 24 city/32 highway MPG.1
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) is available for those who want it. AWD can help you handle different weather conditions and distribute power to the wheels that need traction.
Interior Comforts
The interior of the Kia K5 is both comfortable and stylish. It seats five with seating trims like cloth and SynTex seating material. An Integrated Memory System for the driver's seat is available, letting you save your driving position no matter who drives your Kia K5.
You've got plenty of color options, too, so you can customize the Kia K5 to make it more you. Choose from options, like:
- Chestnut Brown
- Red
- Ash Blue
- Black
Standard dual-zone automatic climate control lets you split your Kia K5 into two temperature zones, so everyone can be comfortable without any compromises.
Opt for the leather-trimmed steering wheel or LED interior lighting for an extra dash of style.

Technology is a big part of the Kia K5. There's plenty of it, from the standard infotainment system to the Kia Drive Wise driver-assist and safety suite.
The interior of the Kia K5 features an infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen, Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay®, and Bluetooth® capability. You can upgrade this system to include a larger, 10.25-inch touchscreen and an in-vehicle navigation system! Use all of this via voice recognition, so you can keep your hands on the wheel.
