What's New in 2023?
Since the Kia K5 was an all-new model in 2021, Kia only made minor changes to this midsize car for 2023. A newly available surround-view camera system gives Carlsbad drivers a top-down view of the K5 and its surroundings to aid them in tight parking situations. K5 GT-Line trims now come with a larger, 10.3-inch touch screen and offer optional all-wheel drive.
Performance
The new Kia K5 rides gently over rough pavement in Escondido, thanks to its comfort-tuned wide-track suspension. Its standard 180-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine gives the K5 plenty of zip for regular driving, but an optional 290-horsepower turbo-four motor in GT models enables quicker get-up-and-go. Front-wheel drive comes standard in the K5, but all-wheel drive is available.
