5 Favorite Features of the 2023 Kia K5

Few sport sedans offer the performance and comfortable interior features that the 2023 Kia K5 does. Along with available all-wheel drive, this popular fan-favorite comes with some of the most stunning tech features available today, as well as a wide range of both safety and driver-assist systems that help distinguish it from others on the road. With so many features to admire in this sporty sedan, the following five are some of our favorites. 5 Favorite Features of the 2023 Kia K5 1. A Sporty 290-HP Engine Although this edition of the K5 offers two stunning four-cylinder engine options, a 1.6-liter and a 2.5-liter, it's the latter engine that has drivers talking the most about it. Standard for the rally-inspired GT trim, this turbocharged engine not only produces 290 horsepower but also 311 pound-feet of torque, which lends it quick acceleration when taking off from stops and a 5.7-second 0 to 60 mph time. 2. A 10.25-Inch Display Few sedans offer an infotainment system with a screen as large as this one does, with 10.25 inches of full-color graphics at your fingertips. With this system, you can get detailed navigation instructions to destinations, connect different types of smartphones to the system using its Bluetooth wireless technology, or tune in to hundreds of Sirius XM podcasts and music channels, among many other functions. 3. A Smart Cruise Control A truly innovative feature, the Smart Cruise Control System utilizes Stop-and-Go technology to adjust the vehicle's speed based on the flow of traffic in your lane while maintaining a pre-set speed whenever possible. It also integrates with the available Highway Driving Assist feature, which can read speed limits posted on traffic signs while adapting the vehicle to keep its speed just below these limits. 4. First-Class Seating For a sporty sedan, this one offers an exceptionally luxurious cabin, with plenty of stylish and comfortable seating options. Along with both a 10-way power adjustable driver seat and a six-way passenger seat, both ventilation and heating settings are available, as well as SynTax fabric, which is both plush and easy to clean. 5. Choose a Drive Mode Drive Mode Select is a feature that helps optimize the vehicle to different driving conditions by allowing you to quickly toggle through different driving modes. Eco is for times when you want to save fuel, while both Sport and Sport+ enhance throttling and engine output for thrill rides. Comfort offers quieter and smoother rides, and while Custom lets you choose more unique settings, Smart takes all of the guesswork out by automatically switching to the most appropriate setting. Mixing sporty responsiveness with a stylish and comfortable interior, the 2023 K5 is a fun-driving sedan that's perfect for both highway adventures and city streets. Come take this exciting sedan out for a test drive today by speaking with our friendly staff at Crain Kia of Fayetteville, and get ready for a unique driving experience.

What Should You Do If Your Kia Gets Scratched or Dented?

Have you just noticed any car scratches or dents in your pristine Kia paintwork? Never fear: there are many effective ways to make even a scratch disappear, and even car dents can be fixed without too much trouble. The surest solution is to visit your local Kia dealer, where an experienced technician can promptly have your car looking like new. There are also a few options if you're keen to attempt a repair job of your own at home. What Should You Do If Your Kia Gets Scratched or Dented? Fixing Car Scratches Cars can get scratched by all kinds of things, including road debris, errant shopping carts, tree branches, playing kids, bumps with other vehicles, and improper washing. The best method of removing a scratch depends on its depth. Clear-Coat Scratches The shallowest of scratches only dig into the upper clear coat layer, making them relatively easy to repair. You can often fix these minor scratches by gently buffing them out with a polishing compound. Base-Coat Scratches When the base coat of paint has been scraped away, you'll usually be able to see the darker primer coat underneath. For these medium-level scratches, you might be able to repair them by gently sanding, reapplying the clear coat, and then buffing and waxing the area. But you might also have to apply a new layer of enamel paint before applying the clear coat. Primer Scratches Major scratches reach down into the primer and sometimes into the metal beneath. Here, you'll need to clean and then fill the scratch with a deep scratch filler product before repainting, reapplying the clear coat, buffing, and polishing. Allow Your Local Kia Dealer to Fix It for You Take great care when repairing any scratch as an unskilled hand can easily cause further aesthetic damage to the clear coat and paintwork. This is why scratches are usually a job best left to a technician. Fixing Car Dents Dents are fortunately less common than scratches. But falling objects, other car doors, accidents in tight parking spots, and fender benders can occasionally happen to the best of drivers. There are various tricks to removing dents but the most effective is usually with a good dent repair kit. These kits use suction cups to allow you to grip the dented area and heave it outward. Heating the plastic or metal with hot water or even a blow dryer beforehand can often help; the heat loosens the material, encouraging it to pop back out to its original form. Have your scratched or dented car repaired today by experienced mechanics at Crain Kia of Fayetteville. We pride ourselves on the outstanding customer service we provide, no matter your vehicle purchasing or servicing needs. Image via pixabay.com by Hans

Does Your Kia Have a Faulty Ignition Coil?

Each cylinder in your engine has an ignition coil that provides the spark plug with enough electrical voltage to ignite the fuel and power your car. This makes ignition coils essential for proper engine functioning. If one or more of your coils develops a fault, your engine will also start struggling. Here are a few common indications that you might need to visit your nearest Kia dealership to have a faulty ignition coil removed or repaired. Does Your Kia Have a Faulty Ignition Coil? Rough Idling When an ignition coil becomes fouled by carbon deposits or damaged by heat and vibrations, your engine will start misfiring. This makes idling feel much rougher than usual, with plenty of shaking and sputtering sounds. Sudden Stalling A badly misfiring engine can sometimes fail altogether. This can be dangerous if you suddenly stall in traffic or at a busy intersection. Trouble Starting When starting up, your engine needs a strong burst of electrical power. If one or more of the ignition coils fails to provide this voltage, your engine might take a while to start. At worst, it might fail to start entirely. Lack of Engine Power Misfiring engines also lose power: irregular sparks inside the combustion chambers aren't burning the fuel as steadily as before. As a result, acceleration drops, making it harder to overtake other vehicles. Poor Fuel Efficiency An engine with faltering ignition coils cannot burn fuel as well as it should. As a result, a full tank of gas will no longer provide as much bang for your buck. Thickened Exhaust Smoke With misfiring cylinders, some of the fuel is going unburned. This unburned fuel eventually starts to escape through the exhaust system, where it might drip out or sometimes ignite, turning into thick smoke. If the fuel ignites inside your catalytic converter, the cat will probably be destroyed. Blinking Check Engine Light The various engine problems resulting from problematic ignition coils will usually cause the check engine light on your instrument panel to light up. This warning light doesn't tell you the exact source of the problem, but a technician can quickly diagnose it for you. How Your Kia Dealer Can Repair a Faulty Coil Not all faulty coils need to be thrown out. It is sometimes possible to save a bad ignition coil by cleaning it. The technician will examine each coil for cracks, a burned-out electrode, or other structural damage. They may also use a multimeter to test the conductivity. Some coils might only be fouled by carbon residue, which can sometimes be cleaned away to restore the coil's function. But many bad coils need to be swapped out for new ones. Have your ignition coils inspected, repaired, or replaced today at Crain Kia of Fayetteville. We're a local family-owned dealership, and we aim to treat all our customers like family as well.

Just Down the Road: 4 Hidden Gems in and Around Fayetteville, AR

There is no shortage of delicious restaurants, chic boutiques, and magnificent sights in our beloved Fayetteville, AR, as evidenced by the well-trodden paths leading to the Hot Springs National Park and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American History. With so many incredible things to do and sights to behold, these hidden gems are often overlooked but never disappoint. Whether you're moving to our great city or just visiting, add these activities to your itinerary. Just Down the Road: 4 Hidden Gems in and Around Fayetteville, AR 1. Potter's House Thrift Unlike chain thrift stores, at 2703 N Drake Street, you will find a deeply caring and community-based business. Potter's house values the people that it serves and endeavors to act as a bridge between the socioeconomic and cultural lines of Fayetteville. This is evident in their ever-low prices and the multi-lingual staff, who are always prepared to lend a hand. We love this store not only for its core values and beliefs but also for its great deals and ultra-fair prices. From furniture to clothing, toys, and cute odds-and-ends, you're sure to find anything you might need for your new apartment. Better yet, you'll leave knowing that the proceeds from each sale help to fund community projects that help to make local schools a safe environment and encourage students to thrive. 2. Mellow Mushroom Pizza Hop in your 2023 KIA Carnival LX and head to 1460 E Augustine Lane for a delicious budget-friendly meal in an eccentric artist-friendly environment. Don't let the plain outdoor veneer deter you. Inside you'll find funky music from the age of the peace sign and bell-bottomed pants permeating the air alongside the mouthwatering smells of pizza, wings, burgers, and even some dairy-free options. All five of your senses will thank you! 3. Maxine's Tap Room Ask any local about their favorite late-night spot and they will direct you to Maxine's at 107 N Block Ave for quality cocktails and good times with friends - as always, drink responsibly and be sure to have a designated driver. It's easy to miss the little brick building hidden behind its unassuming front door, but the moment you step through the door you'll see why it has the whole city buzzing. 4. Devil's Den State Park Of course, many people know of the state park located at 11333 West Arkansas Hwy 74, but what most don't know about this hidden gem is that you can hike for miles and come across multiple caverns, springs, waterfalls, and gorgeous rock formations. While a state park may not seem like a local secret, gather your hiking gear and come see for yourself. You're sure to find some incredible secluded areas that will show you exactly how special this gem is. When you've explored every inch of the numerous caverns of Devil's Den and tried all the appetizers on the menu at Mellow Mushroom, stop by Crain Kia of Fayetteville to see what's new.

Discover the 2023 Kia Telluride

Ever since its introduction for the 2020 model year, Kia's Telluride has won the hearts of automotive journalists and families alike with its unbeatable combination of bold design, composed handling, and plentiful creature comforts. The mid-sized, three-row crossover can also be configured to be the perfect urban cruiser or rugged adventuring vehicle. Here's your quick introduction to the 2023 Kia Telluride! Basics About the 2023 Kia Telluride Power and Handling All Telluride trims share a naturally aspirated 3.8L Lambda II GDi V6 that produces 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. This performance gives the SUV strong acceleration and the ability to tow up to 5,500 pounds when combined with its smooth 8-speed automatic transmission. Multiple drive modes can help maximize efficiency, sharpen throttle response, or provide more traction on slippery surfaces. Kia's Torque Vectoring Cornering Control minimizes understeer by monitoring driver inputs and sending an appropriate amount of torque when needed. Available Active On-Demand All-Wheel Drive uses multiple sensors to detect changes in available traction and sends extra power to any wheel that is likely to slip. X-Pro Model When you intend to use the Telluride as your primary off-roader, you can't go wrong with its extra-rugged X-Pro trim. In addition to standard all-wheel drive, the model features exclusive 18-inch alloy wheels in a matte black finish, all-terrain tires, and 8.4 inches of ground clearance. Its available self-leveling rear suspension maintains the vehicle's excellent off-road capability as it carries very heavy loads. Also helping the X-Pro to stand out from other models in the lineup are its unique front grille with glossy black accenting and dark metallic trim on the front and rear fascias. Passenger Cabin Despite being priced much lower than luxury-brand SUVs, the Telluride houses a spacious interior that boasts tons of high-quality materials and perfect fitment of its components. For the second row, buyers can choose a pair of reclining captain's chairs or a bench seat that brings the maximum passenger seating up to eight. You'll find numerous compartments and cubbies throughout the cabin, including a large space hidden underneath the floor. The Telluride comes standard with dual-zone automatic climate control, durable, yet plush SynTex upholstery, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. A supremely luxurious experience is offered by the SX trim, which features rich leather trim, a 12-way power driver's seat with lumbar support, beautiful wood texturing, and interior mood lighting with 64 colors. Infotainment System No matter which of the Telluride's trims you choose, you'll be able to enjoy a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen that provides support for Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, SiriusXM satellite radio, and mobile Wi-Fi. Thanks to the display's large size and excellent responsiveness, it's especially easy to read the available navigation system's detailed maps and directions. If you don't want to disturb the rear passengers, you can utilize the audio system's quiet mode, which limits sound playback to the front row. For those times when you want to fill the cabin with amazingly crisp treble and deep bass, however, there's the available 10-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system. No other vehicle in the Telluride's segment offers such a compelling package! See the 2023 model for yourself by visiting Crain Kia of Fayetteville today!
