If you’re looking for a reasonably priced, well-equipped sedan, look no further than the new 2022 Kia K5. This turbocharged Kia packs a lot of interesting features, it’s comfortable, and it’s fun to drive. It’s ideal for small families that travel a lot throughout the country. Keep reading and learn everything you need to know about the new Kia K5.
The Basics of the 2022 Kia K5
First of all, this vehicle is available in multiple configurations, including LX, EX, and GT. You can have it as front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, depending on your needs. The vehicle is powered by a 1.6L turbocharged engine that produces 180 horsepower for all configurations, except the GT trim. This engine works in tandem with an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
The GT configuration is the most powerful in the K5 lineup. It’s powered by a 2.5L engine that produces 290 horsepower. A more sophisticated, double-clutch 8-speed automatic transmission helps the engine put all that power on the road. If your budget is higher and you want a faster sedan, go for the GT version and get the most out of your Kia K5.
Pricing Range
When it comes to prices, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. The LX trim is the least expensive and it has a starting price of around $23,690. The GT model is the most expensive with a starting price of $31,090. The other models will fit somewhere in between. Configurations such as LXS FWD, GT-Line FWD, and EX bring more and more features, so it’s worth spending a few more thousand dollars for extra comfort and convenience.
New Technologies
One of the most exciting innovations of the new Kia K5 is the surround-view camera system. It allows the driver to see all around the vehicle using four cameras installed around the car. This is really helpful if you need to fit your Kia in a tight parking space. This technology is only available for the EX and GT configurations, and it can give drivers more peace of mind.
Top trims also incorporate other interesting features such as a wireless phone charger and one-touch auto up/down power windows for the passenger and rear occupants. The more affordable options have one-touch auto up/down power windows for the driver only.
Safety Features
When it comes to safety, you might be pleased to find out that all configurations come with a rearview monitor to help you park your car easier. You also get Hill Start Assist Control. This is a system that helps drivers move their car safely on a hill, without rolling backward. 4-wheel ABS is also offered as standard for all configurations and this technology makes your Kia K5 safer when braking on slippery roads.
As you can see, the new Kia K5 comes with a lot of safety features and tech packs, so it’s normal to want one right away. If this is the case for you as well, contact us today at Crain Kia and we’ll help you find the right Kia vehicle for you and your family!
