Kia K5 Performance

The Kia K5 finds internal motivation in a responsive and efficient 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making 180 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. Power runs to the front wheels through an 8-speed automatic transmission. However, all-wheel drive is available with the GT Line trim for drivers seeking improved handling and four-season control.

Looking for something a little more invigorating? The K5 GT unlocks the sedan's true performance potential with a 2.5-liter turbo-four (290 hp, 311 lb-ft), a Quick Shift dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters, and sport-tuned suspension.
