2021 Kia K5: Kia?s Newest Midsize Contender is a Certified Stunner
2021 Kia K5 is built on the automaker’s new N3 platform. All-wheel drive and a turbocharged engine are available. Kia says buyers still want sedans despite the popularity of SUVs.
The automotive realm is shifting as I speak. Needless to say, we knew Kia was renaming the Optima to the K5, but we weren?t expecting it to be a stunner. Dare I say it looks better and more well-sorted than the new Hyundai Sonata" I?m beginning to notice a pattern here.
Parent company Hyundai was first to release the Kona with its alien-like intergalactic façade. And yet, Kia managed to create the Seltos compact SUV ? which rides on the same underpinnings as the Kona ? with its marriage of bold design and delicate details (Kia?s words, not mine).
Next came a duo of class-leading midsize SUVs: the Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride. The former inherited the out-of-this-world fascia of the Kona, while the latter is currently the winningest SUV in Kia?s history. Last year, the Hyundai Sonata made quite an impression with its elegant design and funky lighting signature. And now, we have the 2021 Kia K5.
Also based on the Sonata?s underpinnings, the new K5 is a refreshing sight, but it unsurprisingly resembles the Kia Stinger from many angles. And if you?re Kia, and you?re conceptualizing a new midsize sedan, infusing some Stinger DNA is a good start.
