After almost four years, KIA presented a refreshed version of the K5 model intended for the global market. This car is already available in the South Korean market.

KIA K5 is powered by a 2.0L gasoline engine with 160 hp (118 kW), and a 1.6L turbo gasoline engine with 180 hp (132 kW) is also available. Also, customers will be able to choose between a 2.0L LPI (Liquid Propane Injection) engine with 146 hp (107 kW) and a 2.0L engine with 152 hp (112 kW) combined with an electric motor (38.6 kW) for a total power of 204 hp (151 kW).

The car will be offered in two body colors, Wolf gray and Moonscape matte gray, and the exterior design will not differ much from its predecessor. The front and rear lights have been redesigned like those on the electric models, there is also a new front bumper with larger intakes, new tailpipes, but also newly designed rims in sizes from 16″ to 19″.

The interior of the new Kia K5 has undergone several changes. There are two curved screens on the dashboard, the gear lever has been replaced by a small rotary controller, and the car has also received a fingerprint sensor positioned on the center console. There’s also a new head-up display, added soundproofing material and more support for over-the-air upgrades, as well as better high-resolution cameras.
