The All-New Kia K5 Is a Sedan of the Future

Sedans make a lot of sense for many of our New Boston, TX area customers. While they're certainly practical, they can also be much more than that. Take the Kia K5, for example. It's a sleek, modern vehicle that's fast, has a sophisticated cabin, and is equipped with many high-tech components. At Classic Kia in Texarkana, we're proud to carry this car in our inventory.

Performance

Every Kia K5 runs on a turbocharged engine. Almost all of the trims have 1.6-liter turbo engines, and the GT trim benefits from having a 2.5-liter turbo engine. With the smaller version, there's an impressive amount of capability. The 1.6-liter turbo can generate 180 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. It's been paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Notably, all-wheel drive is available with the 1.6-liter turbo. This would be something to think about for anyone in Hope, AR who may run into slippery conditions on occasion.

The larger engine offers a thrilling ride. For those of you in Hope, AR who love how it feels to accelerate and want to have a car that you can have fun in, this component will meet your expectations. This turbo engine, which is only found on the GT trim, can deliver 290 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. Kia has matched it to an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. In addition to having more power, the GT has paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel, enhanced brake calipers, and a sport-tuned suspension.

Safety

We want all of our passengers to be safe as they drive around the Queen City area. We're pleased that the K5 comes standard with driver-assist technologies that will be actively working to protect you. First, every trim has forward collision-avoidance assist with pedestrian detection. This makes it much less likely that you'd accidentally hit a vehicle or pedestrian in your path. Every K5 also has lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, automatic high beams, and driver attention warning. On higher trims, there are blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. These systems come with avoidance assist features as well, so that they can not only warn you but also help you mitigate the situation.

Interior

Everyone can be comfortable driving around Ashdown in a Kia K5. The front row has an especially generous amount of space; taller drivers are sure to notice this. In the back, there's just over 35 inches of legroom for your passengers. The lower trims start out with cloth seats, and our higher trims have synthetic leather upholstery. Available features include power-adjustable front seats, heated and ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel.

Technology

When it comes to technology, Kia knows what it's doing. The company has integrated many advanced components into this car. Even on the base trim, there is an eight-inch touchscreen. Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay®, and Bluetooth® are all standard. Our higher trims can have four total USB ports as well as wireless charging, a Bose audio system with 12 speakers, and 10.25-inch touchscreens.

Bigger often means better in the technology world, and with vehicle touchscreens, it's no different. Having the larger touchscreen means that it's easier to read the text and interact with the screen. Further, navigation, SiriusXM, and UVO link remote connectivity are available with this Kia. There could be multiple ways in which you can keep your passengers entertained and stay in touch with others from the road.

Exterior Features

From any angle, the Kia K5 is a stunning vehicle. It sits low to the ground and has an aerodynamic shape. Our GT-Line and GT trims have black accents and more aggressive details in the front and back. Some of our K5s have panoramic sunroofs, and many have "smart trunks." This kind of trunk can open automatically when it detects the presence of the vehicle's smart key right behind it.
