What to be expected from 2024 Kia K5? Well, originally, this vehicle was originally named as the Optima, but then the company decided that they would be adding a new variant to the lineup, resulting in another nameplate being given for this K5. Although the company still produces the Optima, they are still making the K5 for the side. Kia plans on providing a new nameplate and also look for this K5, boosting up the technology, features, and style design.
The Updated Plan
Midsize sedans for families may not be as popular as before, but they are still considered favorable for certain target markets. The designs are bolder while the cabins are made to be super comfortable. Whether it’s for everyday use or long distance trip, the K5 should be able to provide the convenience and comfort that you need. The K5 comes with the similar good stuff.
There is a K5 GT for the 2024 model with improved technologies. For the 2024 Kia K5 GT and EX, you can expect standard features, such as navigation system. A (surround view) camera system would be provided as an option. There would be more technologies and additions to be expected, but mode details would be revealed later.
Design and Style
The future K5 comes with sleek roofline, broadband taillights, and metallic trim. The result is appealing and modern, framed stylishly with a (hawklike) grille and LED lighting.
Powertrain and Performance
The K5 is running on inline four turbo that is able to generate 180 hp. It would be paired with auto 8 speed transmission. The GT line comes with front wheel driving system that produces 290 hp. It’s possible that the company is offering all wheel driving system as the optional pick.
Although the K5 is originating from the Optima, it has longer wheelbase, only slightly. The longer wheelbase affects the space for the cabin, allowing the vehicle to accommodate 4 adult passengers comfortable. There is even a chance for the fifth person within the cabin.
The Interior Cabin
This vehicle basically can accommodate 5 people and enough cargo. You are free to choose whether you want the luxury and high end models with budget friendly types. The cabin is plush and comfy, and you can expect it to improve in the future model.Trims and Features
The basic K5 would be the GT with standard features (whose information is still unknown). The next one in the trim would be the LXS that comes with blind spot monitor and a split folding rear seat. The next higher trim would be the EX with LED headlights and synthetic leather upholstery.
