New Kia K5 for Sale in Trenton, NJ
Just a few short years after taking over for the Optima, the Kia K5 has already earned recognition as a top contender in the midsize sedan class. The K5 complements its striking style with a classy and accommodating cabin, comfortable and competent driving dynamics, and a wealth of appealing amenities and tech. It also offers multiple powertrain options, including available all-wheel drive and supremely sporty GT trim level. New car shoppers from Levittown, PA, to South Brunswick Township can find this superb sedan for sale or lease here at Ciocca Kia.
Performance
Most Kia K5 models find their motivation in a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine making 180 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission drives the front wheels, maintaining power in the ideal rev range for optimal responsiveness and efficiency. However, you can select all-wheel drive as an option for the GT Line, giving you improved handling and all-weather control.
Looking for something more thrilling to match the K5's aggressive styling? The GT trim level unlocks the sedan's sports-car potential with a potent 2.5-liter turbo-four powerplant (290 hp, 311 lb-ft) and performance upgrades like an eight-speed Quick Shift dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shifters, sport-tuned suspension, and upgrade brakes to help keep the extra performance under control.
Design and Interior
In a segment where playing it safe is the norm, the Kia K5 stands out for all the right reasons. Its sleek fastback profile evokes athletic refinement, while its bold front fascia makes a strong statement with its signature "Tiger Nose" grille, narrowed headlamp clusters, and chicane-style turn signals/daytime running lights.
Inside the cabin, the K5 offers attractive and inviting accommodations, highlighted by modern design elements, ample passenger space, and nicely cushioned yet supportive seats that provide long-distance comfort. It also delivers impressive practicality for a non-SUV, with 16 cubic feet of trunk space and 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks. Numerous comforts and conveniences come standard, including proximity keyless entry, remote engine start, dual-zone automatic climate control, and rear USB charge ports. For drivers seeking a more luxurious sedan experience, higher trim levels offer niceties like leatherette or leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, driver-position memory, and a panoramic sunroof.
Infotainment and Driver Assist Technology
The K5's cutting-edge infotainment system makes it easy to stay in touch, enjoy your favorite music and podcasts, or find the ideal route to your destination. Base models include an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. However, all higher trims trade wireless smartphone connectivity for a larger 10.25-inch display with advanced navigation. You'll also get a wireless charging pad and Kia Connect, which allows you to use your smartphone to remotely lock and unlock the doors, start or stop the engine, and even pre-climatize the cabin so that it's the perfect temperature when you're ready to depart.
No matter which trim you select, you'll receive the enhanced confidence and convenience of Kia Drive Wise-a suite of driver-assist technologies that monitor your surroundings and help you better detect and respond to potential hazards. Standard driver aids include:
