The Kia K5 is among the most compelling models in its class, proving that a midsize sedan doesn't have to be boring. It offers attractive accommodations, sporty styling, and excellent features.

Princeton-area drivers can buy or lease the latest Kia K5 models here at Ciocca Kia.
Performance
The Kia K5's refresh gives most models a new 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (195 horsepower, 181 pound-feet of torque) with 11 more horsepower than the outgoing 1.6-liter turbo-four. A quick-shifting eight-speed transmission optimizes efficiency and responsiveness, and GT-Line models offer an optional all-wheel-drive system.
Princeton enthusiasts seeking more engaging daily drives can look to the GT trim for a genuine sports sedan experience.
