Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2021 Kia K5 4.73 / 5 stars.

The 2021 Kia K5 is an all-new sedan that replaces the Optima, featuring a stylish design, a smooth driving experience, and multiple powertrain options.
Why it stands out
The 2021 Kia K5 distinguishes itself in the midsize sedan market with its striking design and impressive performance capabilities. As a replacement for the Optima, the K5 brings a fresh identity to Kia, showcasing a fastback silhouette that is both sporty and elegant. The interior is well-appointed, featuring quality materials and a driver-focused layout that enhances the overall driving experience. While the K5 is praised for its smooth ride and stylish aesthetics, some drivers have noted that it doesn't deliver the sporty handling one might expect from its aggressive looks. The K5 offers a range of powertrains, including a 1.6-liter turbo engine that provides a commendable balance of power and fuel efficiency, making it a practical choice for daily driving. Additionally, the K5 comes equipped with a suite of safety features, ensuring peace of mind for drivers and passengers alike.
