If you're looking for a sedan in West Islip that's practical and also offers something a little extra, the new Kia K5 is an excellent choice. It feels far from ordinary, which might be a bit of a surprise since it has an affordable price tag here at Atlantic Kia.
Learn MoreYou'll have a choice of two engines with the K5. The first one is standard on most models. It's a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine that can provide you with 180 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. This is a good amount of power for traveling around Babylon. The eight-speed automatic transmission makes for smooth shifting. One notable thing about this engine is that it's available with all-wheel drive. If you think that you'll be dealing with icy, snowy or otherwise slippery conditions, it might be a smart move to get all-wheel drive.
The other engine option isn't available with all-wheel drive, but it is very capable. It's a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine that can deliver 290 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. It's paired with a sport-tuned suspension as well as an eight-speed dual clutch transmission. You can use the paddle shifters whenever you'd like to have more control.
Both of these choices are solid ones. The larger engine is going to be a lot of fun to have, but you'd still be more than fine with the standard engine.
Sitting fairly low to the ground, the K5 feels sporty and looks like a fast car. It can have 16-, 18- or 19-inch wheels. The available quad-tip dual exhaust, LED front fog lights and gloss black rear spoiler can all add to the aesthetic. A few trims come with panoramic sunroofs and Smart Trunks. A panoramic sunroof can make the cabin feel so much more open, and it's something you can appreciate every time you get in the car. The Smart Trunk opens up automatically when you stand behind it with the key fob on you. Having one of these trunks can be useful when you're weighed down with bags or other items.
Any one of our new Kia K5s can keep you safe. The car comes standard with forward collision-avoidance assist, lane keeping assist and driver attention warning. These systems work to reduce the likelihood of getting involved in certain types of accidents. If you're someone who wants to have even more safety components, considering upgrading to a trim with blind spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert. Not only can the K5 watch out for vehicles that you might not be able to see, but it can also dynamically adjust your braking and steering so that you stay out of harm's way.
This Kia provides you with a touchscreen and smartphone compatibility. Depending on the trim, there would either be an 8.0-inch or a 10.25-inch touchscreen. The larger display comes with SiriusXM® so that you can stay entertained, and it has a built-in navigation system, which can help you avoid traffic and travel more efficiently. Every infotainment package is equipped with Bluetooth® and voice recognition, making it easier to keep your hands on the wheel.
At Atlantic Kia, we carry all five Kia K5 trims:
