2021 Kia K5 | First Drive | Autotrader
1,032The all-new 2021 Kia K5 is a 2021 Kia Optima by any other name. The K5 replaces that highly successful midsize sedan, which spearheaded Kia’s U.S. success for nearly a decade and was also available as a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid. The new K5 is good though, especially when you see it's priced between $24,000 and $31,000.
While we at Autotrader like the Optima name, we can understand why Kia gave its mainstream midsize sedan a new name. With its fastback roofline, its added length, and its lower and wider stance, the K5 represents a very different type of midsize sedan, one that’s loaded with standard safety equipment and goes on sale this summer. If you’re wondering where the name comes from, Kia has used the name K5, K7, and other similar combinations in its home country of Korea for many years. Even though Kia is a Korean company, the K5 is built in the US in the state of Georgia.
