Westside Kia Talks about the Upcoming K5

KATY, Texas - Oct. 19, 2020 - PRLog -- Did Kia Motor recently release more information about the upcoming 2020 Kia 5 (also called Kia Optima, FastBack Sedan)? It can be expected to be introduced to the global market in the second half of 2020.

The next-generation Kia Optima/K5 sedan now has bolder, feature-packed, more technically enhanced and all-new powertrain options.

According to South Korean carmakers' data, all 1.6-liter T-GDi and 2.0-litre MPI engines are combined as standard with a 6-speed or 8-speed automatic transmission. Still, the 2.5-liter T-GDi engine is also compatible with the new 8-speed wet-type dual-clutch transmission (8DCT).

The new Kia K5 sedan is expected to come with a more driver-oriented interior and minimal cabin design. Kia Motors say the more comprehensive dashboard and its horizontal symmetry give it a sense of extra space, while the cabin offers a selection of tactile objects.

It will also feature Kia's state-of-the-art infotainment system, including a touch screen display in front of the driver, which is physically connected to the device cluster. Kia offers a 10.25-inch touch screen option with the new 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12-speaker Bose surround-sound audio system.

2021 Kia K5 (https://www.westsidekia.com/2021-kia-k5.html) also comes with a voice command system that can offer the driver with features, including climate control, electric windows, an audio system, and heating for the steering wheel, seats, and rear windshield.

It features an 8.0-inch head-up display with driver information in a small glass panel near the driver's sight. The system displays alerts with various car driver technologies, vehicle speed details, and detailed navigation instructions.

K5 is the first Kia available with the company's new Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA), allowing drivers to use their key fob to move their car autonomously from front and rear parking.

Other standard bits include nine airbags, Kia's Vehicle Stability Management (VSM), and electronic stability controls to help the driver maintain control while braking and cornering.
