2 Answers
Kia K5 is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.6T turbocharged engine. The 2.0L engine has a maximum power of 118 kW and a maximum torque of 193 Nm, while the 1.6T engine delivers a maximum power of 132 kW and a maximum torque of 265 Nm. The Kia K5 is a luxury sports coupe under Dongfeng Yueda Kia, with dimensions of 4855 mm in length, 1860 mm in width, and 1475 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2805 mm. In terms of exterior design, the Kia K5 features the brand's signature front grille, giving the car a sporty overall appearance. The sleek and dynamic lines, 18-inch oversized wheels, and the tiger-nose grille highlight the bold and avant-garde design concept of the K5.
I've studied the engine configurations of the Kia K5. The domestic version mainly features two turbocharged engines: a 1.5T and a 2.0T. The 1.5T engine utilizes Hyundai-Kia's CVVD (Continuously Variable Valve Duration) technology, which intelligently adjusts valve opening duration at different RPMs. This ensures both a 170 horsepower output and a fuel consumption of around 6L per 100km. The 2.0T variant delivers 240 horsepower with a torque of 353 N·m, paired perfectly with an 8-speed automatic transmission for highway driving. Both engines comply with China's National VI emission standards and have reasonable maintenance costs, with minor services costing around 500 RMB. If you're on a budget, the 1.5T offers excellent overall value for money.
