2 Answers
The model equipped with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine has a fuel consumption of approximately 7.7 liters per 100 kilometers, while the model with a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine consumes about 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers. The Kia K5 is a mid-size sedan that comes with two engine options: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine. Below is relevant information about the Dongfeng Yueda Kia K5: 1. Overview: The Dongfeng Yueda Kia K5 is a sporty premium sedan designed by Peter Schreyer and positioned as a luxury four-door coupe. The first letter 'K' in its name stands for 'KIA' and the first letter of 'Kinetic' (power), symbolizing Kia's leading automotive philosophy and cutting-edge technology. The hybrid version of the K5 is priced higher and positioned in a more premium segment. 2. Exterior: The high waistline and strong tension design give the K5 a more dynamic appearance, exuding a sense of vitality and energy. This heavyweight model was officially launched on March 10, 2011, at the Kerry Hotel in Pudong, Shanghai. The car features significant exterior changes, making it more fashionable and avant-garde, thus highly competitive.
As a Kia K5 owner who has driven it for nearly three years, I'd like to share my real-world fuel consumption experience. My daily commute is mainly in urban areas with heavy traffic and frequent traffic lights, averaging about 11L/100km. On weekend highway trips, it drops to around 8L, which is significantly higher than the official claim of 8L urban and 6L highway. This difference might be due to AC usage or vehicle load. Through meticulous mileage recording after each full tank, my actual calculations consistently fluctuate between 10-12L, a situation echoed by many in K5 owner groups. Multiple factors affect consumption - summer AC use adds 1-2L extra, while underinflated tires also waste fuel. Real-world mileage varies by driver; adopting better habits like predictive braking and gentle acceleration can achieve 9-10L. While not the most fuel-efficient, the K5 maintains decent balance among B-segment sedans, and regular air filter replacements can further optimize performance.
