2021 Kia K5 Vs 2021 Hyundai Sonata
- Interiors– Most people will expect the 2021 Hyundai Sonata to be the more understated, refined, and mature offering, and Kia’s sibling to be the more enthusiast-focused vehicle. Instead, the interior of the vehicle is in complete contrast to the previous impression. The all-black interior of the Sonata features suede inserts and red accent piping and stitching on the seats, large thumb rests and paddle shifters on the steering wheel, and a push-button switch. A sporty option with red gauges and slanted text to emphasize speed is available for the customizable all-digital instrument cluster. The K5, on the other hand, has light gray faux leather seats and armrests in front of a black dashboard and black door panels, with matte faux wood extending from the dashboard to the front and rear door panels. lower edges. With a classic old-school gear stick and analog gauges flanking a small driver information display, the K5 has a more traditional but sleek aesthetic.
- Rear Legroom and Seat Comfort– The Kia K5 has a wheelbase of 0.4 inches over the Hyundai Sonata, giving it a similar advantage in rear legroom, and it manages to have 2 inches more hip room front and rear. When seated, however, both cars feel the same size, with the rear being the particularly roomy seat. Although its seats offer a similar level of support and comfort, the Kia seems a lot more luxurious, especially in the back.
- Engines– Both vehicles are powered by identical 1.6-liter I4 turbochargers producing 180 hp and 195 lbs.-ft of torque. 8-speed automatic transmissions can also be found in both. There is also a 2.5 liter 4 cylinder engine with 191 hp and 181 lbs.-ft for the Sonata. For 2021, a 290 hp, 311 lbs.-ft, 2.5-liter turbocharged engine is available for the new in-line model.
- Handling– The Sonata’s tires have significantly more traction and significantly less tire squeal than the K5. Buyers can expect the K5 suspension to feel a tad bouncier. In comparison, the Sonata allows drivers to attack corners at greater pace.
- Trims to Select- Expect to get the following trims for the 2021 Kia K5:
- LX
- EX
- GT
- LXS
- GT-Line
The same number of trims is available for the 2021 Hyundai Sonata, namely:
- SEL
- SE
- Limited
- SEL Plus
- N Line
- New in 2021– For the Kia K5, the 2021 vehicle was the result of the Optima restyling. Pirelli P Zero all-season tires on 19-inch wheels, on the other hand, are now standard on the SEL Plus variant of the 2021 Venue. When the car is parked side-by-side, the SEL, SEL Plus and Limited have a bright warning safe exit standard that notifies occupants of oncoming traffic.
- Drivetrain Options– AWD (All-Wheel-Drive) has been made available with the 2021 Kia K5 for the first time. When compared to this, the 2021 Hyundai Sonata is available only as a FWD (Front-Wheel-Drive).
- Exterior Design– Both the Sonata and the K5 feature a bold and aggressive exterior design. While the Sonata has a wider black front grille, it’s slimmer on the K5. Sportback styling can be seen on both sedans, but even more so on the K5.
