Kia K5 (DL3)

Kia K5 (DL3). 2019 to date (prod. n/a). 4-door sedan. F/F, F/A, 1598, 1999, 2497 cm³ petrol, 1999 cm³ LPG, 1999 cm³ petrol–electric hybrid (I4 DOHC). Smoother, fastback looks for third-generation K5, with the Korean-market name now used in the US. Longer, lower, and with a wider track. Hybrid from 2020, identifiable from its different bumpers. Strong power from turbo 1·6, impressive for a small unit. Quiet and refined (though not class-leading), decent interior materials, and well priced.

Manufacturing locations: Hwasung, Korea; West Pt, Georgia, USA
