2021 Kia K5 Performance Specifications

The 2021 Kia K5 offers two excellent engine options that customers can choose from—a 1.6L turbo I-4 engine and a 2.5L turbo I-4 engine. These two engines deliver performance output that few vehicles in this segment of the automotive industry are able to meet. The 1.6L turbo engine is able to generate 180 horsepower and up to 195 pound-feet of torque. Additionally, the 2.5L turbo engine can generate even more power and torque, offering performance specifications of 290 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. These specifications do not meet the 2020 Stinger but still compete very well against other similar models.

2020 Kia Stinger Performance Specifications

The 2020 Kia Stinger performance specifications are widely considered as the best among midsize sedans in the automotive industry. The 2020 Kia Stinger also offers two terrific engine options as well—a 2.0L turbo I-4 engine and a 3.3L twin-turbo V6 engine. The 2.0L turbo engine offers 255 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, while the 3.3L twin-turbo V6 generates 365 horsepower and up to 376 pound-feet of torque. It’s difficult to fairly compare the performance output of these two models, but it does show that the 2021 Kia K5 stacks up pretty well against one of the best performance sedans in the industry.
