Great for: Tri-Cities commuters who want a midsize sedan with a sportier driving experience than typical family sedans, Kingsport drivers who need available AWD for winter traction on I-26 and I-81, and performance-oriented buyers looking for a used K5 GT with turbocharged power and a dual-clutch transmission.

K5 Powertrain and Performance

The standard K5 powertrain is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is available on GT-Line trims for Tri-Cities drivers who want added traction during winter months on I-81, I-26, and the mountain-area highways throughout Sullivan County and Northeast Tennessee. The base powertrain provides smooth acceleration for daily commuting and achieves strong fuel economy, with FWD models reaching up to an estimated 27 MPG city and 37 MPG highway.

The K5 GT changes the character of the car entirely. A turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder produces 290 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque through an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, pushing the K5 from zero to 60 MPH in approximately 5.2 seconds. The GT adds sport-tuned suspension, larger brakes, paddle shifters, a quad-tip dual exhaust, and 19-inch wheels. For Kingsport drivers who want sedan fuel economy and practicality with genuine sports car acceleration, a used K5 GT delivers that combination at a fraction of its original sticker price.

Design, Interior, and Technology

The K5's fastback roofline gives it a more aggressive profile than traditional midsize sedans, and the interior matches that attitude with a driver-focused cockpit layout. Five passengers fit comfortably with standard cloth or available SynTex and leather seating depending on trim. A 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system provides wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, and available upgrades include a Bose premium audio system, panoramic sunroof, wireless phone charging, heated and ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel.

Driver-assistance technology across the K5 lineup includes forward collision avoidance with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot collision warning, and rear cross-traffic alert. Higher trims add a blind-spot view monitor, 360-degree parking camera, and Highway Driving Assist for semi-autonomous highway driving on I-81 and I-26.
