When it debuted last year to replace the brand’s famous Optima, the Kia K5 impressed most shoppers with its sharp styling, comfortable and quiet interior, and an impressive list of standard and optional features. Its great value is one of the K5’s strongest suits.
If you think mainstream midsize sedans are boring, wait until you lease the 2022 Kia K5 LXS. This family sedan thrills shoppers with its stylish exterior design, striking interior, and a lot of exciting features—all at budget-friendly prices.
For 2022, this midsize sedan still stands out in the segment, thanks to its alluring exterior styling, potent turbocharged engines, and sporty and premium feel. While the new K5 LXS comes with no significant changes, Kia has applied its new badge design to this model and stacked second-row USB ports as standard.
Engine And Performance
Under the hood of the 2022 K5 LXS is a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that churns out 180 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. And comes standard with front-wheel drive; all-wheel drive is optional. With the standard FWD, the 2022 K5 LXS can push from zero to 60 mph in just 7.8 seconds.
You can’t expect this turbo-four to delight you, but it still delivers modest power and eager acceleration to get this family sedan going both in the city and on the highway. Its ride quality outclasses that of its close rivals. This midsize sedan easily absorbs road imperfections to deliver a refined and supple ride thanks to its suspension. All in all, the K5 LXS powertrain provides adequate power for all driving situations.
Fuel Economy
The EPA estimates the 2022 K5 LXS with the FWD to return up to 29 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway, which is average in its class. These numbers drop to 27 mpg city and 37 highway with the AWD.
Interior
On the inside, the new Kia K5 LXS looks and feels so elegant and stylish for its price. It features a sophisticated cabin appointed with luxe materials and an array of upscale features. Some of the remarkable convenience features inside the new K5 LXS include push-button start, hands-free keyless entry, split-folding second-row seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an 8-inch touch screen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
K5 LXS seats five people in its spacious, comfortable, and supportive seats with ample legroom space. And though its trunk space is not the best in its class, the 2022 K5 LXS boasts a large cargo hold than most of its classmates.
