Kia presented the all-new K5 for the 2021 model year with the South Korean automaker’s old logo, and now the Optima-replacing sedan has switched to the all-new corporate logo for the 2022 model. Priced $100 higher than before, the mid-size car also gains a few more features. 17 photos
Excluding $995 for the destination charge, the $23,690 LX FWD comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a 1.6-liter turbocharged GDi four-cylinder engine. Although it may not seem like a lot, 1.6 liters are enough for 180 horsepower and 195 pound-feet (265 Nm) on 87-octane gas.
The most basic of specifications also impresses on the long haul because the highway estimate for gas mileage is 38 mpg (6.2 liters per 100 kilometers). Customers who need all-wheel drive will have to level up to the LXS AWD, which costs a cool $26,490 and tops 33 mpg (7.1 l/100 km).

If you throw a figurative rock towards a main road, the chances are high that you ll hit a Cerato.
Dubbed the baby Stinger, after Kia s performance sedan, the Cerato is but a small family carrier with none of the pizzazz of the Stinger s 2L or a 3.3L engine. Instead, it s powered by a reliable, economical and sensible 1.6L naturally-aspirated engine. However, the Cerato does bear some resemblance to the Stinger with a similar-looking front grille and headlights.
