2021 Kia K5 GT.Kia

• The 2021 Kia K5 sedan replaces the mid-size Optima sedan.
• It's a sharp-looking thing and will offer five trim levels.
• The LX, LXS, GT-Line, and EX trims will be available this summer. The GT trim will be available in the fall.
• Kia didn't announce official pricing at this time.

In a market dominated by truck and SUV sales, it's a wonder that any automakers are still investing in sedans. But they are — and the 2021 Kia K5 is the latest addition.

The new Kia K5 replaces the Optima mid-size sedan. Fans of the wonderful Kia Stinger will recognize similar proportions and design cues. Riding on the all-new N3 platform, the K5 is longer, wider, and lower, according to a press release. It has zig-zaggy running lights and a low-slung front-facia. It looks good.

The new K5 will offer a couple of engine options, have available all-wheel drive, and come in five trim levels.

It'll be on sale in the summer, though Kia did not announce any official pricing at this time.

Kia's Telluride SUV has found success in North America, selling so well it is reportedly called the Sell-U-Ride by company employees, according to Motortrend. The new K5 looks like another stab at a still-large segment of the US car market.
