Is the 2021 Kia K5 GT going to be Car of the Year?

The K5 is Kia's new midsize sedan formerly known as the Optima. For the past two decades, the Optima has offered attractive styling and fairly good value for money. With this redesigned 2021 model, Kia decided to go all-in and give it a new name too. Highlights include bolder styling, new engine and transmission options, and available all-wheel drive. We highly recommend checking out the 2021 Kia K5 against other top midsize sedans such as the Honda Accord, Mazda 6 and related Hyundai Sonata.
