2021 Kia K5 vs. 2020 Honda Accord | Mission, TX

2021 Kia K5 vs. 2020 Honda Accord - Bert Ogden Mission Kia - Mission, TX


The Kia Optima has officially been phased out of the Kia lineup, but in its place, a new midsize sedan emerges. The 2021 Kia K5 is sleek, sporty, efficient, and packed with innovative tech and premium comfort and convenience features. So how does this relative newcomer compare to industry standards, like the Honda Accord? The 2021 Kia K5 has enough new pizazz and enough legacy awesomeness from the outgoing Optima that it has quickly claimed its throne at the top of the segment.

Performance

The 2021 Kia K5 is offered with a turbocharged engine: the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that generates an impressive 290 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque (a best-in-class spec, we should add). The 2020 Accord offers an available 2.0T engine that generates less power with ratings of 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque.

Infotainment

The new Kia K5 boasts a standard touch screen for its infotainment system that is 8 inches, but you can upgrade to the 10.25-inch option. The Honda Accord, on the other hand, starts with a 7-inch screen and increases to 8 inches tops. Not only that, but the 2020 Honda Accord doesn’t even come standard with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration. These are included across every trim of the 2021 Kia K5.

Cost

Despite offering more power and standard connectivity, the 2021 Kia K5 is offered more affordably than the 2020 Honda Accord. In fact, you will save nearly $800 by going with the base model K5 over the base model Accord.*

Warranty

Finally, Kia offers a superior warranty for the 2021 K5. The K5 includes an industry-best 10-year or 100,000-mile (whichever comes first) warranty. The warranty offer from Honda pales in comparison.
