When looking for the right sedan, peeking under the hood is a great way to start. Although each of these popular models deliver a smooth and spirited performance, there are some differences to note.
The standard engine in the Kia K5 is a 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder. It generates up to 180 horsepower and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This allows you to easily maneuver through city traffic with guess-free shifting.
On the other hand, the 2023 Nissan Altima has a little more oomph under its hood. With its standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, you’ll experience up to 188 horsepower for a more dynamic drive.
What really gives this sedan an edge, though, is its Xtronic CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmission). It adjusts to conditions and streamlines shifting, so you can experience your desired acceleration.
With the power assured, you’ll be able to travel far and wide. So, you’ll also want to make sure your chosen vehicle can keep going for all the miles ahead while limiting stops at the pump.
In addition to engaging drives, these sedans are ready to keep you away from the pump longer with the following EPA-estimated fuel efficiencies:
- Nissan Altima: 27 city/39 highway MPG*
- Kia K5: 27 city/37 highway MPG
With similar gas mileage, these sedans will make it easy to venture wherever your heart desires. Limited gas pump visits included.
As you can see, these two ratings are fairly similar. However, the Altima is constructed with a 16.2-gallon fuel tank that allows you to journey over 630 highway miles before needing to refuel.
You’ll have to stop at the gas station sooner with the K5 since its 15.8-gallon fuel tank means you can only go around 580 highway miles before refueling.
Of course, when it comes to a vehicle’s features, the most important are those that help protect you and your passengers. Fortunately, Nissan and Kia are committed to your safety behind the wheel.
You’ll be happy to know that when it comes to safety, both the Altima and the K5 provide the peace of mind you need. Each sedan is standardly equipped with a suite of driver-assistance technologies to elevate your awareness and help prevent collisions, such as:
- Intelligent Forward Collision Warning
- Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
- Lane Departure Warning
- High Beam Assist
- Intelligent Driver Alertness
Also available in the 2023 Nissan Altima is Traffic Sign Recognition. This system intelligently reads the road and alerts you to detected Do Not Enter, speed limit, and stop signs.
Unfortunately, a comparable system isn’t available in the Kia K5, so you may miss out on an essential piece of driving information.
Clearly, the Kia K5 has a lot going for it. However, if you want a more powerful performance and the latest and greatest safety technologies, we think you’re going to love the 2023 Nissan Altima. There’s only one way to find out for yourself!
