What's New for 2023?

Performance

The standard 180-horsepower 1.6-liter turbo-four engine propels the K5 through Ramsey, NJ, making 195 pound-feet of torque.

The standard engine provides plenty of power for daily use and has decent acceleration. Drivers can enjoy secure and composed handling, while the available all-wheel drive on the GT-Line offers more traction.

Drivers looking for a more thrilling ride can opt for the available 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine on the GT model that makes 290 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque.

The base engine returns above-average fuel estimates with 37 mpg on the highway, while the optional engine achieves 32 mpg on the highway.
