- Bold & Sporty Design – Aggressive front grille, sleek LED lighting, and fastback styling make it stand out.
- Available AWD – One of the few midsize sedans (along with the Nissan Altima and Subaru Legacy) to offer all-wheel drive (AWD) for better traction.
- No Hybrid Option – Unlike the Hyundai Sonata, Toyota Camry, and Honda Accord, the K5 does not have a hybrid version.
- Base Engine is Just Adequate – The 1.6L turbo (180 hp) is fuel-efficient but lacks strong acceleration.
