Revealed for the first time in December 2019, KIA is already finishing the K5 facelift according to the latest pictures of the pre-production models captured testing near the R&D Center.
Captured near Hyundai-Kia R&D Center,
the updated K5 was spotted heavily camouflaged so it is difficult to see
differences. Despite that, it is easy to see the new headlights and taillights
design differences that affects the main part of the design, or even the new
wheels.
Talking about the powertrain, we don’t
expect many changes compared to the currently line-up despite a small
fine-tuning to make the engines more efficient and probably adding a higher
density battery pack to increase the electric range on the K5 hybrid model.
As for the inside, looking at the upcoming
KIA facelifts, we can expect to use the same curved dual display applied to the
latest Kia models that was premiered by its big brother, the K8. It is
difficult to know when KIA plans to release this facelift but we don’t expect
it before Summer 2024 in South Korea, with European and US-spec models arriving
by end of 2024.
