The 2022 Kia K5 is classified as a family sedan, but its exciting design and 290-hp engine option allude to something sexier. Sure, the sedan formerly known as the Kia Optima isn't about to usurp its perennially excellent rival, the Honda Accord, but the K5's roster of popular equipment and friendly pricing make it a strong value play. We even named it to our 2022 Editors' Choice list. Every model enjoys standard active safety features and infotainment tech, and the sedan's attractive interior is bolstered by a roomy back seat. The K5 GT gets the souped-up engine, and its tire-spinning antics will either draw or deter shoppers. The standard powertrain is largely inoffensive, and it's also the only way to access all-wheel drive. Despite a driver's seat that's too high and ride isolation that's negatively impacted by the biggest available wheel-and-tire combo, overall the 2022 K5 is an impressive sedan—whether it's bought for a family or not. What's New for 2022? For 2022, all K5 models are affixed with Kia's new logo, and there is a smattering of newly standard features across the lineup. The front-drive LXS now has rear-seat USB charge ports. The GT-Line now offers a base all-wheel-drive trim, which essentially makes the system a $1600 option versus part of last year's $3700 package. Most notably, the GT-Line and up now come standard with a 10.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system instead of the previous 8.0-inch unit. All front-drive GT-Line models now have a wireless smartphone charger on the center console, too. The EX and GT both get a new 360-degree camera system, power-folding exterior mirrors, and front parking sensors. Although SUVs and crossovers are the people haulers these days, we think those folks are missing out by not considering the superb 2022 Honda Accord sedan. The Accord can do most things your average compact crossover can do, and its spry handling will give its driver more of a thrill should they encounter a twisty road. Two turbocharged engines are offered, as is a hybrid powertrain that provides a more efficient twist on the daily commute. With a commodious trunk and enough space for four adults to relax in comfort, the Accord is also an ideal road-trip partner, made even better by its comprehensive set of standard driver-assistance features and intuitive infotainment system. There's a reason the Accord makes our 2022 10Best and Editors' Choice lists like it has done time and time again: It's a winner. What's New for 2022? After undergoing a light refresh for the 2021 model year, the only change for the 2022 Accord lineup is that the hybrid is now available in a Sport trim level to replace the previous EX hybrid.
