They all seat five, so the differences are in the details. The K5, Hyundai Sonata, and Hyundai Elantra lead on warranty with 10-year / 100,000-mile powertrain coverage, while the Accord, Camry, and Altima offer 5-year / 60,000-mile coverage. The K5 stands out with a sporty 290-horsepower GT and available all-wheel drive, which the front-drive-only Accord does not offer, and the Camry is now hybrid-only. Note the Elantra is a smaller, lower-priced compact that some K5 shoppers still cross-shop. For a full breakdown of any single matchup, open one of the head-to-head comparisons above.
Front-wheel drive is standard across the K5 lineup, with all-wheel drive available on the GT-Line and the 290-horsepower turbo reserved for the GT. The K5 is offered only with gas engines; there is no hybrid or electric K5.
