The K5 starts a bit lower, around $28,000 versus about $29,000 for the Accord, and it adds more standard flair for the money. At ALM Kia South, a new K5 also includes ALM VIP Club benefits and, on qualifying new vehicles, our Included Lifetime Warranty.
This is where the K5 pulls ahead for driving enthusiasts and all-weather shoppers. The K5 offers a 290-horsepower GT and available all-wheel drive, while the Accord is front-wheel drive only and tops out around 204 horsepower with its hybrid. If you want more power or all-wheel grip, the K5 has both; the Accord focuses on smooth, efficient front-drive motoring.
The Accord’s advantages are a very efficient hybrid and one of the roomiest cabins in the class. The K5 does not offer a hybrid, so if maximum mpg or rear-seat space tops your list, the Accord makes a strong case. For most drivers both are comfortable, well-equipped sedans.
The K5 carries the longer warranty: 5-year / 60,000-mile basic and 10-year / 100,000-mile powertrain, versus the Accord’s 3-year / 36,000-mile basic and 5-year / 60,000-mile powertrain. The Accord counters with Honda’s strong reliability and resale reputation, while the K5 pairs a solid record with much longer coverage.
Choose the Accord for its hybrid efficiency, spacious cabin, and Honda badge. Choose the K5 for the lower price, available all-wheel drive, the 290-horsepower GT, the longer warranty, and the ownership perks at ALM Kia South. Browse our K5 inventory or contact our team to compare them in person.
