The Kia name means you\u2019re going to find value, the EX trim allows you to know you\u2019ve got a lot of great features, and if you\u2019ve seen the K5, you know it\u2019s a gorgeous sedan.<\/p>\n<h2>How Does the EX Model Improve the Drive?<\/h2>\n<p>There are five trims offered for the Kia K5 and the EX model is the fourth in the lineup. This means it&#8217;s one step below the top. As such, it has a long list of standard items you\u2019re sure to love. We\u2019re going to show you how those items make a difference in your drive.<\/p>\n<p>The items you\u2019ll find in the EX model are:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 18-inch gray alloy wheels<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Gloss-black windshield molding<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Panoramic sunroof<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Wireless smartphone charging<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Leatherette seat trim<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Heated front seats<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 12-speaker Bose sound system<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Sirius satellite radio<\/p>\n<h2>Add More to the Style of Your Drive<\/h2>\n<p>When you\u2019re looking at the Kia K5 lineup, you might not find the look you want until you reach the EX trim. This is where you have the 18-inch gray alloy wheels and the gloss-black windshield molding. These might sound like trivial items, but they just might provide <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/automotivefly.com\/index.php\/2020\/12\/19\/2021-kia-seltos-other-compacts-take-notice\/\">that finishing touch<\/a><\/strong> to give you the appearance you desire.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this car does bring you the smooth lines and attractive shapes you admire as well. When you want to drive a stylish midsize sedan, the Kia K5 EX can be the car that offers you the visual appeal you weren\u2019t sure was still offered in this class of vehicle.<\/p>\n<h2>Let Everyone Enjoy the View<\/h2>\n<p>The addition of a panoramic sunroof opens up your cabin and allows the light and views to enter your area. You\u2019ll realize the true difference of this feature when you first step into this sedan but also when you take a ride in a vehicle that doesn\u2019t have a sunroof. Forget the cramped feeling of a roof that isn\u2019t welcoming and enjoy this feature in the K5 you love to drive.<\/p>\n<h2>Leave the Cords at Home<\/h2>\n<p>Are there times when you\u2019ve forgotten your charging cord? Have you watched the battery charge of your phone run down when you\u2019re using the navigation feature and don\u2019t have a charging cord? The Kia K5 EX offers you a wireless charging pad to make sure you can keep your phone charged and know that you\u2019re ready to go. Leave your cords at home (this car has wireless Apple CarPlay\/Android Auto also) and know that you can be connected and charged up the way you want to be.<\/p>\n<h2>Get More Comfortable During Your Drive<\/h2>\n<p>With a trim level that is only one from the top, you expect to find some comfort items added for you. This car delivers with the addition of leatherette seat trim and heated front seats. When you have to drive to work on a cold winter morning, these are items that you\u2019ll be more than thankful you have. If you have a sore back and think some heating might help, you\u2019ll love setting the seat warmer and enjoying <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/roadshow\/news\/2022-kia-k5-sedan-awd-price-cut\/\">a little pain relief<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Superior Sounds for You in the Kia K5 EX<\/h2>\n<p>When you hear that a vehicle has a Bose audio system, you immediately know that vehicle is offering a wonderful sound experience during the drive.

This isn\u2019t a typical audio system, it&#8217;s set up for surround sound to bring your music to you from everywhere in the cabin.<\/p>\n<h2>Find Your Favorite Listening Selection<\/h2>\n<p>Sirius satellite radio is one of the most popular choices when it comes to entertainment.
