2021 Kia K5 Safety Ratings
 |
 |
There are many factors to consider when choosing your next set of wheels, but one of the most important ones is how safe the ride will keep you. The Kia K5 was named a 2021 IIHS Top Safety Pick+, so you know this roadster will keep you protected on the roads of Indianapolis, Avon, and Plainfield, IN.
To break these safety ratings down and show you what features helped this Kia sedan earn such a prestigious title, the team at Andy Mohr Kia is here.
IIHS Safety Rating
One of the companies assessing how safe on-road companions are is the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. IIHS is an independent organization dedicated to reducing the number of vehicular accidents and rates rides on a scale of Poor to Good.
For the 2021 model year, the Kia K5 earned top marks in all crashworthiness tests. Additionally, IIHS assesses accident prevention technology from Basic to Superior and the K5 once again ranked in the top for both its standard and optional safety systems.
These ratings are what earned the title of 2021 IIHS Top Safety Pick+ for midsize car for the 2021 Kia K5.
NHTSA Safety Rating
Another company raking vehicle safety is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Instead of giving scores, the NHTSA uses a 5-star rating system with five stars being the best.
The 2021 Kia K5 earned five stars for Frontal Crash: Front Driver Side and Side Crash tests, helping to lead to a 5-star overall safety rating as well.
What Makes the K5 So Safe?
So, how has the 2021 Kia K5 earned such impressive safety ratings? With the following systems coming standard, it’s easy to see why:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection: Warns when you’re too close to frontal obstacles and applies the brakes if needed to avoid a collision.
- Driver Attention Warning with Leading Vehicle Departure Alert: Detects drowsy and distracted driving and urges you to take a break. It also lets you know when the vehicle ahead has moved.
- Lane Departure Warning: Alerts you to unintentional lane drift so you can stay firmly on track.
- Lane Keeping Assist: Provides gentle steering corrections if needed to keep you from leaving your lane.
- Lane Following Assist: Reads road lines to keep you centered in your lane around twists and turns in the road.
This is just the start for this Kia sedan, though, as many advanced systems are available as well. One that’s sure to help you out during your commute is Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control—Curve. This system uses your nav system to detect curves in the road and automatically slows your K5 for controlled handling.
