Kia K5 vs Nissan Altima
We know how it is when deciding between two sets of wheels that have caught your eye, evaluating what can meet your needs best or provide an enjoyable ride. Those experiences are available in the Kia K5 and Nissan Altima. To help with your decision, we here at Kia of Coatesville have written up this dedicated comparison.
We hope all of our friends and neighbors in Coatesville, Downingtown, Gap, Lancaster, Reading, PA, and Newark, DE, get valuable insights from the information we provide.
Kia K5 vs Nissan Altima: Style
When you’re out on the road, you want your ride to be a reflection of you, something that makes a statement as it speeds down the line. Both machines offer different options to customize the exterior to your liking, but we believe the K5 has the sharper edge.
The Kia K5 comes standard with Daytime Running Lights. These LED headlights are sure to make a stylish statement, and they also help with daytime visibility. The Nissan Altima offers LED headlights, but not on its base trim.
Another feature that comes standard on the K5 but not the Altima is a Sound-Absorbing Front Windshield. This is a noise-reducing, laminated front glass that helps create a quiet cabin environment. This is a great feature for drivers who enjoy a peaceful commute before heading into the office.
Kia K5 vs Nissan Altima: Infotainment Technology
Staying connected on the go is more important than ever. Luckily, both the K5 and Altima come standard with Bluetooth® wireless technology as well as Hands-Free Phone and Audio Streaming. Stream your music library and make a few calls–all without taking your eyes off the road or hands off the wheel.
A major advantage that the K5 has over the Altima here is that it comes standard with both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. Then, thanks to the standard 8-inch wireless touchscreen, these apps are easy to use. Having these capabilities allows you to get the most out of your phone while behind the wheel of the K5. The Nissan Altima offers a 7-inch touchscreen in its base trim, meaning it might be harder to see navigation on the smaller screen.
A few odds and ends here, as the K5 features two USB plugs in the front console, one for media, the other for charging. Meanwhile, the Altima comes standard with just the one. Additionally, the K5 has a 4.2-inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT), LCD Trip Computer. This offers an array of functions, some which we’ll highlight here:
- Trip Meter
- Odometer
- Estimated Range of Remaining Fuel
- Current Average Miles Per Gallon
Kia K5 vs Nissan Altima: Safety Features
It’s one thing to drive in style, but another in confidence knowing your daily driver is designed to keep you safe from whatever the road throws at you. Fortunately, both the K5 and the Altima offer comprehensive safety suites. Both feature technologies like:
- Driver Attention Warning (DAW) with Leading Vehicle Departure Alert
- Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
- High Beam Assist (HBA)
- Rear View Monitor with Dynamic Parking Guidance
Kia K5 vs Nissan Altima: The Verdict
We hope you’ve enjoyed browsing our comparison, and that it has helped with your machine choosing. While both on-road companions have their advantages, we think the Kia K5 edges out the competition and is the better ride.
