Which Car Should You Buy: 2021 Mazda3 or 2021 Kia K5?

Price becomes a major factor while choosing a vehicle. The starting price of the base variant of the 2021 Kia K5 is $23,590, whereas that of the 2021 Mazda3 is $20,650. Hence, you spend less, but in terms of amenities, you stand to gain more. Let us explain.
The 2021 Mazda3 has a fuel economy of 28 mpg and 36 mpg in the city area and on the highway, respectively. In comparison, the 2021 Kia K5 has a city and highway fuel economy of 29 mpg and 38 mpg, respectively. However, if we consider the engine performance, the Mazda3 clearly wins over the Kia K5. The Mazda3 comes with a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder turbo engine that puts out 186 horsepower, which outclasses the engine performance of the Kia K5. Therefore, taking all factors into account, the 2021 Mazda3 is a far better choice between the two cars.
Coming to the infotainment system, while both cars have features like Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®, the 2021 Mazda3 has a lot more to offer. For instance, the Mazda3 is equipped with an 8.8-inch full-color center display, Pandora® internet radio integration, Mobile 911 automatic emergency notification, Mazda Connected Services and many other impressive features.
In conclusion, although the 2021 Kia K5 is certainly a very good compact sedan, our vote goes to the 2021 Mazda3. Feel free to call us at 888-394-3822 or visit our dealership at your convenience, and we will be happy to have a detailed discussion about the 2021 Mazda3.
