Design & Style
There are plenty of high-end materials you will notice once you get inside the 2023 Hyundai Sonata. It is well-insulated against road noise too. Sitting up to five people inside, you will find plenty of legroom and headroom on both rows, it is also fitted with supportive seats for added comfort for users, which will help much during longer drives.
In the case of the 2023 K5 from Kia, you will notice a solidly-constructed, modern interior. One thing you will not love about it, though, is the inclusion of hard plastics which are very visible once you get inside it. Like the Sonata, it has 16 cubic feet of space left at the back when all seats are in use. This one comes with great cushioning for comfort, and can accommodate five passengers. The backseats come with a sloping roofline which limits space at the backseats, though.

It also comes with standard setup for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and has six speakers, a USB port, Bluetooth, and HD radio.

That of the 2023 Kia K5 also uses an eight-inch touch screen display with sharp graphics. It has four speakers, and four USB ports, and wireless smartphone integration. It has plenty of driver aids, which includes those found in the Sonata, but it misses on lane tracing assist, and lane departure warning.
