Comparison Review

Comfort
The Alfa Romeo Giulia offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Kia K5 with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. The Kia K5 will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Alfa Romeo Giulia.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Alfa Romeo Giulia as you will with the Kia K5, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Alfa Romeo Giulia will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia K5, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Alfa Romeo Giulia is about the same width as the Kia K5. If you go with the Alfa Romeo Giulia, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Kia K5.

Handling
The Alfa Romeo Giulia has about the same turning radius as the Kia K5, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Alfa Romeo Giulia has a much more powerful engine than the Kia K5. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Alfa Romeo Giulia does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Kia K5.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Alfa Romeo Giulia and the Kia K5.
