Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Cadillac CT5 than the Kia K5. The Kia K5 will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Cadillac CT5.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Cadillac CT5 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 Cadillac CT5 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia K5, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Cadillac CT5 is a little wider than the Kia K5, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Cadillac CT5 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Kia K5.

Handling
The Cadillac CT5 has a larger turning radius than the Kia K5, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Cadillac CT5 does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Kia K5.
