And those who couldn’t make it up to the 3.3-liter twin-turbo V-6 — which continues to offer with a 3-horsepower bump, and electronic variable exhaust valve for improved exhaust sound — were left with a basic turbocharged 2.0- liter I-4 255-hp Horsepower and torque of 260 lb-ft (474 ​​Nm).

For 2021, the 2.0-liter engine has been replaced by a 300 horsepower, 311 pound-feet, 2.5-liter turbocharged I-4 engine that Kia officials say will go from 0 to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds. Of those changes, Wager says the 45-horsepower boost for the entry model should attract more buyers.
