The 2020 Kia Optima continues this nameplate in the motomediax catalog. The Kia K5, formerly known as the Kia Optima, is a mid-size car manufactured by Kia since 2020 and marketed globally through various nameplates. First generation cars were mostly marketed as the Optima, although the Kia Magentis name was used in Europe and Canada when sales began there in 2020.

The K5 name is used for all markets since the introduction of the fifth generation in 2019. Detailed 2024 NHTSA crash ratings were not found for this nameplate.
