2020 Kia Optima

The 2021 Kia K5 sedan, formerly known as the Optima, brings a lot to the table: style, power and a comfortable ride.

Our roundup of all the best deals shoppers will find on new cars over the long Labor Day weekend was the No. 1 article of the week.

If a new car is back on your consideration set but budget remains a primary concern, several cars have prominent discounts this Labor Day.

A more attractive take than Hyundai’s frowny new Sonata, the 2021 K5 is plenty competitive, but the disparity between available touchscreen systems is a missed opportunity.

New-car sales are coming off a dour second quarter due to the ongoing pandemic, and incentives remain readily available for July.

Kia’s Optima mid-size sedan is reimagined for 2021 as the K5, borrowing the name from the Korean version of the car.

As the nation slowly reopens amid the COVID-19 pandemic, automakers continue to pour on the discounts heading into June.

The offers we covered in our roundup of the 10 best Memorial Day new-car deals, Cars.com’s most popular news article of the past week, extend through June 1.

To look for Memorial Day car deals during the coronavirus pandemic, we surveyed relatively popular models for advertised factory cash discounts and low-interest-rate financing offers.

Several of the automakers with financing deals we’ve highlighted already have extended their offers’ expiration dates.
