Kia K5 or Hyundai Sonata? - the rivalry of two co-platform cars of one Korean group Kia - Hyundai - is always interesting for a test drive. Especially if the company does not just hang different emblems on the same body, like, for example, Skoda Rapid and the new Volkswagen Polo, but seriously invests in design and technology.
