2024 Kia K5 Expert Review

Our longest-tenured automotive editor, Jason Allan has driven and evaluated just about every meaningful car, truck, SUV, and minivan produced in the past 15+ years. In that same span he’s played key roles in architecting our shopper-focused collection of content that today includes reviews and ratings, awards, news, advice, and more. He currently leads content direction for our editorial team. Prior to joining Kelley Blue Book so long ago, Jason worked as a marketing analyst for Lincoln during the automaker’s short-lived stint in Orange County, and as an award-winning copywriter at a small advertising agency. Jason is a proud alumnus of San Diego State University, where he studied journalism and advertising with a minor in marketing. In his spare time, you’ll find Jason outside enjoying coastal Southern California, watching sports on TV or in person, and/or spending time with friends and family. Both of his kids drive Mazda3 hatchbacks, and one of them has a spotless driving record.
