The arrival of the all-new Kia K5 marks a significant milestone for the sedan market, which has been steadily declining in recent years. With its redesigned exterior, enhanced tech features, and standard larger engine, the 2025 K5 represents Kia’s swan song in the sedan segment. Available in four trims – LXS, GT-Line (with front or all-wheel drive), EX, and GT – starting at $26,990, the K5 offers options for various preferences.
The entry-level LXS boasts a naturally aspirated engine producing 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque in a front-wheel drive configuration. Moving up the range, the GT-Line, starting at $27,990, shares the same 2.5-liter engine and is also available with all-wheel drive.
The EX trim, priced from $35,490, offers premium features such as a Bose Premium Audio System, a powered driver’s seat with lumbar support, and a Digital Key 2.0 heated steering wheel. It is powered by the same 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
At the top of the lineup is the GT, starting at $33,090, equipped with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 290 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. With its range of trims and competitive pricing, the 2025 Kia K5 aims to capture the attention of sedan enthusiasts amidst a changing automotive world.
