2025 Kia K5
Starting at $28.145
Highs: One handsome devil, the 290-hp GT is unnecessarily fun (and we love it), generous offering of standard features.
Lows: Driving position is a bit awkward, big-power K5 GT desperately needs a summer tire option, largest tire option degrades ride quality.
Verdict: A great looking, highly capable family sedan that looks more expensive than it is and gives you a lot for your money.
What's New for 2025?
The Kia K5 sedan gets styling updates for 2025. The K5's new headlights and taillights, as well as a major update to its interior, were first debuted on the Korean-market K5. When Kia revealed the U.S.-spec K5 at the Chicago Auto Show, we learned that last year's turbocharged 1.6-liter four has been replaced with a nonturbo 2.5-liter unit that makes slightly more power at 191 ponies.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2025 Kia K5 starts at $28.145 and goes up to $35.645 depending on the trim and options.
For those who don't care about the extra firepower that comes with the GT's 290-hp engine, the GT-Line has a satisfying mix of racy styling elements at a very attractive price. That's the one we'd recommend, and for those who want the all-weather traction of all-wheel drive, it's available for $1600 extra. Otherwise, every GT-Line comes standard with a sportier body kit, 18-inch wheels, a 10-way power driver's seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and wireless smartphone charging. We'd also spring for the Premium package, which brings adaptive cruise control, advanced forward-collision warning, and full LED headlights.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Most K5 models are powered by a 191-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder that pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Using that engine, the K5 comes standard with front-wheel drive; all-wheel drive is optional. The full-Monty GT model has a more powerful turbo 2.5-liter four that generates 290 horses and 311 pound-feet of torque. Along with its exclusive eight-speed dual-clutch automatic (also available on the Hyundai Sonata N Line), the sportiest K5 is fitted with bigger brakes, a unique suspension tune, and wider tires on larger 19-inch rims.
0-60-MPH Times
The GT we drove sprinted to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds and stopped from 70 mph in 163 feet. The Sonata N Line, which shares the same engine and transmission, was slightly quicker to 60 mph (5.0 seconds) and stopped even shorter (152 feet). However, the hi-po Hyundai we tested wore optional summer tires (the Kia only comes with all-seasons), which contributed to its performance advantage.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Inside, the K5 looks great for how much it costs, and this year's refresh improves the ambiance even more. The layout is both sophisticated and straightforward, and the cabin is appointed with attractive materials such as wood trim on the dash and doors. The K5 also offers an array of upscale interior features, such as ambient interior lighting on the dash and doors, heated and ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a wireless charging pad. While the driver's seat feels high even set at its lowest point, the comfortable dead pedal for your left foot and floor-hinged accelerator are nice touches. The back seat also provides generous legroom, and the trunk has plenty of luggage space. We managed to fit seven carry-on suitcases back there.

I own the 2022 gt line I bought in 6/2021 for $29,000 out the door with no interest. This car looks new and runs better than when I bought it. It’s smooth and fast in rough LA streets as a daily commuter. This version is another step up and I would definitely buy one again if I don’t already own the earlier version.

[@marksanchez7575]

This is GT-Line not GT.

[@j317]

some people don't know there's a difference and often make this mistake there was somebody that worked at the dealership that I had to tell because I was looking for the gt and he swore the gt line was the gt

This is by far the most gorgeous sedan I've ever laid eyes on. Damn 😮. What color kit is this??

[@In-obscurity-n7j]

Finally someone figured out to put the high gloss black in all the touch points. Maybe on the refresh we can get a steering wheel coated with it

I like how they made the inside smooth with no buttons but the lights i dont like how they changed

[@j317]

are u sure u got the gt this one in this video is the gt line

[@user-on8wh4xr6r]

LOL. Yes, I got the GT line. There are subtle differences between the 2025 and 2024’s (I traded in my 2024 Kia GT for 2025 GT) 2025 No AWD No Smart Lock No rear cargo net No floor mats (upgrade) The emergency key for ignition is separate and kept on a separate key chain (makes zero sense) All key fobs typically have an emergency key built inside of the key fob The matte paint is an absolute nightmare to maintain (which I was unaware of at time of purchase)

[@j317]

@user-on8wh4xr6r so u said u got the gt line then said u traded in your 2024 gt for a 2025 gt lol if it's the gt line u have to say gt line that's where the confusion comes in and also awd is avaliable on the 2025 gt line
