2025 Kia K5

The K5 shows off its powerful look in several trims to suit different tastes. The LXS trim starts the lineup with the signature tiger-nose grille flanked by multi-reflector LED headlights with a Star Map design. Amber daytime running lights add to this refreshed front end, while sweeping lines and LED taillights finish off its crisp look. Available trim upgrades include bold accents such as gloss black details, custom alloy wheels, and dual exhaust tips, as well as convenience features like power-folding side mirrors, LED fog lights, and a panoramic sunroof on the EX trim. The GT-Line trim is especially aggressive with a sport front bumper, rear spoiler, 18-inch gloss black and machined-finish alloy wheels, and exclusive badging that highlights its capability. For a real adrenaline surge, the K5 GT trim takes no prisoners with 19-inch alloys highlighted by neon green GT brake calipers, quad-tip exhaust, and GT-exclusive color options including Wolf Gray or Steel Matte Gray. These elements amplify the sporty aesthetic of the K5 while maintaining its refined character.

Under the hood, the 2025 Kia K5 offers 2 impressive engine options.
