The 2025 Kia K5 commands attention with its totally reinvigorated exterior, presented across 6 trim levels. The entry-level LXS showcases sleek lines, sharp angles, and an updated front fascia. Multi-reflector LED headlamps with a signature Star Map design, LED amber daytime running lamps, and LED taillamps light up the road with precision. The GT-Line trim presents an aggressive stance with a sport front bumper, rear spoiler, 18-inch gloss black and machined finish alloy wheels, and GT-Line badging that highlights its athleticism. Luxury meets functionality in the EX trim, with a panoramic sunroof, LED fog lights, and power-folding side mirrors, solidifying its premium appeal. But if it’s an adrenaline surge you crave, the K5 GT trim roars onto the scene on 19-inch alloy wheels with neon green GT brake calipers, and quad-tip exhaust. Exclusive body styling and GT-only Wolf Gray or Steel Matte Gray exterior paint options are undeniable on the open road.

The 2025 Kia K5 boasts two vigorous engine options. The 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, generates 191 hp with 181 lbs.-ft. of torque for intense acceleration and smooth gear shifts. Reserved for the thrill-seeker, the performance-driven GT trim boasts a 2.5L Turbocharged Inline-4 powerhouse that churns out an exhilarating 290 hp and 311 lbs.-ft. of torque.
