2025 Kia K5
The 2025 Kia K5 revolutionizes the mid-size sedan market with its quiet interior and ergonomic seats. Its bold look and new updates add family-friendly touches while retaining a sporty feel. The Kia K5 demonstrates that sedans can still turn heads in a world dominated by SUVs, mixing comfort, power, and new technology.
Trim Levels (Exterior)
The 2025 Kia K5 comes in four different styles to suit various needs and preferences:
• LXS: This model has 16-inch rims that enhance its appearance.
• EX: The EX comes with 18-inch wheels and some refined touches.
• GT-Line: This trim features 18-inch wheels and sporty looks and comes with optional all-wheel drive.
• GT: The GT has 19-inch alloys and an aggressive, speedy aesthetic.
The 2025 Kia K5 has a large honeycomb grille and distinctive front lights while a rear spoiler improves aerodynamics. You can select from seven paint options, including Aurora Black Pearl, Wolf Gray, and Yacht Blue.
Engine (Power)
Powering the 2025 Kia K5 is a range of newly developed engines, catering to diverse driving preferences. Most models run on a 2.5-liter engine without a turbo, pumping out 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. This powerplant pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The GT trim comes with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that cranks out 290 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque.
Both powertrains use advanced gasoline direct injection technology. The GT's version adds multi-port injection for increased power output. Different compression ratios, such as 13.0:1 for standard trims and 10.5:1 for the GT, ensure regular models sip fuel while the GT packs a punch.
Performance
The 2025 Kia K5 delivers impressive performance. Basic versions accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 7.4 to 7.8 seconds, achieving 25 mpg in city driving and up to 36 mpg on the highway. The GT gets 24 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on highways. Each version comes with Drive Mode Select, putting you in charge, while the McPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspensions keep things smooth and sharp. This energetic sedan handles curves efficiently and maintains stability on straight roads.
