• The 2025 Kia K5’s price has been set. The base price for the mid-size car EX is now $35,645, which is $5,000 more than the previous price.
  • The more expensive $3600 Premium option now comes standard on the EX. It costs more, but it has a 10-way power driver’s seat, Bose music, a curved display mounted on the dash, and other nice things.
  • The other models also have higher costs: the base LXS is $1400 higher at $28,145, and the top-of-the-line GT is $2,000 higher at $35,145.

New features for the 2025 Kia K5 include a brand-new base engine and changes to its appearance. Even though we were told about the changes earlier this year, Kia has yet to announce the price of its mid-size car. Along with the pretty normal price changes from one year to the next, the popular EX trim level stands out with a $5,000 price increase to $35,645.

The 2025 Kia K5 EX Sedan's base price goes up by $5,000 to $35,645

EX is more expensive, but it has more

While the K5 EXs look strange, it’s easy to see why they were made that way. In 2025, the $3,600 Premium package that was once a choice will come as standard. It has a 12-speaker Bose sound system, a 10-way power driver seat with memory settings, a 360-degree video system, and other features to help the driver. The second one is a new 12.1-inch screen placed on a curved piece of glass next to the 12.3-inch touchscreen for entertainment. It has parking sensors in the front and back, as well as a camera view that lets you see where the instruments aren’t visible.

Prices for the other Kia K5 types are also higher but less than for the EX. The base price of an LX is now $28,145, which is $1,400 more than it was last year. Now, the extra all-wheel-drive system costs $1600 more than the front-wheel-drive GT-Line, which costs $900 more at $29,145. The GT model, which is fast, starts at $35,145. The most it costs is still a lot more than before ($2000), but the base price is now $500 less than the EX.

Of course, if you only choose the $4400 GT1 choice, the 2025 Kia K5 GT will cost more. Plus, it comes with new features like a digital key and heated front seats, which are now standard on the EX. There is only one K5 model with the 2.5-liter turbocharged four-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. This transmission makes 290 horsepower.

All the other K5 types have a brand-new 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine that makes 191 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque. The new turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine has 11 more horsepower than the old one, which had 180 horsepower, but it loses 14 pound-feet of torque. It can still only be bought with an automatic engine with eight speeds. When will dealers get the 2025 Kia K5? It should be in the second quarter of this year.
