Kia’s K5 remains one of the few midsize sedans available but is aging within a shrinking market. For 2027, no major updates are expected, with the lineup simplifying to just three trims: LXS, GT-Line, and GT, following the removal of the EX trim, likely due to low sales.
Updated Lineup For 2027
- Trims: LXS, GT-Line, GT (EX trim dropped)
- Reason for Drop: Suspected low sales figures.
Was The EX Trim Special?
The previous EX trim offered high-end features as standard, including:
- 10-way power-adjustable passenger seat
- Ventilated front seats
- Power-folding exterior mirrors
- Heated steering wheel
- Priced at $1,400 above the GT, it provided good value for a range-topping option.
GT Can Be Similarly Equipped
The GT trim now serves as the new top option, offering equipment akin to the old EX through available packages.
Pricing Has Gone Up By $200
- 2027 Pricing (with destination):
- LXS: $28,935
- GT-Line: $29,935
- GT: $35,035
How Does The K5 Compare To Rivals?
Despite a price increase, the K5 is still competitively priced compared to rivals:
- Toyota Camry: $30,895
- Honda Accord: $29,690
- Nissan Altima: $28,825
- Hyundai Sonata: $28,745
