What Kia K5 do most buyers choose?
The Kia K5 years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

| 2026 | 1,652 | 32.8% |
| 2021 | 1,490 | 33.2% |
These higher-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right price, trim, and condition. They also often sit in the sweet spot between newer features and broader availability.
What is the Kia K5's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |

Should I buy a used Kia K5 now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −1.82% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −4.72%.

- Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $24,886. The Kia K5 offers distinctive styling and a comfortable ride that make it easy to live with every day.
Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: The latest model pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 191 horsepower and 182 pound-feet of torque, while the GT uses a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 290 hp and 311 lb-ft.
- Tech: The latest model has a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Kia Connect services.
- Safety: The latest model adds Highway Driving Assist on GT-Line, plus a surround-view camera system, blind-spot cameras, side parking sensors, and reverse automatic braking on EX.
- Starting price: Prices range from $28,145 to $35,645, including the destination charge.
If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.

Reviewed a 2025 Kia GT-Line FWD on Apr 26, 2025
I only had the car 2 month but drove it to Florida (all around) and back and put on 3,500 miles. My car is a GT-Line, Wolf Grey with the Red interior, Bose speakers etc. The car is a real pleasure to drive. Very Quiet on the road, and my mileage exceeded the 36 mpg epa rating, and that’s while maintaining speeds of 80 mph with 2 people and fully loaded with luggage. (about 38 mpg) Little if any wind noise. Note that at times I hit much higher speeds not knowing since it was so quiet & smooth. The engine RPM was mostly between 2 to 2.1 at 80mph. The power of the 2.5 liter is good, and slightly better than the 2019 Camry I had, which was a very good car as well. The Bose 12 speaker system sounded great, and all the alert sensors and some other sensors like keeping your car steering between the lines worked very well, but I preferred to turn that off most of the time. If you turn on your turning signals to changing lanes, and a car is present, not only does your side mirrors alert you, but you’ll get sound notices and the steering wheel will vibrate. Triple redundancy. The handling is very good, and secure, brakes are excellent and has a very good feel to them. A very important note is, I appreciate that the 2.5 engine has both Direct & Port Injectors on each cylinder. Port injectors will help cleaned the valves and clear any carbon build up. This is the same arrangement my Camry 2019 had which greatly reduces or eliminates carbon buildup in these Direct Inject Engines. The Nav system worked flawlessly and quickly. I also love you can remotely start your car with the key FOB (No additional charge) or with Kia Connect though Kia connect is only free the 1st 3 years. Also, happily, it doesn’t have the stop & start engine control which can cause more wear on your starter motor with little gain on MPG. The seats are very comfortable as I can attest driving 12 hours straight on my first stop. The car’s 8 spd auto shifted smoothly in all conditions. Plenty of room inside. Lot of storage in the console area for incidentals and drinks. I enjoyed the Panoramic roof. The negative was the Combine toggle Climate & Media control is a bit counter intuitive and sometimes causes more effort to control. Trunk space is good, as I had lots of luggage. The car feels solid & hopefully reliable down the line. The only other negative which is because I do my own oil changes etc, is this car takes a Cartridge oil filter (Not spin on) and takes 6.1 quarts of oil, (Not 5 qts) but I knew this well before I bought it but it’s location and design is good. So it’s not a real big deal, but this will cost a little more for oil changes. Recommended oil chg is 7,500 but I’ll be doing it every 5 to 6K for sure. BTW recommended oil is 0 -30W. Based on my limited time but very heavy usage I highly recommend this car, and I really enjoy driving it. Very sporty looking and lots of featrues.

CarGurus recommends the 2022 Kia K5
Summary
With 2,350 currently listed for sale and an average price of $19,862, 33.2% of 2022 Kia K5 listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2022 Kia K5 4.73 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 7.83 / 10.
74.0% of 2022 Kia K5 listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2022 Kia K5 stands out as Kia’s midsize sedan after the name change from Optima, and its appeal starts with a rakishly attractive design and a strong value proposition in a shrinking segment. It is also described as comfortable, with good safety ratings, which helps make it an easy car to recommend for buyers who want a stylish family sedan without moving up to something larger or more expensive.
For the 2022 model year, the K5 wears Kia’s redesigned emblems, and upper trim levels add standard features. A new Premium option package for the GT-Line AWD brings upgraded headlights, a heated steering wheel, a panoramic sunroof, Highway Driving Assist technology, and adaptive cruise control that can automatically adjust vehicle speed for curves. Those updates add some welcome polish and convenience, though the K5 is still noted for fairly pedestrian performance and an unimpressive voice recognition system.
