What should I look for when buying a used Kia K5?
Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 82.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
| Model Year | Accident-Free % |
|---|---|
| 2027 | 91.7% |

| 2024 | 86.8% |
| 2023 | 80.6% |
| 2022 | 76.1% |
| 2021 | 73% |
Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2022 models.
Key things to evaluate:
- Safety package: Kia equips every K5 with a long list of driver-assist features, including intersection turn assistance, active blind-spot collision avoidance, and a leading vehicle departure alert.
- Infotainment: Every 2025 Kia K5 has a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Which Kia K5 trim should I buy?
The 2025 Kia K5 offers these trims:
- LXS: The entry trim gives you the K5’s core style and value, and it’s the affordable starting point for shoppers who want the model’s design and everyday usability.
- GT-Line: This sporty-looking trim adds all-wheel drive availability, a navigation system, wireless charging, and a more feature-rich setup that makes it the best-value choice for many buyers.
- EX: The EX brings the most upscale feel, with the 24-inch Panoramic Display, digital instrumentation, and the fullest equipment set in the lineup.
- GT: The GT is the performance-focused choice, with the turbocharged 2.5-liter engine, sport-tuned suspension, faster steering ratio, and larger brakes.
What Kia K5 do most buyers choose?
The Kia K5 years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2022.
| Model Year | Total Listings | Good + Great Deals % |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2,765 | 32.1% |
| 2023 | 2,465 | 31.3% |
| 2022 | 2,400 | 30.6% |
| 2025 | 2,282 | 31.8% |
| 2026 | 1,540 | 31.8% |
| 2021 | 1,509 | 29.8% |
Those higher-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare and a wider spread of prices and trims. They also sit in the part of the lineup where you can balance newer features with more accessible pricing.
What is the Kia K5's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | $20,360 | −8.12% |
| 2021 | $18,505 | −8.1% |
| 2024 | $25,185 | −5.34% |
| 2023 | $23,265 | −4.83% |
| 2025 | $27,599 | −2.68% |
The table shows broad downward movement across the model years listed, which can work in your favor if you’re shopping used. The largest drops are in the older years, while the newer years are declining more slowly. That creates a useful spread for buyers who want to balance price against age and equipment.
The 2025, 2023, and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
Is the Kia K5 safe?
- 2025: 8/10

For the safest used buy, the 2022 model posts the highest confirmed score of 9/10.
Should I buy a used Kia K5 now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −2.68% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −5.34%.
- Deal availability: The 2025 model has 31.8% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 32.1%.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $25,185. The Kia K5 offers a stylish, comfortable cabin with strong everyday value and a distinctive design that stands out in the midsize sedan class.
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 brings 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 a 24-inch Panoramic Display.
- Safety: The latest model adds Highway Driving Assist, a surround-view camera system, blind-spot cameras, side parking sensors, and automatic braking when reversing during parking.
- 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 2028 inventory to mature.

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 2021 Kia K5
Summary
With 97 currently listed for sale near New Orleans, LA and an average price of $19,749.00, 24.7% of 2021 Kia K5s for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2021 Kia K5 4.73 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 7.67 / 10.

Why it stands out
The 2021 Kia K5 stands out as an all-new sedan that replaces the Optima with more style and speed. It is presented as one of the most exciting mainstream sedans, and its appeal comes from a combination of stylish design and a driving experience that is described as surprisingly good. The K5’s new name and fresh approach are part of what make it distinctive, especially for buyers who want a sedan that feels more modern and expressive than the norm.
It also has practical appeal because it offers multiple powertrain options, which broadens its reach beyond a single setup. At the same time, the K5 is not without compromises: it drives less sporty than it looks, and all-wheel drive is not available. Even so, its balance of style, performance focus, and overall value helps explain why it is considered a strong choice in the midsize sedan segment.
