How much does the Kia K5 cost in today's market?
Used Kia K5 prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Round Range |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | $27,621 | $23,990 – $28,246 |
| 2024 | $25,004 | $25,004 – $26,394 |

| 2021 | $18,327 | $18,327 – $19,957 |
The Kia K5's current nationwide average price is $23,747, and over the past year that average reached a low of $22,124. Recently, prices have come down for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.
Is the Kia K5 a good car?
Yes — the Kia K5 is a strong used-car pick if you want style, comfort, and value in a midsize sedan. The all-generations owner rating is 4.65/5 across every model year in the data.
Owners consistently praise the K5 for its stylish design, comfortable ride, advanced technology features, and overall value for money. Many drivers also appreciate the smooth driving experience and the turbo engine option. Expert reviews reinforce that appeal with praise for the K5’s attractive design, comfortable ride, and strong value, while noting tradeoffs around the touch-sensing climate controls and the driving feel of most non-GT versions.
Expert reviews rate the 2022 and 2021 models among the highest across all years.
The main tradeoffs called out in expert reviews are the lack of a hybrid powertrain, the touch-sensing climate controls, and the fact that most versions are not especially fun to drive.
33.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
Are Kia K5 models reliable?
Owners across the lineup consistently give the Kia K5 strong marks for style, comfort, and value, and expert reviews also point to a smooth ride and a well-equipped cabin. The model’s broad appeal comes through in the way it blends everyday usability with a polished driving experience.
- Owners rate the Kia K5 between 4.0 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.
For used buyers, that combination suggests a solid ownership experience, especially if you choose a well-maintained example with a clean history and the features you want.
What should I look for when buying a used Kia K5?
Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 81.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
| Model Year | Accident-Free % |
|---|---|
| 2026 | 91.3% |
| 2025 | 89.4% |
| 2024 | 85.8% |
| 2023 | 79.5% |
| 2022 | 74.1% |
| 2021 | 71.2% |
Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2023 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; the GT-Line adds Highway Driving Assist, and EX trim adds a surround-view camera system, blind-spot cameras, side parking sensors, and automatic braking when reversing during parking.
- Infotainment: Every 2025 Kia K5 has a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and Kia Connect services.
- Fuel efficiency: The official EPA fuel economy estimate is 29 mpg in combined driving.
Which Kia K5 trim should I buy?
The 2025 Kia K5 offers these trims:
- LXS: The affordable entry point, with the 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and Kia Connect services; a smart choice if you want the core K5 experience at the lowest price.
- GT-Line: Adds a navigation system and wireless charging, plus all-wheel drive is optional here; this is the best-value trim if you want a more upscale feature mix without stepping all the way up to the pricier versions.
- EX: Brings the 12.3-inch digital instrumentation panel, the 24-inch Panoramic Display, and the most upscale cabin presentation in the lineup, along with the strongest feature set in the range.
- GT: The performance-focused trim with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder, an eight-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, sport-tuned suspension, faster steering ratio, larger brakes, and neon green brake calipers.
What Kia K5 do most buyers choose?
The Kia K5 years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.
| Model Year | Total Listings | Good + Great Deals % |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2,774 | 34.2% |
| 2023 | 2,451 | 34.2% |
| 2025 | 2,353 | 33.4% |
| 2022 | 2,345 | 33.3% |
| 2026 | 1,580 | 33.2% |
| 2021 | 1,467 | 31.9% |
Higher-volume years usually give you more shopping choice, more price competition, and a better chance of finding the trim and equipment mix you want. That’s why the most plentiful model years often become the most popular used picks.
What is the Kia K5's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | $20,108 | −8.95% |
| 2021 | $18,327 | −8.16% |
| 2024 | $25,004 | −5.26% |
| 2023 | $23,061 | −4.96% |
| 2025 | $27,621 | −2.22% |
The table shows broad downward movement across the K5 lineup, which can work in your favor if you’re shopping used. The biggest drops are in the older years, while the newer models are declining more slowly. That pattern suggests recent K5s are still holding relatively strong demand compared with earlier examples.
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
- 2024: 7/10
- 2022: 9/10
- 2021: 8/10
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. 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 −2.22% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −5.26%.
- Deal availability: The 2025 model has 33.4% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 34.2%.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $25,004. The Kia K5 offers a stylish design, a comfortable ride, and a strong value proposition that make it easy to live with.
Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: The latest K5 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 K5 has a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Kia Connect services, and a 12.3-inch digital instrumentation panel.
- Safety: The latest K5 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 the next model year's inventory to build up.

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 2,358 currently listed for sale and an average price of $20,112, 32.9% of 2022 Kia K5s for sale 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.
73.9% of 2022 K5 models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2022 Kia K5 stands out first because it is the midsize sedan that replaced the Optima name, giving Kia’s family car a fresh identity. It is also described as rakishly attractive and an undeniably good value, which helps explain why it remains appealing in a shrinking segment with fewer rivals each year. Buyers looking for a sedan that feels modern and distinctive will likely be drawn to its stylish design and comfortable character.
For 2022, the K5 wears Kia’s redesigned emblems, and upper trim levels add standard features. Kia also offers a new Premium option package for the GT-Line AWD that 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 to the K5’s appeal, though its performance is described as fairly pedestrian and its voice recognition system is unimpressive.
