The 2025 Kia K5 offers these trims:

What Kia K5 do most buyers choose?

The Kia K5 years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2023.

These higher-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you the broadest mix of availability, pricing, and deal opportunities. That usually makes it easier to compare trims and find the right combination of features and value.

What is the Kia K5's resale value?

The K5’s used prices are moving lower across every model year shown, which is good news if you’re shopping for value. The biggest drops are in the older years, while the newer models are easing down more gradually. That pattern gives you more room to find a deal without giving up the newer features and updates.

The 2025, 2024, and 2023 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 2025, 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.

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 −1.95% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −5.09%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 34.8% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 34.3%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $24,661. The Kia K5 offers a distinctive design that helps it stand out in the midsize sedan class.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The new 2.5-liter four provides adequate acceleration and is reasonably quiet, and the official EPA fuel economy estimate is 29 mpg in combined driving.
• Tech: Every 2025 Kia K5 has a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and Kia Connect powers remote engine starting, cabin pre-conditioning, and a find-my-car function.
• Safety: The GT-Line adds a Highway Driving Assist system providing hands-on, semi-autonomous acceleration, braking, and steering.
• 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.
