The 2026 Kia K5 continues its mission as a value-packed midsize sedan, offering two distinct powertrain options to suit different driving styles. The base 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque, achieving 25/36 mpg with front-wheel drive or 24/33 mpg with available all-wheel drive. For performance enthusiasts, the turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder cranks out an impressive 290 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, rocketing the GT trim from 0-60 mph in just 5.4 seconds while maintaining a respectable 23/33 mpg fuel economy rating.
The K5’s tech suite centers around a standard 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen running Kia’s latest operating system, which features over-the-air update capability. Safety takes priority with standard blind-spot monitoring, forward and reverse automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist. Higher trims unlock Highway Driving Assist, navigation-based cruise control, and an available 360-degree camera system with a premium 12-speaker Bose audio setup.
