Kia K5 Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The Kia K5 is a midsize sedan, and the 2027 model year brings a small price increase and a trimmed-down lineup. The EX trim from 2026 is gone, so the range now runs from the LXS through two GT-Line versions to the GT. If you saw a different number for the 2026 K5, it likely belongs to the previous model year.

All 2027 prices in this section are MSRP before destination. The destination charge has its own section, and the 2026 figures are in the price history so the two years do not get mixed.

The LXS is the starting trim at $27,690. The GT-Line FWD costs $28,690, and the GT-Line AWD costs $30,290. At the top, the GT is priced at $33,790.

The drivetrain letters matter. FWD means front-wheel drive and AWD means all-wheel drive, so the gap between the two GT-Line versions reflects the drivetrain, since both are the same trim. Compare like for like when you shop.

Kia adds a destination fee of $1,245 to the 2027 K5, per Carscoops.

It is charged on every new K5 and shows on the window sticker. It is not part of the MSRP figures above, so add it to any trim to estimate the sticker total. Some dealers advertise prices before destination, while others include it, so confirm which basis you are comparing.

The 2027 K5 costs slightly more at each trim we can match:

The 2026 LXS FWD was listed at $27,490, against $27,690 for 2027. The 2026 GT-Line FWD was $28,490, and the AWD version was $30,090. The 2026 GT started at $33,590.

The 2026 EX FWD, listed at $34,990, was dropped for 2027. If you want to compare against Car and Driver's 2026 numbers, they listed a range of $28,735 – $36,235 for the LXS through the EX. That range is from a different source than the trim list above, and the source does not say whether destination is included, so treat it as a general reference.

• Trim. The LXS, GT-Line, and GT each bundle different equipment.
• Drivetrain. Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions of the same trim are priced differently.
• Options and accessories. Kia sells packages and accessories separately, and their cost varies by trim and dealer.
• Color. Some colors may add to the price.
• Dealer add-ons. Anything installed at the dealership should appear as its own line on the quote.

The GT-Line and the GT sit at the upper end of the lineup. The GT is the most expensive at $33,790, while the GT-Line is listed from $28,690. Rather than judging by price alone, compare the standard equipment and the drivetrain on each, and ask for a test drive of both.

Midsize sedans often sell closer to the sticker than high-demand SUVs, but local supply decides. A dealer may offer a discount, charge the MSRP, or occasionally add a markup. None of this is reflected in the MSRP.

Ask several dealers for an itemized out-the-door quote showing the vehicle price, destination, documentation fees, taxes, and add-ons. Check Kia's website for current incentives that may apply to the exact model year.

• Fuel. Fuel use depends on the engine and drivetrain. Check the official economy figures for the trim you want.
• Insurance. Rates depend on your driving record, location, and trim.
• Tires and brakes. Replace them on schedule, since both affect safety.
• Maintenance. Follow the owner's manual and ask the dealer what the warranty covers.
• Registration and taxes. These vary by state.

Monthly payments depend on credit, term, down payment, and rate. Kia sometimes advertises finance or lease deals on specific trims, and they change. Compare them with a quote from your bank or credit union. For advice on your own finances, consult a licensed financial professional.

Use Kia's website to build a K5 and see current offers, then ask a local dealer for a written quote.
