The 2025 Kia K5 arrives this year with a fresh face, but that’s not all that this midsize sedan has to offer. With its thrilling performance and innovative technologies, the K5 has a clear advantage over its competition.
5 Standout Features of the 2025 Kia K5
1. Exciting Powertrain Options
For 2025, the K5 gets an all-new standard engine. This naturally aspirated 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine averages an EPA-estimated 30 MPG combined and creates 191 horsepower, which is an increase of 11 horsepower over last year’s standard engine. Enthusiasts will love the GT’s turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, which makes 290 horsepower and accelerates the K5 from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds. For more control in rain and snow, the GT-Line is available with all-wheel drive.
2. Smart Trunk
Convenience comes standard on the K5, thanks to features that help with everyday tasks, like its Smart Trunk. When your hands are full, there’s no need to fumble for your keys in your pocket or purse. Just stand behind the trunk with your Smart Key for 3 seconds, and watch it open automatically. Inside, there’s plenty of space for luggage and groceries, and the 60/40 split-folding rear seat can create even more space when you need it.
3. Safe Exit Assist
When you’re on the road, the K5’s standard driver assistance technologies help you detect and avoid danger. Its Safe Exit Assist can even help keep you safe after you’ve shut off the engine. This system’s sensors scan the road behind you for approaching vehicles. If a vehicle is detected, you’ll receive a warning so you can wait until the road is clear to step out of your K5.
4. Kia Connect
Your K5’s cabin can be warmed or cooled to the perfect temperature before you even get inside with a complimentary 3-year subscription to Kia Connect. This service enables smartphone features like remote climate, remote start, and remote lock, so you can control your vehicle from anywhere. Kia Connect’s features don’t end at convenience, however. It can also help law enforcement recover a stolen vehicle or automatically call for help if an airbag deploys.
5. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Pairing your compatible smartphone to the K5’s 12.3-inch touchscreen display is simple, thanks to included wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Once you’re connected, you can view your phone’s apps and driving directions on the display. You can also play your favorite sounds on the standard six-speaker audio system or the available 12-speaker Bose Premium Audio System.
These are just a few of the features that are turning more drivers into K5 owners every day. To experience them for yourself on a test drive, reach out to our sales team at Kia of West Chester in West Chester, PA.
