2027 Kia K5 Pricing: U.S. Sedan Starts at $27,690

The 2027 Kia K5 starts at $27,690 in the U.S., with three trims, available all-wheel drive and a 290-horsepower GT at the top of the range.

Kia confirms 2027 K5 pricing for the U.S.

Kia America has announced pricing for the 2027 Kia K5, the brand’s midsize sedan for the U.S. market. The new model year is largely a carryover, but the lineup receives equipment updates and a simplified trim structure.

The 2027 Kia K5 starts at $27,690 MSRP, excluding a $1,245 destination charge. Kia has discontinued the EX trim, leaving three versions for American buyers: LXS, GT-Line and GT.

The 2027 Kia K5 carries over its bold sedan design while continuing with three U.S. trim levels.

The entry-level K5 LXS FWD costs $27,690. The GT-Line starts at $28,690, while the GT-Line AWD is priced at $30,290.

At the top of the range, the K5 GT costs $33,790 before destination and other charges. The pricing gives buyers several ways to move from the standard sedan into versions focused more heavily on technology or performance.

Kia has also made all-wheel drive available on the GT-Line. The system is designed to distribute torque between the front and rear axles to provide additional traction and control in different driving conditions.

More standard safety technology

One of the key features of the 2027 K5 is its focus on driver assistance. Kia says the sedan comes with 17 standard collision avoidance and safety-assistance features across the lineup.

The equipment is designed to provide additional support in situations such as forward collision risks, lane departures and blind-spot monitoring. Kia also notes that these systems do not replace attentive driving.

The K5 continues to combine this safety technology with a driver-focused cabin. Available features include a 24-inch combined panoramic display, wireless smartphone integration and a range of convenience features depending on trim.

The GT-Line adds sportier exterior styling and remains available with all-wheel drive for 2027.

For 2027, Kia is also adding a new convenience package for the GT-Line. It includes features such as ventilated front seats, a driver memory seat and power-folding outside mirrors.

That makes the GT-Line a stronger middle option in the range. It combines the K5’s sporty design with additional comfort features without moving all the way to the GT.

The K5 also remains focused on technology. Kia’s current U.S. model page highlights an available 12.3-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with additional cabin technology depending on configuration.

The K5 GT keeps its 290-hp turbo engine

The K5 GT continues to be the performance-focused model in the 2027 lineup.

It uses a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 290 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. Kia pairs the engine with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The GT also receives a sport-tuned suspension, 19-inch alloy wheels and a GT-specific steering wheel with paddle shifters.

Kia lists a 0-60 mph time of 5.4 seconds for the K5 GT, based on AMCI Testing Certified results from the 2025 model. The manufacturer notes that actual performance can vary with conditions and equipment.

The K5 GT remains the most performance-focused version, with a 290-hp turbocharged engine.

The rest of the lineup continues with the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which produces 186 horsepower. The GT-Line can also be equipped with AWD, giving buyers another option for additional traction.

Fuel economy varies by trim and configuration. Kia’s U.S. specifications list up to 30 mpg combined for the LXS, while the GT-Line and GT have different ratings based on their engines and equipment.

For American sedan shoppers, the 2027 K5 therefore keeps a familiar formula. Buyers get a midsize four-door with standard safety technology, available AWD and a performance-oriented GT.

The 2027 Kia K5 is a U.S.-market model, and its new pricing starts at $27,690 before the $1,245 destination charge. With the EX removed, the lineup is now focused on LXS, GT-Line and GT versions.
