What’s New for the 2027 Kia K5?
The 2027 Kia K5 remains mostly unchanged, but there are some important changes to know about when comparing the 2027 and 2026 models.
The EX Trim Is No Longer Offered
For 2027, Kia simplifies the K5 lineup to three primary trims:
The 2026 K5 was available in four trims: LXS, GT-Line, EX, and GT. The EX has been discontinued for 2027.
If you’re looking for higher levels of comfort and convenience, the available GT-Line equipment and options are what you’re looking for.
