The 2026 Kia K5 is a bold reimagining of the midsize sedan, blending cutting-edge technology, striking design, and refined performance. With its sleek fastback profile, advanced connectivity, and an interior designed for comfort, the K5 challenges expectations and sets new standards in its class.
Exterior Design: A Dynamic and Captivating Presence
The 2026 K5 makes an immediate impression with its fastback-inspired silhouette, bold LED headlamps, and distinctive rear combination lamps. Sculpted three-dimensional body lines give it a confident, sporty profile. With color options like Moonscape Matte Gray, Aurora Black Pearl, Wolf Gray, and Snow White Pearl, every driver can choose a finish that reflects their style.
Interior Innovation: Comfort Meets Technology
Step inside, and the K5 surrounds you with a blend of sophistication and innovation. A panoramic curved display unites a 12.3-inch driver cluster with a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, providing intuitive access to navigation, entertainment, and Kia Connect features. Over-the-air updates ensure your tech stays current, while Streaming Plus delivers music and video directly through the infotainment system.
For convenience, the Smart Power Trunk automatically opens when you approach with your key, while interior touches like Martian Brown or Sand upholstery options and double-laminated glass create a quiet, premium cabin.
