At Jim Butler Kia of St. Louis, the 2026 Kia K5 is turning heads for all the right reasons. This midsize sedan blends everyday practicality, advanced technology, and bold styling into a package that’s as fun to drive as it is easy to live with. It delivers incredible value for drivers seeking both sophistication and performance without compromising on quality or features.
Designed to Stand Out
In a world dominated by SUVs, the Kia K5 makes a confident statement with its sleek lines, aggressive stance, and unmistakable front and rear lighting design. It’s a sedan that commands attention, whether it’s parked downtown or cruising the open highway. The fastback-inspired silhouette isn’t just stylish, it’s aerodynamic, contributing to both fuel efficiency and high-speed stability.
Performance to Match the Looks
The standard 191-horsepower engine with 8-speed automatic transmission delivers smooth, responsive performance for daily driving. For those craving an extra dose of excitement, the K5 GT steps up with a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine producing an exhilarating 290 horsepower, paired with a sport-tuned suspension, upgraded brakes, quad-tip exhaust, and paddle shifters for an engaging driving experience.
All-wheel drive is available on the GT-Line trim, adding confidence in a variety of road conditions. And with precise steering feel and excellent road grip, every turn feels like it’s meant for you.
Fuel Efficiency and Practicality
With up to 26 MPG in the city and 37 MPG on the highway, the K5 is as efficient as it is stylish. Its spacious interior offers generous rear-seat legroom and a large 16-cubic-foot trunk, making it ideal for both commuters and families. The rear seats also fold down for added cargo flexibility, so road trips, shopping hauls, or weekend projects are never a problem.
An Interior That Feels a Class Above
Step inside the 2026 Kia K5, and you’re greeted by an upscale cabin designed with premium materials, thoughtful ergonomics, and advanced tech. The panoramic display includes a 12.3-inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, putting navigation, music, and apps right at your fingertips.
Available amenities such as a Bose® premium audio system, heated and ventilated seats, and a panoramic sunroof take comfort to the next level. Ambient interior lighting sets the mood for night drives, while dual-zone climate control keeps everyone comfortable no matter the season.
Confidence Through Technology
The K5 is packed with driver-assist features that make every journey more secure. Standard technologies include forward collision avoidance, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping assist. Available upgrades like the Blind-Spot View Monitor and Highway Driving Assist further enhance safety and convenience. The available Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go can even handle heavy traffic, adjusting speed automatically to maintain a safe distance.
Long-Term Peace of Mind
