2025 Kia K5
From $27,190 MSRP* · 5-Star NHTSA Overall · Available AWD

Every new K5 at Dean McCrary Kia Hattiesburg, right here in the Hub City, comes with upfront pricing and factory warranty.
Awards & Safety, Honestly
This K5 generation hasn’t earned an IIHS Top Safety Pick. Rather than sugarcoat that, here’s the complete picture, along with what it has genuinely earned.
NHTSA
5-Star Overall Rating
The 2025 K5 claimed NHTSA’s top possible overall safety score.
Standard on Every Trim
17 Driver-Assist Features
Kia’s full collision-avoidance and driver-assist suite comes standard across the entire K5 range we carry, LXS through GT.
Kelley Blue Book · 2025
Highest-Rated Midsize Cars List
The K5 lands among KBB’s highest-rated midsize cars for 2025 — a broad editorial ranking rather than a specific award.
Dean McCrary Exclusive
Factory Warranty, Included
Powertrain coverage with no time limit and comes free with every new K5 leaving our lot, layered on top of Kia’s 10-year/100,000-mile factory warranty.
⚠ Here’s the honest IIHS take: this K5 generation scores Poor on the updated moderate overlap front crash test, which rules out a Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ designation. Small overlap front still earns a Good rating. See the FAQ below for the complete picture.
The Full Price Ladder

Standard Power or 290-HP GT
