2026 Kia K5 · Range-Topping Comfort
K5 EX
From $34,990 MSRP* · Ventilated Seats · Bose Audio
The EX serves as the K5’s comfort flagship, combining ventilated front seats, Digital Key 2.0, a heated steering wheel, a 12-speaker Bose premium sound system, and a 360-degree camera with blind-spot cameras. Power comes from the standard 191-hp engine — if turbo power is what you’re after, look at the GT instead. Every new K5 from Dean McCrary Kia Hattiesburg comes with upfront pricing and factory warranty.

Where EX Fits
Comfort, not raw power, is what puts EX at the very top of the price ladder. GT sits just below it but packs more horsepower.

Choose EX If…
Comfort, tech, and premium sound rank higher for you than outright power — think ventilated seats, Digital Key 2.0, and Bose audio.
Choose GT Instead If…
The 290-hp turbocharged engine and 8-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox appeal more to you — and you’ll spend a bit less than on the EX.

EX FAQs
How Much Does the 2026 Kia K5 EX Cost?⌄
MSRP on the 2026 K5 EX runs $34,990, not counting the $1,245 destination charge. For actual transaction pricing with today’s offers included, check live EX inventory.
What Does the EX Add Over the GT?⌄
The EX comes standard with ventilated front seats, Digital Key 2.0, a heated steering wheel, 12-speaker Bose premium sound, a power-adjustable passenger seat with driver’s-seat memory, a 360-degree camera with blind-spot cameras, side parking sensors, and faux wood trim.
Why Does the EX Cost More Than the GT, With Less Power?⌄
EX and GT simply target different drivers. The K5’s comfort-and-tech flagship is the EX, running the standard 191-hp 2.5L engine, while GT is built as the dedicated performance trim with its 290-hp turbo. What you’re paying extra for on the EX is premium Bose audio, ventilated seats, and the full driver-assist camera suite, not additional horsepower.
