2026 Kia K5 · 290-HP Performance
K5 GT
From $33,590 MSRP* · 290 HP · 8-Speed Wet DCT
This is the enthusiast's K5: a 2.5L turbo four cranking out a segment-topping 290 horsepower, routed through an 8-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, with sport-calibrated suspension and wheel-mounted paddles to match. Front-wheel drive is the only setup offered, and unlike some rivals' halo trims, you can actually drive one home from our lot today. Dean McCrary Kia Hattiesburg backs every new K5 with upfront pricing and factory warranty.

Genuine Performance
None of what's below shows up on any other K5 — the turbo engine lives exclusively in the GT.
Engine
290-HP 2.5L Turbo
311 lb-ft of torque and best-in-class output for the class, with third-party testers clocking roughly 5.4 seconds to 60 mph.
Transmission
8-Speed Wet Dual-Clutch
In place of the regular automatic, a genuine wet dual-clutch gearbox with shift paddles built into the steering wheel.
Chassis
Sport-Tuned Suspension
Firmer damper rates and rack-and-pinion steering, dialed in exclusively for this trim.
Exterior
Quad-Tip Dual Exhaust
A GT-only exterior detail — note that for 2026 the caliper badging drops the “GT” script in favor of a cleaner finish.

Choose GT If…
The turbo engine, the wet dual-clutch gearbox, and sport-calibrated handling are non-negotiable for you — GT is the only trim with all three.
Choose EX Instead If…
You'd rather have comfort than horsepower. Costing a little more than the GT, the EX skips the turbo in favor of ventilated seats, Digital Key 2.0, and a Bose sound system.

How Fast Is the K5 GT?⌄
Its turbocharged 2.5L four is rated at a segment-best 290 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque, sent through an 8-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, and independent testers have recorded roughly 5.4 seconds to 60 mph. The GT is offered exclusively in front-wheel drive, and it's ready to be ordered today.
What Does the GT Add Over the GT-Line?⌄
Where GT-Line runs the standard 191-hp engine and 8-speed automatic, the GT swaps in a 290-hp turbocharged 2.5L and an 8-speed wet dual-clutch, plus sport-tuned suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, wheel-mounted paddle shifters, and a quad-tip dual exhaust.
