GT

The GT is where the K5 turns up the excitement. A 2.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder delivers 290 hp and class-leading 311 lb.-ft. of torque, paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (wet type) for quick, precise shifts. The wide-track sport-tuned suspension, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, and available performance-enhancing Pirelli P-Zero® tires underline its dynamic intent. Outside, Neon Green GT brake calipers, 19-inch alloy wheels with gloss black and machined finish, a quad-tip dual exhaust, and a panoramic sunroof with power sunshade create an unmistakable presence. Acceleration is serious, with 0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds based on AMCI Testing Certified results of the prior-year GT. Inside, GT-specific touches and supportive seating maintain comfort while encouraging spirited drives. If you want a performance sedan that still respects daily life, the 2026 Kia K5 shows how to do it gracefully. At Russ Darrow Kia of Waukesha, we can help you feel the difference the sport-tuned hardware makes on backroads and freeway ramps alike. For enthusiasts who seek a car that is genuinely quick yet refined, the GT makes a compelling case with its power, poise, and high-value equipment mix.

EX

The EX focuses on premium convenience and clarity of information. You get 12.3-inch Dual Panoramic Displays for a 24-inch combined view of key driving and infotainment details, plus the Bose® Premium Audio System with 12 speakers that brings immersive sound to your playlist, podcasts, or calls. A panoramic sunroof with power sunshade, SynTex seat trim with heated and ventilated front seats, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a driver’s memory seat with side view mirrors make the K5 feel tailored to you. The 18-inch alloy wheels, power-folding side view mirrors, and side parking sensors add everyday ease. Just as important, the EX brings camera-based confidence with the Blind-Spot View Monitor and 360° Surround View Monitor, which helps simplify lane changes and low-speed maneuvering. Rear Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist further supports you in tight lots. At Russ Darrow Kia of Waukesha, we often see this trim appeal to shoppers who prize technology that actively reduces stress. It is also a great match for drivers who prefer intuitive controls, an upscale cabin, and quiet composure at highway speed, all without giving up the K5’s sleek proportions and engaging road feel.
