If anyone saw the black edition and weren't familiar with most luxury brands, they could easily confuse this car for something more high end

[aye]

They absolutely nailed it! Shame this is not available in the UK.

The facelift is growing on me, but I don’t think it—or any of Kia’s recent refreshes/facelifts—look better than the previous designs. The interior updates is where Kia truly shines!

I plan to buy a 2025 K5. The “refresh” was certainly worth waiting for…

[iftheshoefits]

i love the front, but i'm still on the fence about the back end of the car. is this going to be coming to the U.S?

[YakubNg]

it'll probably grow on me later but i still prefer the current look of K5. Sporty but not too aggressive.

I have the 2014 Kia Optima turbo, which my daughter is still driving and still love. We bought the Kia 2021 K5 and love it also. We looked at the 2024 K5 and didn't see much of a difference. Now checking out the 2025 K5 I love the look and will wait to trade in my 2021 K5 for the 2025 K5

[tidalll_]

finally a refresh! i’ve been waiting for the new K5 to get digital dash and all the other goodies, very sleek looking car in and out

[gangatalishis]

the facelift is nice but I do prefer the look of the current model with the amber led headlights

[rolyreyes]

Looks good, I like more the front end than the rear. Current gen has better looking taillights imo. I hope they bring it to the US market with the panoramic sunroof, fog lights, the rear black spoiler (which I didn't see here) and the front ambers DRLs...

[nwwcjol]

The amber lights are better on the current but it still looks cool 2021-23 model will be legendary always

[lorenzotarver]

Kia should have made that chrome ribbon strip across the back black it would've been the finishing touch to an all black edition.

I'm a Honda/Toyota fan but I'd take this over a 24' Accord or Camry any day. Kia went north with their designs and powertrain options, but Honda/Toyota went south in my opinion.

[waynerm]

I’ve always been a fan of the Optima/K5, owned 3 and two Stingers. It’s nice that they are updating the looks but, these days I prefer the EV6 styling. Love the orange interior color and dash layout. Is there a plug in hybrid version of the K5?

[Xtyquan]

The generation tail lights they have now is way better I think they should leave it alone.

[hoonaynay]

I always had an issue with the k5 interior but glad it’s finally been updated. 멋있게 생겼어요

[jeanninephillips]

I have the 2016 K5 (Optima), idk I may need to upgrade to this although I've been wanting a SUV? We shall see!!

[yahshuathurman]

Been wanting a K5 for the longest time now and obviously veen planning to nab the current gen. BUT this is a welcome surprise! To compare them: Love both new and old style front ends. Both are unique, eye catching and aggressive. New gen has wayyy better wheel designs for the most part. I think old gen still has a better looking tail end, but I do appreciate the new gen having all LED back lights from the looks. And the new gen definitely has the nicer, sleeker, more luxurious and tech savvy interior. My conclusion... looks like I'm scoping for the New Drop 🥶🧊

Hi Mari ❤️
I love the wolf grey color 👍🙂

[blubyuify]

I think it looks pretty awesome. Might have to consider it on my next new car purchase.
