2025 Kia K5 GT (2.5T Front-Wheel Drive)
- Base Price: $33,090
- MPG Combined: 27
- Drive Type: Front-wheel drive
- Engine: 2.5-liter inline-4

The lovably absurd GT keeps blazing for 2025 with its 290-horsepower turbocharged engine, albeit after an $1,100 price hike. This is still about the most fun you can have behind the wheel of a family sedan, rivaled only by the closely related Sonata N-Line.
