2022 Kia K5 Trims Comparison

LX
The base LX trim comes with an appealing mix of features, including:

• 180-horsepower turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine
• Eight-speed automatic transmission
• 16-inch wheels
• LED headlights
• Dual-zone automatic climate control
• 8-inch touchscreen
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (with wireless connectivity)
• Six-speaker sound system

All K5s also come with these advanced safety features:

• Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
• Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
• Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)

LXS
Adds the following at a very reasonable price:

• Proximity keyless entry and push-button start
• Remote start
• 60/40-split folding rear seats with a center armrest
• USB ports for rear passengers
• Smartphone-based remote monitoring and control
• Blind-spot monitor (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
• Rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle behind you is about to cross your vehicle's path while in reverse)
• Rear passenger safe-exit system (can prevent a rear passenger from opening a door into vehicles approaching from behind)

GT-Line
Similar to the LXS but has:

• Additional sporty and black exterior treatments
• 18-inch wheels
• Foglights
• Power-adjustable driver's seat
• Cloth and simulated leather upholstery
• Leather-wrapped steering wheel
• Wireless smartphone charging pad
• 10.25-inch touchscreen (deletes wireless connectivity for CarPlay and Android Auto)
• Integrated navigation system

The GT-Line is available with the GT-Line Premium package:

• Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the K5 and the vehicle in front)
• Panoramic sunroof
• Ambient interior lighting
• Heated steering wheel (with AWD only)
• Gloss-black exterior trim

EX
Forgoes the GT-Line's sporty look but adds a dash of luxury with:

• Panoramic sunroof
• Heated and ventilated front seats
• Climate control vents for rear passengers
• Simulated leather upholstery
• Rear parking sensors

The available EX Premium package comes with:

• Adaptive cruise control
• Forward parking sensors
• Driver's seat memory settings
• Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the K5 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
• Rear automatic braking (brakes if sensors detect an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
• 12-speaker premium Bose sound system
• Power-adjustable front passenger seat
• Heated steering wheel

GT
The performance-oriented GT is equipped much like the EX. It also has:

• 290-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine
• Eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shifters
• Upgraded brakes
• Sport-tuned suspension
• Most of the GT-Line's styling flourishes
• Front sport seats

The GT's optional GT-1 package largely gets you the features from the EX Premium package.
