New Kia K5 for Sale in Brooklyn, NY
Plaza Kia keeps the new Kia K5 in stock at 2746 Nostrand Avenue in every trim. It is Kia's midsize sedan, roomier than a compact, sportier than most family sedans, and one of the few in its class with available all-wheel drive for New York winters, and here is what each trim costs and which one to pick.
What the new K5 costs
The new 2026 K5 opens at $27,490 for the LXS and runs to $34,990 for the EX, before the $1,245 destination charge. The LXS, GT-Line, and EX use a 191-horsepower 2.5L four-cylinder, the GT-Line is also offered with all-wheel drive, and the GT steps up to a 290-hp turbocharged engine. So you are choosing between style, all-weather traction, comfort, and performance; start with what matters most on your daily drive, and the trim mostly picks itself.

Every new K5 trim, compared
| Trim | Engine and drive | Signature equipment | From (MSRP) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LXS | 191-hp 2.5L, FWD | Kia's standard collision-avoidance and driver-assist suite, cloth seats | $27,490 | The lowest price into a K5 |
| GT-Line | 191-hp 2.5L, FWD | Sporty GT-Line styling, new 18-inch gloss-black wheels, available red interior and Premium Package | $28,490 | The sweet spot most buyers should start with |
| GT-Line AWD | 191-hp 2.5L, AWD | GT-Line content with all-wheel drive | $30,090 | All-weather traction for New York winters |
| GT | 290-hp 2.5L turbo, FWD | Sport-tuned performance, available GT1 package with premium tech | $33,590 | The quickest, most engaging K5 |
| EX | 191-hp 2.5L, FWD | Bose audio, heated steering wheel, 10-way power driver's seat, power-folding mirrors | $34,990 | The most comfort and convenience |
The GT-Line is where most Brooklyn drivers should start: for about $1,000 more than the LXS, it brings the sporty styling that sets the K5 apart, and the GT-Line AWD is the one to get if you want all-wheel drive for snowy side streets and trips upstate. Choose the EX if comfort matters most, with Bose audio, a heated steering wheel, and a power driver's seat. The GT is for drivers who want real performance, with 290 horsepower that makes merging onto the BQE effortless. Note that the EX sits above the GT in price, since it focuses on luxury features rather than power.
Warranty from day one
Buying new means the clock starts fresh, and you get Kia's full coverage as the original owner: 5 years or 60,000 miles of basic coverage and 10 years or 100,000 miles on the powertrain. That 10-year powertrain coverage belongs to the first owner only, which makes it one of the strongest reasons to buy a K5 new rather than used. Kia's collision-avoidance and driver-assist technology, including forward collision-avoidance assist and lane keeping assist, is standard on every trim.
The honest part: sedans are a shrinking segment, and the K5 is not the roomiest or most efficient. Some rivals offer a bit more rear-seat space and better fuel economy, and there is no hybrid K5, so if efficiency comes first, a Kia Niro Hybrid or Kia Sportage Hybrid is the better fit. All-wheel drive is only available on the GT-Line. And if you want a higher driving position for Brooklyn traffic, a Kia Sportage or Kia Sorento gives you SUV practicality at a similar price.
What makes it work here
The K5 gives you more room than a compact without the size of an SUV, which still matters when you are parallel parking on a Brooklyn block. Its low, sporty stance and fastback roofline stand out in a sea of crossovers, available all-wheel drive handles winter streets, and the GT's 290 horsepower makes highway merges on the Belt Parkway effortless. Every K5 includes Kia's collision-avoidance and driver-assist technology, which takes some stress out of stop-and-go traffic.
The recognition, briefly
Since replacing the Optima, the K5 has been praised for its bold design, sporty driving character, and value, and it earns a 5-star overall NHTSA rating. The GT's 290-horsepower turbo remains one of the most powerful engines in the midsize sedan class, and the K5's reputation supports resale value, which helps keep lease payments down.
