What the Kia K5 sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the K5, latest tested year 2026:
The label also prints an estimated $2,100 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 311 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the K5 under Large Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the K5's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 2021 to 2026. Worth checking before you compare a K5 sticker from one year with another:
The figure actually fell by 2 mpg across the span — usually a sign of added weight or power. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
Safety ratings printed on the label
The second required block: NHTSA's five-star crash results. This is what the K5 sticker carries as of its 2026 rating:
Stars are awarded per test, so a car can hold five overall and fewer for rollover — tall vehicles usually give ground there. Compare against every rated model in the safest cars ranking.
What a used K5 sells for now

Where to find the VIN on a Kia K5
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every K5, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Kia K5 all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Kia K5 whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
