In the U.S., Kia’s 2024 sedan lineup consisted of two models: the compact Forte and midsize K5. Kia’s original announced prices started at $19,990 for the Forte LX and $25,590 for the K5 LXS, before a $1,155 destination fee. The Forte offered the lower starting price and a manual-transmission GT option; the larger K5 lineup included an available all-wheel-drive GT-Line and a 290-hp GT.
Which Kia sedans were in the 2024 U.S. lineup?
Kia America’s model-year archive lists the Forte and K5 as 2024 models. It lists the Rio and Stinger under 2023, not 2024, so neither belongs in the U.S. 2024 lineup. This is a U.S.-market answer; Kia’s U.S. archive does not establish the lineup for other countries. Kia America’s model archive
The Forte is the compact, lower-priced choice. The K5 is the larger sport sedan, with a higher starting price and a more powerful top trim. Kia’s original announced MSRPs are useful for comparing launch prices, but they are not current used-car values, dealer quotes, or out-the-door costs.
How much did the 2024 Kia Forte cost?
Kia announced these U.S. model-year MSRPs in 2023. Every listed amount excludes the $1,155 destination fee.

Kia also said the GT-Line Tech Package was no longer available. Kia’s Forte 2024 pricing and equipment announcement

Kia described the 2024 K5 as largely a carryover and identified one change: GT-Line FWD gained standard heated front seats. Display, audio, wheel, and driver-assistance equipment vary across K5 trims; confirm the equipment and package availability on the exact vehicle rather than assuming it applies to every GT-Line or K5.

- For more power: the Forte GT’s 201 hp is above the other Forte trims, while the K5 GT’s 290 hp is the highest published rating across these two sedans.
- For AWD: Kia listed AWD on the K5 GT-Line, not as a separate Forte configuration in the 2024 trim information.
- For a launch-price comparison: add the announced destination charge to the original MSRP, then compare with current local listings. Taxes, other fees, incentives, vehicle condition, mileage, and present-day market prices are not established by Kia’s original pricing releases.
Because these are model-year launch specifications, they do not establish what a particular car costs now or how it performs on the road. For a used-car purchase, compare the actual vehicle’s trim, equipment, mileage, condition, and local asking price; verify options and safety equipment from its window sticker or vehicle records.
