The four-door Kia K5 sedan is packed with comfortable features and driving capabilities. In 2025, this sharp-looking car received a 5-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).[1] It also comes with Kia’s 10-year/100,000-mile warranty.
Kia rebranded the Optima as the K5 in 2021.[2] While the K5 continues to offer style on a budget, it’s relatively expensive to insure compared to other vehicles in Kia’s lineup. Insuring a Kia K5 costs an average of $262 per month for full coverage and $139 per month for liability-only coverage.
Here’s what you should know about finding car insurance for your Kia K5.
Quick Facts
USAA, State Farm, and Allstate offer some of the cheapest Kia K5 insurance, with full coverage costing less than $200 per month, on average.
Kia K5 insurance is typically more expensive than the national averages of $193 for full coverage and $107 for liability-only coverage.
Certain Kia models are easy targets for thieves, possibly contributing to higher Kia K5/Optima insurance costs.
Cost of Kia K5 insurance by model year
Insurance companies consider multiple factors when calculating insurance premiums.[3] While your vehicle’s age, safety features, and trim level influence your insurance costs, personal factors like your age and gender, driving record, ZIP code, and coverage types also play a role.

How to ensure you have enough coverage on your Kia K5
Buying enough coverage for your Kia K5 can protect your wallet from an accident ’s financial fallout. Although most states require liability insurance at a minimum, experts often recommend buying more than the state-required minimum to protect yourself financially.[5]
If you finance your K5, your lender will likely require full coverage. Even if you own your car outright, full coverage is worth considering, especially if you can’t afford to replace your vehicle if it’s totaled.
As you explore your options, consider the following coverage types:
Liability coverage
Most states require drivers to carry liability insurance. Bodily injury liability covers injuries you cause to another driver or their passengers, while property damage liability pays for damages you cause to someone else’s car or other property.
Collision coverage
After a car accident, collision insurance pays to repair or replace your vehicle up to the policy limits.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive insurance pays for non-collision damage to your vehicle caused by theft, vandalism, or severe weather.
For additional information about Kia K5 insurance, see the answers to some frequently asked questions below.
USAA, State Farm, and Allstate offer the most affordable car insurance for the Kia K5, Insurify data shows.
Yes. The Kia K5 is somewhat expensive to insure. On average, full coverage costs $262 per month, and liability-only coverage costs $139. That’s higher than the national average monthly rate of $193 for full coverage and $107 for liability-only coverage.
Many Kias, especially older models, lack advanced theft-deterrent features, making them frequent targets for theft. The rise in theft claims may have contributed to higher insurance rates.
Methodology
Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 90 million quotes served to car insurance applicants in Insurify’s proprietary database to calculate the premium averages displayed on this page. These premiums are real quotes that come directly from Insurify’s 500+ partner insurance companies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Quote averages represent the median price for a quote across the given coverage level, driver subset, and geographic area.
Unless otherwise specified, quoted rates reflect the average cost for drivers between 20 and 70 years old with a clean driving record and average or better credit (a credit score of 600 or higher).
Liability-only premium averages correspond to policies with the following coverage limits:
Bodily injury limits between state-minimum rates and $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
Property damage limits between $10,000 and $50,000
No additional coverage
Full-coverage premium averages correspond to the same bodily injury and property damage limits in addition to:
Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
Collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible
Quotes for Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, State Farm, and USAA are estimates based on Quadrant Information Services’ database of auto insurance rates.
