Examples

Kia K5 cargo examples.

Kia K5 trunk space

Kia lists 15.6 cubic feet of trunk capacity. The ItemFits observed catalog represents the usable floor at about 40 inches deep and 38 inches wide with the rear seats up.

Kia K5 cargo length with seats folded

The 60/40 rear seatbacks extend usable load length to about 68 inches. Trim and model year can change the pass-through, so measure your own car before relying on the full floor length.

Kia K5 trunk opening

Kia does not publish a linear trunk-lid opening. The 38 by 16 inch figure used here is a conservative catalog estimate, not a manufacturer measurement. The opening and folded-seat pass-through are the first dimensions to verify on your K5.

Measure smart

What to measure.

Four numbers decide nearly every fit check. Get these right and the rest follows.

  1. 01The opening width and height of the trunk or liftgate, not just the total volume, since the opening is what an item has to pass through.
  2. 02The load-floor length behind the rear seats, then again with the seats folded.
  3. 03The height available under the roofline or parcel shelf, measured at the lowest point.
  4. 04Your item at its widest point, including feet, handles, and packaging.

Don't make these

Common mistakes.

Most “it didn't fit” stories trace back to one of these oversights.

  1. ⚠Trusting the cubic-foot figure and assuming a wide item will fit, when the opening is narrower than the item.
  2. ⚠Measuring the cargo floor but forgetting the roofline tapers toward the opening.
  3. ⚠Ignoring that a full-size spare, subwoofer, or hybrid battery eats into the quoted volume.
  4. ⚠Folding only one seat when the long item needs the full flat load floor.

Frequently asked

Questions we keep getting.

  • How big is the Kia K5 trunk?

    Kia lists 15.6 cubic feet. The ItemFits observed catalog uses a practical floor box of about 40 inches long, 38 inches wide, and 16 inches high behind the rear seats.

    01
  • How long is the Kia K5 cargo area with the seats folded?

    The observed catalog uses about 68 inches of load length with the 60/40 rear seats folded. The pass-through is smaller than the full trunk, so measure its width and height for rigid items.

    02
  • What are the Kia K5 trunk-opening dimensions?

    Kia does not publish a linear opening measurement. ItemFits uses a conservative estimate of about 38 inches wide by 16 inches high and labels it derived. Measure your own lid opening before buying or collecting a close-fit item.
