Reference
Plain-language definitions for the market measures used in this report — and why each one matters when you're shopping.
Figures on this report are computed from a licensed multi-dealer listings and sales feed for the Kia K5 (new vehicles only), reduced to California. Two clocks apply: listing figures come from the 1,366 new listings observed in our dealer sample at the latest daily snapshot (Aug 16, 2026); sold-price and sales-volume figures cover the prior completed calendar month (October 2026) and are kept separate from asking prices. The dealer sample may not represent every vehicle for sale in the state. Values below our reporting threshold are withheld — never estimated — and every figure is labeled Observed or Estimated. Trend history reflects the feed's retained months and can lag the reporting period.
Market temperature compares the Kia K5 supply available in the state with how quickly vehicles have been leaving that market, expressed as an estimated days of supply — lower means supply is tighter relative to that pace. The days-of-supply figure is calculated by our market-data provider. It is not a measure of how long individual listings have been listed, and it is published only where the provider has enough state-level supply and sales history to support it.
