2025 KIA K4
2025 KIA K4
Kia's newest addition to its sedan lineup, the 2025 K4, brings a fresh take on what a compact car can be. Replacing the Forte, this new model turns heads with its bold lines and tech-forward approach. The K4 raises the bar by blending stylish good looks with practical features that'll appeal to drivers wanting more than just basic transportation for their daily commute.
Trim Levels (Exterior)
Each trim level of the K4 is designed to cater to different preferences, blending sleek styling with practical features. The LX trim comes standard with 16-inch alloy wheels and vertical LED headlights, giving it a clean and sophisticated look. Moving up to the LXS, chrome accents and 17-inch wheels enhance the exterior for a more premium appearance.
The EX model adds a sunroof and satin-finished 18-inch sport alloy wheels, offering a refined touch. GT-Line models introduce gloss black trim elements, sportier bumpers, and LED daytime running lights, while the GT-Line Turbo stands apart with LED cube projector headlights and a more aggressive front grille.
Engine (Power)
Two engines power the K4 lineup. The LX, LXS, and EX trims are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, paired with a continuously variable transmission for smooth and efficient acceleration. Those looking for more performance can opt for the GT-Line Turbo, which features a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine delivering 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. This trim pairs the engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission, enhancing responsiveness and power delivery for a more dynamic driving experience.
Performance
Driving characteristics vary across the lineup, with each trim offering a different balance of efficiency and handling. The standard suspension setup provides a comfortable ride suitable for everyday commuting, while the GT-Line models incorporate a sport-tuned suspension for sharper cornering and improved stability. Paddle shifters in the GT-Line and GT-Line Turbo trims allow drivers to manually control gear shifts, adding a more engaging element to the drive. Acceleration in the GT-Line Turbo is notably quick for the segment, reaching 60 mph in just over seven seconds, making highway merges and overtaking effortless.
Interior
Inside the K4, comfort and technology are blended into a well-organized cabin. The LX trim includes durable cloth seating and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Stepping up to the LXS adds a leather-wrapped steering wheel and premium cloth seats for a more refined feel. The EX introduces synthetic leather upholstery and a power-adjustable driver's seat.
For a more upscale experience, the GT-Line models offer a dual 12.3-inch digital display system, integrating the instrument cluster and infotainment screen seamlessly. The GT-Line Turbo enhances comfort further with ventilated front seats and an ultra-wide sunroof, creating a spacious and modern atmosphere.
Safety Features
Advanced safety technology is a key focus in the K4, with every trim including essential driver assistance features. Forward Collision-Avoidance assistance and Lane Keep Assist come standard, helping to prevent accidents by monitoring surrounding traffic and keeping the vehicle centered in its lane. The LXS and higher trims add Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance, improving visibility when changing lanes or reversing.
Higher trims such as the GT-Line include Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, making long drives easier by adjusting speed according to traffic conditions. The GT-Line Turbo further enhances safety with a 360-degree Surround View Monitor, providing a comprehensive view around the vehicle to assist with parking and maneuvering.
A combination of bold styling, modern technology, and advanced safety makes the 2025 Kia K4 a strong option in the compact sedan segment. With multiple trims offering a range of features, it provides a tailored experience for drivers looking for efficiency, comfort, or sportier performance.
