K4

For the first time ever, now in 2025, the KIA brand is offering the revolutionary new K4 compact four-door sedan, starting at a low price of $21,990.

The new K4 features a modern and elevated design with a dynamic fastback style. The beautiful silhouette and modern front fascia extend to the sides, complemented by elegant lighting and a distinctive grill, appealing to upscale drivers who want an elegant and modern car at a very low price.

Kia’s focus on the K4 is to provide drivers with a compact sedan that offers more of everything: more room, more technology, and a very attractive modern style, all for a low price starting near $22K.

The top-of-the-line trim model, K4 GT-Line Turbo’s LED cube projector headlights create a wide stance and illuminate the road ahead, while the star-map daytime running lights (DRLs) provide a premium and modern presence so you can stand out both day and night. Pricing for this top trim model stays affordable near $28K.

This Kia sedan features class-leading interior room and a very attractive design, both inside and out, that looks like a much more expensive premium sedan. It feels larger and sophisticated.

The first-ever K4’s spacious interior boasts generous front row legroom and headroom, plus class-leading 2nd-row legroom, allowing you to comfortably bring along family and friends with room to make new memories.

As a driver who often has children and guest passengers, it’s great when the second row has more legroom, especially for weekend trips out of town, trips to Orlando’s amusement parks, or other fun outings, ensuring everyone has enough room to enjoy the ride.

K4 Replaces the KIA Forte

Although the K4 does not look at all like the former Kia Forte, the K4 is supposed to be the Forte’s replacement.

The K4 is a redesigned version of the Forte, which will no longer be in production, and the K4 replaces the affordable compact sedan Forte.

The K4 retains many aspects of the Forte, like low pricing, value, and size. However, this new K4 sedan offers a new, unique design that is much more attractive, trendy, modern, fancy, and stylish than the previous Forte.

“The all-new K4 advances Kia’s commitment to deliver sporty sedans with advanced technology and elevated performance,” said Steven Center, COO and EVP, Kia America. “Succeeding in the compact sedan segment means overdelivering on the features that customers want, and the K4 is designed to exceed expectations.”

K4 Fuel Efficiency from 39 to 40 Miles per Gallon

If we talk about saving and staying within a reasonable budget, driving the K4 sedan goes further than its low price; you can also save a lot with its very efficient gas consumption.

Driving the K4 sedan goes further than its low price; you can also save a significant amount with the very efficient engine, which produces 39 to 40 miles of driving for each gallon of gasoline.

Generous Standard Features

One of the reasons that attracts me to buy a Kia car is the large number of standard features included, which saves you money compared to other brands, especially premium brands, where you pay more for the base price and then also pay more for your desired features.

Just like the first Kia cars from a few years ago, which offered tons of standard features included in the base price, the new K4 offers Standard Wireless Apple CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto, which allows you to bring along many of your must-have apps, accessed via the intuitive touchscreen or hands-free with voice control.

Standard Auto Emergency Braking with Pedestrian, Cyclist, and Car Detection utilizes sensors and a camera to scan the road ahead for potential hazards, automatically applying the brakes when a potential collision is detected.

More Features

In addition to several standard features, optional enhancements can be added to your new K4.

Start your vehicle remotely and set the cabin temperature before you even step inside. Remote Start & Climate Control, along with other features, are part of the generous package included in the new K4 compact sedan.

The available Digital Key 2.0 allow for keyless entry and the ability to share your keys virtually with family and friends through the Kia Access app

K4 Engine

The Kia K4 sedan is powered by a standard 2.0L engine or an optional, more powerful 1.6L turbocharged engine in the GT-Line Turbo models.

Exclusive to the two top trim models, K4 GT-Line and GT-Line Turbo models, is a multi-link rear suspension that adds lateral stiffness and compliance for a sportier driving experience.

Kia engineers worked hard to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) through the addition of an available acoustic windshield and acoustic tires on K4 models with 18-inch wheels.

We all love the peace of mind of a long and extended warranty. The K4 is backed by Kia America’s 10-year or 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty that can give you peace of mind.

If you drive with low mileage, about 10,000 miles per year, then you can enjoy an extended 10-year warranty on the powertrain.
