The 2025 Kia K4 is an all-new compact sedan that replaces the Forte in the lineup. This compact sedan features a bold, sporty exterior, a well-crafted interior, and advanced safety tech. Let’s unpack the features of the Kia K4.
Exterior Styling
The K4 turns heads with a fastback roofline and wide rear fenders that bring out its sporty profile. The base LX model comes with 16-inch steel wheels, while the other trims get either 16-inch, 17-inch, or 18-inch alloy wheels. LED headlights and a smart liftgate are standard, and fog lights are available. The GT-Line trims amp up the style with more aggressive front and rear designs, unique wheels, and gloss-black exterior accents.
Power and Performance
This compact sedan is powered by a 2.0-liter engine with 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. An Intelligent Variable Transmission comes standard with Normal, Sport, and My Drive modes. The K4 gets up to 34 mpg combined, with 30 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway.
If you’re after more power, opt for the GT-Line Turbo model, which comes with a 1.6L turbo four-cylinder engine that makes 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. It’s mated with a responsive 8-speed automatic transmission and standard paddle shifters for a more engaging driving experience.
Interior and Comfort
Inside, the K4 starts with cloth seats, but premium cloth, combination, and leatherette seats are available on higher trims. Most models come with air conditioning and manual front seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control is available. The top-spec GT-Line trims add heated front seats, a 10-way power driver’s seat, and optional niceties like ventilated front seats and memory settings for the driver’s seat and mirrors. A sunroof is optional on the GT-Line and standard on the GT-Line Turbo trim.
In-Vehicle Technology
With the K4’s 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, everything you need is just a tap away. Connect your phone via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to stream music, ask for directions, use messaging apps, and make hands-free phone calls. You can also use voice commands to control music, ask for weather updates, and even search for destinations.
The K4 also includes SiriusXM, HD Radio, and an AM/FM audio system with four speakers. The available 5-inch climate display provides easy access to climate controls. Other upgrades include a 12.3-inch instrument panel, an 8-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, and a wireless charging pad.
Driver Assistance Features
The K4 is equipped with anti-collision tech and driver assistance features such as lane keeping assist, lane following assist, and smart cruise control with stop-and-go. A blind spot collision-avoidance assist system is available, along with a blind-spot view monitor, a 360-degree monitor, and front, side, and rear parking sensors.
