On March 27, Kia unveiled the all-new 2025 K4 compact four-door for its global debut at the 2024 New York International Auto Show.
As Kia’s fourth-generation compact sedan, the K4 is scheduled to arrive in the U.S. in the second half of 2024 in five trim levels: LX, LXS, EX, GT-Line and GT-Line Turbo.
• The front-wheel-drive K4 will offer a standard 2.0-liter engine that produces 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque, mated to an intelligently variable transmission (IVT), along with an optional 1.6-liter, turbocharged engine that produces 190 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque, mated an 8-speed automatic transmission.
• With an overall length of 185.4 inches and width of 72.8 inches, the K4 is the widest and has the largest footprint in the compact segment, along with a conventional trunk that affords 14.6 cubic feet of cargo capacity.
• Rear passengers will enjoy the ride with a class leading 38 inches of leg room and class leading head room at 37.3 inches.
• Standard, vertically oriented LED headlights and taillights take inspiration from the flagship EV9, while hidden rear door handles in the C-pillar emphasize the K4’s fastback proportions.
• The ultramodern Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) operating system with OTA capability projects across a combined nearly 30 inches of a digital display command center.
• The K4 offers the latest Kia ADAS suite, including standard Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, and Forward Collision Avoidance, among others.
