Kia has added a new model to its growing and revamped lineup, the Kia K4.
With an overall length of 185.4 inches and 72.8 inches in width, this compact sedan is on the
larger end of the segment. The first thing you’ll notice is the hidden rear door handles on the C-pillar which makes the fastback proportions stand out, giving the vehicle a slick, fast, sporty look, at what should be an incredible price. Even though this design typically cuts into interior dimensions, Kia somehow afforded 14.6 cubic feet of trunk space, while still giving 38 inches of leg room to 2nd row passengers.
5 trim levels are set to be available in the United States, the LX, LXS, EX, GT-Line and GT-Line Turbo. A 147hp 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with 132 lb.-ft. of torque will be standard. Available, is the turbocharged 1.6L 4-cylinder engine producing 190hp and 195 lb.-ft. of torque, attached to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
There are a ton of features the K4 will possess and the list is quite impressive. The vehicle 
can be unlocked, locked, and started with an NFC-enabled smart card as a virtual key. For the drivers convience, a standard 12.3 inch wide-screen digital display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android auto sits on the dashboard perfectly. An available 360° surround view camera system can be accompanied by Blind-Spot monitoring which displays a live video feed on the left and right gauges in the digital gauge cluster. Paring the available Harman Kardon premium audio system with the available panoramic sunroof makes for a perfect day or night drive. For added comfort, heated front seats are standard on K4 GT-Line and above.
The GT-Line and GT-Line Turbo have a few features that sets them apart from the others.
- Sport-tuned fully independent suspension
- Sport-tuned exhaust note
- Exclusive 18 inch alloy wheels
- Contrasting sport inspire interior
- Unique front and rear fasciae with gloss black accents
- And more!
The All-New Kia K4 is expected to arrive in the US market late summer of 2024.
