If you’re on the hunt for a stylish and smart compact sedan, be sure to check out the all-new Kia K4. This exciting new car truly delivers, with segment-topping technology, a comfortable interior, and incredibly smart safety systems.

The 2025 Kia K4 is available in five trims: LX, LXS, EX, GT-Line, and GT-Line Turbo.

Technology

While most automakers are focusing solely on SUVs, Kia knows how important it is to offer affordable sedans that still meet expectations — especially when it comes to connected technology. The 2025 K4 houses a standard 12.3-inch wide screen digital display with wireless Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto™ so you can easily use your favorite compatible apps on the go without worrying about cords. The touch screen also features frequently used Quick Controls, letting you access your recent apps with a simple swipe.

An available tech feature that you’ll find on the new Kia K4 includes Digital Key 2.0 with Ultra Wideband, which lets you use a smartphone, smart device, or NFC-enabled card as a virtual key to lock, unlock, and drive the car. You can even share these digital keys with friends and family via text messages. There’s also the available voice assistant through Kia Connect that works with voice control when you say, “Hey Kia.” This useful tool can assist with things like controlling the climate in the cabin, adjusting audio, getting sports scores, and more — all hands-free!

Comfort

Even though it’s classified as a compact sedan, the K4 offers class-leading second-row legroom (38 inches) to ensure that everyone is comfortable. The spacious interior comes in a variety of attractive colors depending on trim, including Medium Gray, Slate Green, Onyx, and Off-White. The GT-Line models feature a contrasting sport-inspired interior design.

Regarding luxurious amenities, the K4 GT-Line goes above and beyond with comfort thanks to standard heated front seats. If you want to go even further with convenience, be sure to add the optional driver’s seat memory function and ventilated front seats.

Performance

You’ll have the choice between two powertrains on the 2025 Kia K4. The standard 2.0-liter engine was made to be the most efficient and is paired with an Intelligently Variable Transmission. You can expect to reach up to 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque with this setup.

For more exhilaration behind the wheel, turn to the optional 1.6-liter turbocharged engine that delivers 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, which can be controlled by the gear shifter or with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Amp up the K4’s athleticism with an available turbo sport-tuned exhaust note that lets everyone know you mean business.

Design

When you first see the new K4, you’ll notice that it follows a similar design pattern as other Kia models like the K5 and Forte. This “Opposites United” design philosophy was implemented on the K4 with its fastback roofline and wide stance, delivering a small yet roomy sedan. But as it measures 185.4 inches long and 72.8 inches wide, the new K4 is one of the largest vehicles in the compact segment.

Standard design elements on the Kia K4 include vertically oriented LED headlights and taillights (inspired by the all-new EV9 electric SUV) and hidden rear door handles in the C-pillar. The K4 GT-Line models offer more visual excitement with exclusive elements like gloss black accents, 18-inch alloy wheels, small cube LED projection headlights, and more.

Safety

Kia has stated that the new K4 delivers “segment-above ADAS.” These advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS) are working in the background to help you arrive to your destination safely every time. This includes standard features like Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go.

Even more comprehensive safety features become standard and available on higher trims, including Evasive Steering Assist, Forward Collision Avoidance 2, Highway Driving Assist, and a Surround-View Monitor that gives you a 360-degree view when you’re parking or in reverse.
