Set to replace the popular Forte for 2025, the K4 takes lessons from the dearly departed (from Canada) K5 sedan in terms of the headlight and grille styling, full-width taillight and two-tone wheels designs. The model also maintains a nice, low stance with an almost hatch-like rear deck, though it does have a traditional trunk.

Two engines will be available – a 2.0L naturally aspirated 4-cylinder good for 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque as well as a 1.6L turbo 4-cylinder making 190 hp and 195 lb-ft. Base models get an intelligent variable transmission, while the 1.6L gets paired with an 8-speed auto.

When is the Kia K4 coming?

The 2025 Kia K4 will start arriving in dealers in the second half of 2024; expect pricing closer to then.
