Kia has taken a bold step with the introduction of the 2025 K4, a completely redesigned compact sedan that made a splash at the New York Auto Show. Moving away from the Forte, the K4 brings a fresh, cyberpunk-inspired look to the compact car market. It features a fastback roofline influenced by the sporty Stinger, broad rear fenders, and striking front and rear end treatments. These elements combine to give the K4 a dynamic and modern appeal that stands out in a crowd.
The K4 retains some tried and true features under the hood, like the reliable 147-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine from its predecessor. However, it spices things up with a new 190-hp turbocharged engine available in the higher trims, adding a burst of power and excitement. The new model also benefits from an advanced suspension setup and an eight-speed automatic transmission, ensuring that the K4 is as fun to drive as it is to look at.
