Chronology
Predecessor

The Kia K4 is a compact car manufactured by South Korean automaker Kia. It was introduced in March 2024 as a replacement for the Forte/K3/Cerato, while the K3 nameplate was transferred to a subcompact car.

The car was first introduced on 21 March 2024, and was fully introduced on 27 March 2024, at the 2024 New York International Auto Show.[1] It is available as a 4-door sedan and a 5-door hatchback.[2]

Overview

[edit]

The K4 adopts the brand's "Opposites United" design language, it has vertical headlights and taillights with "pronounced edges" in the lighting signature and hidden rear door handles. The Sedan has fastback styling with a thick D-Pillar, whereas the Hatchback has a shooting brake design.[3][4]

The interior of the K4 has the Connected Car Navigation Cockpit operating system (debuted in the EV9) with two screens measures up to almost 30 inches (76 cm) when combined, two rows of physical controls for the important vehicle functions and a T-Bar gear lever (for the automatic transmission version) instead of a rotary selector. Other features found in the K4 are the Digital Key 2.0 with Ultra Wideband which allows customers to use their compatible devices or an NFC-enabled smart card as a virtual key and the first Kia to debut Al Assistant voice control technology by saying "Hey Kia".[3][5]
