Measuring 4,440 mm in length and 1,850 mm in width, the K4 is considered one of the most spacious models in its segment, offering 964 mm of legroom and 973 mm of headroom, particularly for rear seat passengers. Its 438-liter trunk offers practical space for both daily use and long journeys.
Notable design details include “Star Map” lighting, door handles hidden in the C-pillar, and the new “Sparkling Yellow” body color. For those seeking a sportier look, the GT-Line package offers additional details.
Kia offers five different engine options for the K4 to suit different needs. Two of these offer electric assistance. The entry-level model features a 115-horsepower 1.0 T-GDI gasoline engine, which can also be optioned as a mild hybrid.
The 150- and 180-horsepower 1.6 T-GDI versions come with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. A full hybrid option is planned to be added to the lineup starting in 2026.
The K4 is also a bold model in terms of technological equipment. The interior features a panoramic screen layout, including a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 5.3-inch climate control screen, and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on all trim levels. Upgraded trims offer additional features such as a wireless charging station and a Harman Kardon sound system. AI-powered voice assistant and digital key solutions also enhance the user experience.
The model is equipped with advanced driver assistance systems. Features such as a blind spot warning system, intelligent adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, cross-traffic alert during reversing, and a 360-degree camera system are among these features.
An advanced collision avoidance system, which detects vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists ahead and helps prevent collisions, is also included in the standard safety package.
