A bold new chapter for Kia’s compact class.
The K4 was first revealed in 2024, is set to take the reins from the highly successful Kia Ceed. With a fresh design language, the K4 aims to bridge the gap between sporty styling and everyday usability. Its silhouette leans fastback, with a strong shoulder line, hidden rear door handles, and striking lighting signatures that accentuate its modern character.
Inside, Kia has outfitted the K4 with up-to-date tech, refined materials, and a focus on space. The dashboard integrates two digital displays in a widescreen format.
Under the bonnet, you can choose from multiple petrol engines — from efficient 1.0- and 1.6-litre naturally aspirated units to a more performance-oriented 1.6 T-GDi turbo variant in higher trims. Transmission options include manual, automatic, or dual-clutch setups, depending on the model.
K4 will be released with three derivatives. The ‘Pure’ entry trim will feature the new ccNC entertainment display, automatic air-conditioning and LED lights. Following this is ‘GT-Line’, which benefits from a sporty, more purposeful design with 17” wheels, privacy glass, heated seats and steering wheel. Finally, the top of the range ‘GT-Line S’ adds further impressive specification including a premium Harman Kardon 8-speaker audio system, sunroof and ventilated seats.
Prices in the UK start at £25,995 for the entry-level Pure model, with mid and top trims (GT-Line and GT-Line S) priced up to around £33,995. Standard equipment includes LED headlights, a twin 12.3″ display setup, and a range of driver assistance systems (lane keep assist, adaptive cruise, parking aids). the K4 is also supported with 7-year warranty.
First deliveries in the UK are expected by the end of the year.
