Explore New Kia K4 Compact Sedans in Seattle, WA
If you want a compact sedan that stands out from the crowd, look no further than the new Kia K4. The Kia K4's low roofline, vertical rear lighting, and fastback-style profile make it look like it should cost far more than it does. The Kia K4 presents itself as a thoroughly contemporary alternative to small crossovers. Compact sedans can be pretty anonymous, but the Kia K4 attracts attention in a way that very few vehicles in its class can compete with. Kia has clearly prioritized the Kia K4's exterior and interior styling as a major part of the package's appeal.
The interior is as appealing as the exterior. A wide digital display spans the dashboard, promoting the contemporary aesthetic shoppers expect. The rear seats also provide far more legroom than the sloping roofline may suggest. The designers have managed to combine striking styling with practicality in a genuinely appealing way. All trim levels have a premium feel and come generously equipped with standard features.
Popular Kia K4 Trim Levels
The Kia K4 has an impressive trim level lineup for shoppers to choose from. And these are only the sedan trim levels, as the Kia K4 is now also available as a hatchback. The lineup starts with the impressively equipped but very affordable LX. From there, the lineup goes to the LXS, EX, GT-Line, and tops out with the GT-Line Turbo. As the names suggest, you get more than cosmetic styling and technology upgrades as you progress through the range.
- LXS: The LXS is a step up from the entry-level LX, adding more features that today's shoppers may consider essential. These include larger alloy wheels, higher-quality materials, extra USB ports, and more driver-assist technology. The good news is that this more substantial equipment list doesn't grossly inflate the price.
- EX: The EX moves the Kia K4 slightly upmarket. It adds larger digital displays, wireless charging, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and upgraded cabin materials. The EX also offers Kia's connected vehicle technology and additional comfort features.
- GT-Line Turbo: The GT-Line Turbo is where things get really interesting. This is the level where you get a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Additional upgrades include sport-oriented suspension tuning, larger wheels, paddle shifters, upgraded brakes, and substantially quicker acceleration than the naturally aspirated trims.
- Other Trim Levels: The Kia K4 lineup also includes the LX and GT-Line trims. LX models still include a large touchscreen display and advanced safety systems, despite the sensationally attractive price. GT-Line models add more aggressive styling details and upgraded interior trim while retaining the naturally aspirated engine.
Kia K4 Key Features
The Kia K4 isn't a luxury model from a premium brand, but that shouldn't lower buyer expectations. The standard and available features would be impressive in any compact car class. And don't then assume that the fit and finish is where the difference between the Kia and prestige models becomes obvious. The build quality and the materials used are way beyond what could have been hoped for in a mainstream car only a few years ago.
- Engines and Fuel Economy: Most Kia K4 models feature a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 147 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft. of torque. That goes to the front wheels through an Intelligent Variable Transmission. GT-Line Turbo models use a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine producing 190 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy reaches up to 30 mpg city, 40 mpg highway, and 34 mpg combined.
- Seating and Cargo Capacity: The Kia K4 seats up to five people. Front seats offer 42.3 inches of legroom, while rear seats offer 38.0 inches. Rear passenger space feels unusually generous for a compact sedan. Trunk capacity is 14.6 cubic feet.
- Technology and Connectivity: A 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system is standard throughout the lineup. Higher trims double up with a matching 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 5-inch climate-control display integrated into the dashboard layout. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard. Available features include Harman Kardon premium audio, wireless charging, digital key capability, and over-the-air software updates.
- Safety and Driver-Assist: Forward collision-avoidance assist, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot collision warning, and rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist are all available across the lineup. Higher trims add Highway Driving Assist, surround-view monitoring, and additional parking assistance technology. Adaptive cruise control and multiple camera views also help reduce stress during commuting and highway driving.
