Kia K4: A $2,000 Leap from the Forte Sedan

Kia K4 Unveiled: A $2000 Price Hike from Forte Sedan

The 2025 Kia K4 has made its debut, replacing the outgoing Forte sedan. While the K4 offers a refreshed design and enhanced features, it comes with a price increase of $2000, starting at $23,145.

The K4 boasts a sleek exterior with a wider grille, sharper headlights, and a more aerodynamic profile. Inside, it features a spacious cabin with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a suite of advanced safety technologies.

Under the hood, the K4 offers a choice of two engines: a 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing 150 horsepower and a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder delivering 195 horsepower. Both engines are paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Despite the price increase, the 2025 Kia K4 offers a compelling package of style, technology, and performance. It is expected to arrive in dealerships later this year.
