Everything you need to know about the Kia K4

The Kia K4 has been created to turn heads, with a wide stance, confident front end and the latest interpretation of Kia’s Tiger Nose design. Slim LED daytime running lights, Star Map lighting and available LED cube projector headlights give it a modern, premium look by day and night.​

From the side, the low roofline, hidden rear door handles and distinctive C‑pillar design create a streamlined, almost coupé-like profile. At the rear, inverted L‑shaped LED tail-lights, a sculpted roof spoiler and diffuser-style bumper details underline the K4’s sporty character.​

Alloy wheel options in 16, 17 and 18 inches add the finishing touch, with bold designs that emphasise the car’s dynamic stance even when parked. For drivers who want something different from the usual family hatchback, the K4’s styling really stands out.​

Inside, the Kia K4 offers a calm, contemporary cabin with clean horizontal lines and a wide dashboard that makes the interior feel open and airy. A long 2.72m wheelbase helps create generous rear legroom, so adults can travel comfortably in the back, even on longer journeys.​

The K4’s boot offers up to 438 litres of luggage capacity, giving you plenty of space for shopping, school bags, weekend trips or family holidays. Smart storage solutions throughout the cabin help keep everyday essentials neatly organised and within easy reach.​

Optional features such as a wide sunroof, soft‑touch artificial leather seats and ambient lighting help create a premium atmosphere that feels a class above. Whether you’re in the front or second row, the K4 is designed to be comfortable, refined and relaxing.​

The Kia K4 focuses on everyday comfort with features designed for the UK’s changing weather. Depending on trim, you can enjoy heated front and rear seats, along with cooling ventilation for the front row, so you stay comfortable whether it’s frosty or blazing sunshine.​

A sport‑inspired three‑spoke steering wheel with paddle shifters (on selected models) and a newly designed gear selector give the driver’s area a dynamic feel. High‑quality materials and thoughtful touches around the cabin help the K4 feel more like a small premium car than a typical family hatchback.​

The centrepiece of the Kia K4 interior is the triple panoramic display, combining a 12.3" digital instrument cluster, 5.3" climate control screen and 12.3" infotainment and navigation touchscreen. This layout allows you to see key driving information, adjust the climate and control media or navigation with minimal distraction.​

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come as standard, so you can mirror your smartphone, access maps and stream music without plugging in a cable. Multiple USB‑C ports around the cabin keep everyone charged, making the K4 ideal for families and commuters alike.​

Over‑the‑Air (OTA) software updates help your K4 stay up to date with the latest system improvements and infotainment enhancements without visiting a dealership. Kia Digital Key 2.0 (available on selected trims) lets you use a compatible smartphone or smartwatch as your key and share access digitally via the Kia app.​

The Kia K4 is packed with advanced driver assistance systems to make every journey safer and more relaxing. Standard and available technologies include Forward Collision Avoidance Assist, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Follow Assist, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist and more.​

Blind‑Spot View Monitor (BVM) projects a live video feed of your blind spot into the instrument cluster when you indicate, giving extra confidence when changing lanes. Highway Drive Assist 2.0 can help keep you centred in your lane, maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead and even assist with lane changes when you signal.​

Additional features such as Surround View Monitor, Blind‑Spot Collision‑Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross‑Traffic safety systems and enhanced Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2.0 provide an extra layer of protection when parking, manoeuvring and driving in busy traffic. Together, these systems support rather than replace the driver, helping you feel more in control.​

In the UK, the Kia K4 launches with efficient petrol powertrains, including a 1.0‑litre 115hp mild‑hybrid and 1.6‑litre engines offering up to around 180hp, depending on trim. These engines are paired with manual or automatic transmissions to suit different driving preferences.​

On the road, the K4 focuses on comfort, stability and confidence rather than outright sportiness. Reviews highlight secure handling, precise steering and a composed ride, making it easy to drive smoothly in town and on the motorway. For most drivers, the blend of refinement, space and ease of use will be more important than chasing lap times.​

The Kia K4 range is expected to mirror the familiar Kia trim structure, with Pure, GT‑Line and GT‑Line S models offering increasing levels of equipment.​

• K4 Pure: Typically brings 16" alloy wheels, full LED lights, 12.3" driver display, 12.3" touchscreen with navigation, 5.3" climate screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rear parking sensors and a reversing camera, plus a full suite of core safety systems.​
• K4 GT‑Line: Adds sportier styling details, larger alloy wheels, extra technology and interior upgrades aimed at drivers who want a more dynamic look and feel.​
• K4 GT‑Line S: Sits at the top of the range, often including premium audio, advanced driver assistance features, Kia Digital Key, ambient lighting enhancements, panoramic sunroof and luxury comfort features.​
