The 2025 Kia K4 is a new compact sedan that replaces the Kia Forte. The K4 offers two engine options and will go on sale in the second half of 2024.

Compared with the Forte the K4 is nearly three inches longer and two inches wider.

The 2025 Kia K4 will offer five trim levels, including LX, LXS, EX, GT-Line, and GT-Line Turbo.

The K4's base powertrain is a 147-hp 2.0-liter inline-four and a continuously variable automatic transmission.

The GT-Line Turbo comes with a 190-hp turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-four and an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The K4's interior reflects Kia's new design aesthetic, and there's a lower dash panel that incorporates HVAC vents.

The K4 GT-Line seen here has a two-tone steering wheel with squared edges along with a prominent dead pedal and physical shift lever.

The interior offers a combination of a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 12.3-inch central infotainment touchscreen.

Kia says the K4 has more rear legroom than the Forte, but the trunk is slightly smaller than before.

Kia says the K4 will go on sale in the U.S. in the second half of this year.

We expect the 2025 K4 to carry a slightly higher starting price than the Forte, which started at $21,145.

Analysis-China automakers pivot to hybrids for Europe to counter EV tariffs
Automakers in China are ramping up exports of hybrid vehicles to Europe and planning more models for the key market, exposing the limits of the European Union's electric vehicle tariff scheme. The bloc's latest EV tariffs to protect its auto industry from a flood of cheap Chinese imports do not apply to hybrid cars. Some manufacturers are also shifting production and assembly to Europe to lower the cost around tariffs.

Consumer Reports survey finds electric vehicle reliability improving but lagging gas models
The reliability of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids has dramatically improved, narrowing a wide gap with gas-powered automobiles, according to the latest survey by Consumer Reports. Consumer Reports subscribers, who filled out surveys during much of 2024, reported that electric vehicles had 42% more problems than gas autos on average. Plug-ins, which travel a short distance on battery power before a hybrid powertrain kicks in, had 70% more problems than gas vehicles, but that was less than half the difference found in last year's survey.
