The 2025 Kia K4 will come out soon. It might be called the “Forte” in North America. Rumor has it the new design is sportier. It’s bigger too. Expected in late 2024 or early 2025. The engine details aren’t confirmed yet. Yet, there might be a 2.0-liter inline-four. And a turbocharged 1.6-liter for sportier versions. Maybe even a hybrid. Prices could start at $22,000 for the base LX and go up to $28,000 for the top-tier GT, like the current Forte.
On the inside, the K4 is expected to improve the Forte’s current features. These include driver-assistance tech. They offer modern infotainment, smartphone connectivity, and a sleek interior. The 2025 Kia K4 seems like a great choice. It’s in the compact sedan market. It blends style, practicality, and good value.

6. Is the 2025 Kia K4 a good choice for me?
As the car is not yet released and detailed information is limited, it’s difficult to say definitively. A comfortable interior, and a range of features at a competitive price, the 2025 Kia K4 could be a good option. It’s always best to wait for full details and test drive the car to see if it meets your needs and preferences
