- EX: This trim brings a more upscale feel and adds the features that move the K4 further into comfort-focused territory.
- GT-Line: This trim adds a sportier look and feel, plus the equipment that makes the cabin and driving experience feel more premium.

What Kia K4 do most buyers choose?
The Kia K4 years with the most listings are 2026 and 2025.
| Model Year | Total Listings | Good + Great Deals % |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2,978 | 34.2% |
| 2025 | 2,978 | 34.2% |

For the safest used buy, the 2025 model posts the highest confirmed score of 8/10.
Should I buy a used Kia K4 now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −4.45% versus a year ago.
- Deal availability: The 2025 model has 34.2% good and great deals.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $21,677. The Kia K4 offers a roomy cabin and a modern, upscale-feeling design that make it especially appealing as a daily driver.
Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: The standard 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine makes 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque, and the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder makes 190 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque.
- Tech: Wireless phone projection, a wireless charging pad, Kia’s navigation system with in-vehicle Google Points of Interest search, and the AI Assistant.
- Safety: Kia’s Technology Package adds Highway Drive Assist 2, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, surround-view monitor, and blind-spot view monitor.
- Starting price: The 2025 Kia K4’s starting price is $23,145.
If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.

Reviewed a 2025 Kia K4 on Mar 28, 2026
I think this cars value is good for the price. It has its cons but the pros outweigh the cons by a lot! The visibility is something you get used to. It is a compact sedan so I’m am driving a lot lower than I’m used too. The seats are manual meaning there’s levers you pull to adjust it not buttons. The trunk space is 10/10. Infotainment system 10/10 works very fast. Car feels great! It’s a nice ride! I’d recommended it as a first car! If you’re a student and it’ll only be you driving it. It isn’t a family car the back seats aren’t very spacious. If your going to and from work maybe doing a few road trips by yourself or with someone else I’d, you don’t care about speed or acceleration just leasure and getting from point A to point B I recommend it.

Kia K4 test drive
overall
With a new name and a new look, can the 2025 Kia K4 challenge the Honda Civic?
Kia’s new compact sedan replaces the oft-overlooked Kia Forte, an option that traded on value more than merit. Although the Forte provided practical packaging and decent performance (particularly in GT trim), shoppers driving home in a Forte were usually doing so because it was cheaper, rather than better, than the competition. With a revamped design and an impressive suite of standard tech, the new 2025 Kia K5 doubles down on the Forte’s fortes–particularly cargo space–while adding attractive features and retaining fuel efficiency and an affordable price tag.
Verdict: The 2025 Kia K4 is better than the outgoing Kia Forte. It offers more impressive tech, more standard safety features, more passenger space, and more cargo space. It’s still not quite as satisfying to drive as the segment leader, but with a starting price hovering around $22,000, it’s a far sight less expensive, too.
