Forte Out, K4 In: 2025 Kia K4 Release Date, Specs, Dimensions

Filling the slot once occupied by the Sephia, Spectra, and Forte, the 2025 Kia K4 is a conventional four-door sedan with a highly unconventional design, inside and out. The eye-catching exterior design of the K4 can be married to up to 30 inches of digital screen space inside. 

The K4 will land in Canada in five different trim levels. The K4 LX, K4 EX, and K4 EX+ will run a 147-horsepower 2.0-liter engine. The Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo and K4 GT-Line Turbo Tech will be equipped with a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine cranking out 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque – the turbocharged powerplant swaps the intelligent variable transmission for an 8-speed automatic.

The turbo models also switch some underpinnings, too: there's a multi-link rear suspension for greater stiffness and compliance. Compared with the outgoing Forte, the 2025 Kia K4 is about 7 centimetres longer and 5 centimetres wider while offering an extra 6 centimetres of rear legroom. 

Kia Canada expects to begin delivering the K4 to dealers in the second-half of 2024; likely in the fall.
