The K4 hatchback exudes dynamism with its sleek roofline, cleverly concealed rear door handles on the C-pillar, and an eye-catching Sparkling Yellow paint option.

The hatchback configuration offers an impressive 628 liters of cargo space, allowing passengers to experience the best-in-class legroom and headroom in the rear seats. This enhances the vehicle’s versatility for daily use and road trips alike.

Under the hood, the K4 hatchback boasts a potent 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, delivering up to 190 horsepower through an 8-speed automatic transmission. The GT-Line trim features a sport-tuned suspension for enhanced driving dynamics. Higher-end models come equipped with Kia’s latest driver assistance technologies, including Highway Driving Assist 2, an evasive steering assist, and a 360-degree surround-view monitor, further bolstering safety and convenience.

The K4 hatchback is planning to hit U.S. showrooms in the fourth quarter of 2025, offered in EX, GT-Line, and GT-Line Turbo trims. With this strategic launch, Kia aims to strengthen its position in the U.S. market and appeal to buyers seeking a blend of style, practicality, and advanced features.
