2025 Kia K4

from Talking Cars (Video)

We purchased a 2025 Kia K4 LXS for CR's test program. At $24,320, the K4 is priced surprisingly low for a new car. Does it deliver value for money? We break down the Kia K4's features, tech, and performance, and compare it to compact rivals like the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Elantra, and the outgoing Kia Forte. What safety and convenience features are included—or left out? We also answer a question about EVs and cargo capacity and help a viewer choose a reliable, fuel-efficient new car, with a hitch for a bike rack, for under $28,000.
