The Kia K4 Near West Palm Beach

The Kia K4 is the latest compact sedan with a look that pushes past the more conservative members of the segment. It's an entirely new look and a special one at that, because it replaces the longtime favorite Kia Forte.

Looking very coupe-like for a four-door sedan, the new K4 paves a stylistically new path. This is a look that Kia has never had before, until now. This new look pushes many envelopes, namely in the field of technology, safety and of course, style. It is created using Kia's "Opposites United" design philosophy.

Let's talk style for a moment. The new K4 can be several things to many people. It is a dynamic look, that to some, may appear like a hatchback, a coupe, or a sedan. Daring use of this design results in hidden rear door handles, while vertical LED lights front and rear offer a sense of illumination. It's pleasing to look at from any angle and is the most spacious vehicle in its class 185.4 length, 72.8 inches in width.

Kia K4 Hatchback

There is a lot of buzz surrounding the Kia K4 hatchback. Some have said that the standard 4-door K4 sedan looks like it's a hatchback, however, this is not the case. But for those in search of a hatchback, don't worry, Kia has confirmed that the 5-door hatchback version of the K4 will be available in the US (pictured above). As you can tell from the images above, the K4 hatchback looks similar, yet different than the K4 sedan. The hatchback version of the K4 incorporates a "floating roof" design which you may find to resemble the Kia EV6 a bit. The hatchback shape gives the K4 an even more sporty look and it will likely provide additional cargo space due to the "5th door" trunk and overall shape.

The Kia K4 hatchback is expected to share its powertrains with the sedan, meaning it will offer the same 147-hp 2.0-liter inline-four engine as well as the 190-hp turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-four engine in the hatchback GT-Line Turbo model.
