What is the new 2025 Kia set to replace the Kia Forte?

2025 Kia K4 Exterior

Earlier this year, in March, Kia announced it was ready to move on from the Kia Forte model lineup, with 2024 being its last year with that namesake. Then, in the same month at the 2024 New York International Auto Show, Kia debuted the all-new 2025 Kia K4, the compact four-door sedan and five-door hatchback set to fill the void that the Kia Forte leaves behind.

What can you expect from the 2025 K4?

2025 Kia K4 Interior

The brand-new 2025 Kia K4 model lineup will include three trims: LX, LXS, and EX. These trims are available in Interstellar Gray, Snow White Pearl, Aurora Black Pearl, Currant Red, Deep Sea Blue, and Morning Haze.

The spacious interior seats up to five passengers, with heated, power-adjustable seats in the front. Interior lighting, powerpoints, and USB charging ports in the front and the back ensure that everyone stays connected and can charge devices while on the go.

The Bluetooth wireless technology makes connecting to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto easy. Plus, all three K4 trims come with SiriusXM satellite radio.

2025 K4 trims will also have USB charging, data ports, and a 12V power port in the front. Also in the front is the media and navigation center, a 12.3-inch touchscreen display. There is interior LED lighting and solar control glass, creating a more comfortable cabin beyond the seating material.

Under the hood of this magnificent new Kia is the turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine. The three drive modes, Normal, Sport, and My Drive help you adapt to different driving conditions from inside of your K4.

Will the 2025 Kia K4 be all-wheel drive (AWD)?

No, the 2025 Kia K4 will not be AWD. The K4 LX, LXS, and EX trims are front-wheel drive (FWD). This drivetrain is paired with the continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). This powertrain is a direct carry-over from the 2024 Forte.

How many miles per gallon does a 2025 Kia K4 get?

The 2025 K4 model trims have a 12.4-gallon tank. The estimated miles per gallon in the city from the K4 is 29-30 MPG, and the estimated miles per gallon on the highway is 39-40 MPG.

The new 2025 Kia K4 is Now Your Forte

Saying goodbye is bittersweet, and the sweet part is saying hello to the all-new 2025 Kia K4. You may miss what the Kia Forte added to your daily drive and road trips, but do not worry; the Kia K4 is here to save the day.
