Introduction
Say farewell to the models once known as the Kia Forte because, in 2025, this four-door sedan and five-door hatchback is launching with a new nameplate, introducing the all-new 2025 Kia K4, your next favorite affordable and fuel-efficient vehicle.
The 2025 Kia K4 is set to be ready later in 2024, but we at Alan Jay Kia have an insider’s look at what you can expect from this new four-cylinder crown jewel. Read on for a closer look at your next new Kia.

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