Get ready to welcome the Kia K4 hatchback to the streets of America! That’s right, Kia is shaking things up by bringing back the hatchback body style for the U.S. market with the all-new K4 compact.
Remember the previous-gen Forte? It only came as a sedan in the U.S. But Kia heard you loud and clear. They’re spicing things up with the K4 hatchback, giving you more options and more style.
Just recently unveiled at the New York Auto Show, the K4 hatchback is turning heads with its sleek design. Check out that “floating roof” design and the cool chrome trim around the back. LED taillights? You bet, stretching almost the whole width of the car. And let’s not forget the added bonus of extra cargo space – perfect for all your gear and gadgets.
Under the hood, it’s packing some serious power too. You’ll have your pick between a 147-horsepower naturally aspirated 2.0-liter engine for the everyday ride or a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine pumping out 190 horsepower for those craving a bit more oomph.
Now, you might be wondering about the name. Kia’s calling it the “K4 5-door hatch,” but the official name is still under wraps.
As for when you can get your hands on one? Well, Kia’s keeping us on our toes. They’re saying the hatchback will hit the streets “at a later date.”
But hey, with the sedan version coming in the second half of this year, we’re expecting the hatchback won’t be far behind – maybe by the end of the year or early 2025.
