Raiti’s Rides

Joe Raiti from the YouTube channel Raiti’s Rides got to explore the Kia K4 at the car show and shared what he thought about it. He highlighted that this new version introduces new styling dimensions, form, and overall look.

“Even though this is a compact sedan, it is getting a little bit wider, a little bit longer, which is going to give you more interior space and also a better driving experience going down the road,” said Raiti. 

He notes that the updated LED headlights on the sedan have a design that looks quite similar to the latest K5 model. Raiti also got a chance to check out the sedan’s interior up close and liked its simple and clean layout.

“You’re going to have about 30 inches of screen, so you have your 12.3 for your infotainment system, and then the rest of the 30 inches is in the digital gauge cluster,” said Raiti.  

He mentioned that there was plenty of room above his head and around his shoulders in the front seat, and he also found the back seat to be quite roomy.

“Even though this is a compact sedan, you gotta throw out the compact whole word. There’s nothing compact back here,” said Raiti.

Redline Reviews

Sofyan Bey, who runs the Redline Reviews YouTube channel, also got a peek at the 2025 Kia K4 during the NY Auto Show. He was impressed by its stylish look, especially the LED headlights that look a lot like the ones on the EV9, and its unique amber lights for daytime and signaling.

“It has the latest interpretation of the Kia design language here with their tiger nose grille,” said Bey. “The front fascia just looks a lot more aggressive. I think that Kia has done a really good job.”

Bey discussed the different engine options available for the car, highlighting a choice between a two-liter four-cylinder engine or a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine. He compares these options to the engines found in the current Kia Forte sedan, but suggests that the new model will probably be more fuel-efficient and emit less pollution. Additionally, Bey compliments the interior design and quality of the car’s cabin.

“When you step inside the interior, this is where again Kia is really pulling out all the stops to really deliver an interior that feels a lot more upscale and premium than typical vehicles in the class,” said Bey. “This feels like a huge step above the Forte.”

He emphasizes the smooth and modern design of the dashboard, the ample space for passengers, and the cutting-edge tech features.

“If you guys are looking for something stylish, more premium with bigger backseat space and all the latest tech features, this model should be hitting your local Kia dealership sometime in the third quarter of 2024,” said Bey.  

The upcoming 2025 Kia K4 is set to arrive at Crain Kia in Fort Smith later this year. If you’re interested in pre-ordering one, feel free to contact our sales team or visit our dealership.
