Compare 2025 Kia K4 vs 2025 Kia K5

Performance

The Kia K4 has the same powertrains that were offered with the outgoing Forte. These include a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder, 147-horsepower engine and a turbo 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine that generates 190 horsepower. The first powertrain pairs with a CVT, and the turbo engine features an eight-speed auto transmission. In comparison, the 2025 Kia K5 also has two engines available. The entry-level engine is a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine which gives you 191 horsepower and features front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The other powertrain has a turbo four-cylinder unit that puts out 290 horsepower.

Appearance

The 2025 Kia K4 is the smaller of these two models. It shows off a dramatically aerodynamic profile with a long, curved nose and envy-generating contours sweeping over the sides. The wheels show off a geometric, pinwheel design. At the front, the powerful lower fascia is integrated with angled air inlets. The small grille stretches outward to connect with the zagging, amber LED bar that highlights the headlights. The K5, on the other hand, is a larger model with stronger angles through its profile. The sides add a crisp, angled definition line and subtle molding over the back haunches. The lower fascia is smaller and separates the air inlets from aggressive bumper design. The grille is shorter than that of the K4, and it links to unique, amber light ribbons.

Features

Inside the 2025 K4, you will find, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 5-inch climate display screen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument screen, a 12.3-inch infotainment system screen, highway driving assistance, adaptive cruise control, speed limit assist and others.
