Redline Reviews
Sofyan Bey of the Redline Reviews YouTube channel was one of the lucky folks who got an early peek at the 2025 Kia K4. He was impressed by its stylish design, especially the eye-catching LED headlights that look a lot like the ones on the EV9, and its distinctive amber lights for daytime and turn signal.
“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 discusses the available engine types for the car, highlighting the choice between a two-liter four-cylinder and a 1.6-liter turbo engine. He mentions that these options are quite similar to those offered in the current Kia Forte sedan. However, Bey thinks that this new model will probably be more fuel-efficient and emit less pollution. He also 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, ample space for passengers, and the high-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.

Raiti’s Rides
Joe Raiti from Raiti’s Rides on YouTube also got to see the Kia K4 at the auto show and shared his thoughts. He mentioned that this new version has updates in its dimensions, form, and design overall.
“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 sedan’s updated LED headlights bear a resemblance to the latest K5 model’s design. Additionally, Raiti got a chance to check out the sedan’s interior, where he enjoyed its clean and simple 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 noticed that the back seat was 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.
The 2025 Kia K4 is set to arrive at Crain Kia in Sherwood later this year! If you’re interested in pre-ordering, you can reach out to our sales team or visit our dealership.
