I’ve had my K4 EX in Morning Haze for 2 weeks now and absolutely love it. The car drives nice and is peppy, the tech is great and the styling turns heads.
There is something about these two ladies, they are awesome presenters, very good presence... I watch them even though I hate KIA's, I'm too big to fit in them...
10:55 "... we certainly had a ton of time filming it, and spent a lot of time doing so." I love how you both choose to leave the mistakes in; you both come across and very genuine. A true credit to both Kia and your dealership.
The K4 has standard smart cruise control which allows you to set the following distance & the vehicle will stop & resume based off traffic, this function paired with the lane follow assist (also standard) gives the driver a pretty solid assistance - keep in mind the driver will still have to pay attention and have their hands on the wheel
First, thanks for the review. It is really good review for the car. There are a couple things done great first clothes seat second 10 color ceiling not matching with seat color and no sunroof.
Right! Screens look so outdated after a few years! + I find it very annoying to have to resort to screen menus to do things like turn on heated seats. More and more im appreciating cabins that have a simple - yet modern layout. I think Kia has been knocking out of the park with their latest models, great blend of physical controls & screens that have a timeless layout. - Gabi
While it was a fantastic vehicle, it wasn’t exactly a top seller. It did however change a lot of peoples perspectives of the Kia brand & helped pave the way for our current advanced lineup :) - gabi
I don't understand the controversy about the square steering wheel ! Peugeot have kinda made it their thing now. And the off centre logo was fairly common on European cars 40 years ago... Citroen for one would have off centre logo on the Steering wheel & the hood/bonnet too at one time.
No mention of it on any of our internal documents, turbo models have not yet arrived to dealerships, I’ll report back once I get my hands on one - gabi
Why is it that some KIA models have such a small back up light? I noticed this on the K4 when it was backing up, and I notice it on my 2024 Sportage. Usually the backup lights are incorporated in the taillights. What's with these small lights??
I have been stuck and been debating if I should get the k4 2025 or the Honda civic 😢 civic is more expensive and out of my budget at the moment. Resale value for Honda is much higher than the Kia. What makes me nervous is how this car will work after 3-4 years. I also don’t know if it’s as fuel efficient and it doesn’t have Econ mode which kinda makes me wonder if Honda will be a better choice? I do like the 2025 k4 m. Just wish they had auto seat adjustments. Idk I’m burning myself out with all these information.
@balajirreddy4989 and Honda has been caught rigging the safety results of their cars (huge scandal) from the previous years, millions of recalls from 2022 models to present ... hmmmmm yeah Whereas the Hyundai/Kia group has been improving their brand in the last years.... well yeah, worship your Honda all year round.
I drive 2020 Kia Rio and after 4 and half years of ownership and 94000 km on the clock not a single issue! I drive this car every day 75 km always. And besides regular maintenance hadn't have a single issue so far :))
Exterior design is always gonna be subjective, I do think because it’s so different than what we used to with Forte a lot of people have strong opinions on the styling.
@@BrantfordKia Our first experience with Kia was a 2006 1/2 Optima EX ... great car... father-in-laws purchase .. it was a bit to small for me. Our first Kia was and still is a 2018 Sorento AWD FE. V-6 ..great all-round vehicle....just turned 32,000 trouble free miles. I recently retired....I can only fit in a few of your vehicles.. If the Telluride came out a year earlier..that night have been our first purchase..My sister just turned 76,000 on her 2014 Optima .. she still love it....
@@BrantfordKia You have done this video and have demonstrated the K4 as it's supposed to be driven. Very professional. Ignore the trolls, Gabi. You girls do a great job. But I hope that America gets the new Kia Tasman by next year. Because that's what I'll buy(not lease).
Love u ladies but Canada no way to cold high prices no guns no Charles just saying in my third Kia k4 deep sea blue now cause your bodies was a Ford guy

Awesome to hear! I hope you continue to love it :))
All three of them are beautiful.
Its great to see you out on the road 💯
Hopefully more test drives to come!
Have a 2020 Kia Forte.....this looks like a vast improvement. nice review and beautiful twins sitting in the front seats
There is something about these two ladies, they are awesome presenters, very good presence... I watch them even though I hate KIA's, I'm too big to fit in them...
i've really liked Kia's design changes in recent years. this car looks suuuuuper sleek.
Right! It’s a sweet ride
I really liked the city you traveled through. You are very beautiful! This car is very pretty and comfortable⛽🚦
Thank you so much 🤗
Impressed with the new K4. The ladies do a great job covering all the features of all their products PLUS they're unbelievably gorgeous. 👀
Thanks for watching!
Canadian girls survived Texas drivers/traffic/heat. Nice vid yall
Thank ya thank ya
Hi Gabi and Charlotte thanks for the drive video of the kia k4 good job you girl are the best ❤❤
thank you so much for watching
10:55 "... we certainly had a ton of time filming it, and spent a lot of time doing so." I love how you both choose to leave the mistakes in; you both come across and very genuine. A true credit to both Kia and your dealership.
I just caught that now LOL
Hi Charlotte &Gabi Welcome to America 🇺🇸🙂
hey! Thank you :)
Do you know if/when the hatchback version will arrive in Canada? Great POV drive, thanks.
Im hoping next year 🤞
Nothing offical from Kia Canada yet though
I LOVE THE LIGHT GREEN COLOR OF ONE I SAW ON ANOTHER VIDEO.
Glad you like it!
Awesome video! Does the EX+ have that feature where the car will drive itself in stop and start driving during rush hour? Not sure what that's called.
The K4 has standard smart cruise control which allows you to set the following distance & the vehicle will stop & resume based off traffic, this function paired with the lane follow assist (also standard) gives the driver a pretty solid assistance - keep in mind the driver will still have to pay attention and have their hands on the wheel
You guys should've done this video in Charlotte, NC. 😊
The Kia K4 sedans are awesome. They look upscale for sure. But I love hatchbacks. Any updates on when they will be available?
First, thanks for the review. It is really good review for the car. There are a couple things done great first clothes seat second 10 color ceiling not matching with seat color and no sunroof.
Present Miss Charlotte and Miss Gaby 🙋
Helloooo good morning!
Looks great.
I like how they kept the buttons.
Can’t stand just a touch screen, so annoying.
Right! Screens look so outdated after a few years! + I find it very annoying to have to resort to screen menus to do things like turn on heated seats. More and more im appreciating cabins that have a simple - yet modern layout.

Driver test cars are good, first chance I see you doing it.
More to come!
Hi Gabi !
Also why did Kia stop the stinger 😢
While it was a fantastic vehicle, it wasn’t exactly a top seller. It did however change a lot of peoples perspectives of the Kia brand & helped pave the way for our current advanced lineup :) - gabi
Hello ladies! Welcome to my hometown!. Wish I was there too!
You’ve gotta great hometown, we really enjoyed our time there
I guess we no longer get auto climate in the mid-trim level. That feature worked so well in other Kia's I've been in.
We get them in our market on the EX trim. Canadian market gets heated seats and steering wheel, and rear vents. It's just different packaging.
I see a lot of reflection in the instrument cluster, Does that make it difficult to see when sun light hits it ?
Definitely more so a filming angle issue, it was very sunny and bright while driving & I did not have difficulties viewing the display.
I don't understand the controversy about the square steering wheel ! Peugeot have kinda made it their thing now. And the off centre logo was fairly common on European cars 40 years ago... Citroen for one would have off centre logo on the Steering wheel & the hood/bonnet too at one time.
Same, I don’t get it! I found it very easy to drive with
How come you 2 don't do more test drives? I kinda like your style of doing these videos.
We’re planning to do some more!
How does it compare to the forte gt line interms of throttle and picking up speed? And does it handle as well?
All this tech is nice when it works. What's a digital dash or LED headlight gonna cost out of warranty? Vehicles are getting too big
I think I need this car!
i think so too, the tech and efficiency is way better than a g87😘
Does the new K4 equipped with the sound generator in the Forte, assuming that that may only be in the Turbo trim. Appreciate your feedback.
No mention of it on any of our internal documents, turbo models have not yet arrived to dealerships, I’ll report back once I get my hands on one - gabi
@@BrantfordKia Thank you!
I ordered 😊
woohoo!
In Austin, driving a Canadian spec car!
The math ain’t mathing
Why is it that some KIA models have such a small back up light? I noticed this on the K4 when it was backing up, and I notice it on my 2024 Sportage. Usually the backup lights are incorporated in the taillights. What's with these small lights??
Welcome to our lovely city. How’s our traffic compared to Canada traffic? 😊
Way better then the traffic I’m used tp
The K4 looks so modern compared to the old Forte that replaces. So, why Texas?
Vibrant car, vibrant city 🤠
Welcome to Austin! My city
we love Austin !
is the k4 a replacement for the spectra?
The forte replaced the spectra and K4 will replace the Forte
Now this is the video I've been waiting for ladies. Thank you for making my day!
thank you for watching! We did not drive all the way to Texas however, that would’ve been a great road trip!
Yeah cloth seats! That's always my way to go. I guess this K4 will be my next purchase when I pay off my new Sportage (with cloth seats!! 😆)
Btw love the video, girls! You both do an amazing job that helped me on my last purchase. Thanks!
I HAD CLOTH SEATS IN MY 92 SABLE, SOOOO COMFORTABLE!
Gabi a professional race car driver 👌 👏..(that's awesome) great video and spectacular job charlotte & gabi (yeet!!!!)
Semi professional haha

So Gabi when you trading in your Forte for the K4?
Hmmmm
@@BrantfordKia if it isn't in the process already 🤔
Fantastic ! 👍
Thank you! :)
I Don't understand why you not driving a American Spec K 4??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔I would think did they fly you two down ???? Great Test Drive 👍🙂
this was an event with Kia Canada, would’ve been cool to compare the US model to Canadian though
Hi Ladies! So close to New Mexico! Parallel parkded
I need to trademark that
Come to Houston !
were not in Texas anymore unfortunately
How fuel-efficient is this car compared to a Honda? How much gas did you use for the miles driven?
Great. VID.
Thank you!
K4 한국에서도 보고 싶어요.
미국과 캐나다만 출시 하네요.
멋진 차!! 정말 잘 보았습니다.
You should have listened to some ZZ Top while cruising. "Gimme all your loving, all your hugs and kisses too." Your in Texas.
Im more of a sharp dressed man kinda girl - gabi
My birthname in Texas is blazed in History at the Alamo and only one family had the name in the old country. Merica !
Yippee Kiyay MFer! Lol😂
@@chiggyvon That would be Die Hard Cuz, couple hundred years off.
When are you guys going to do a test drive of the GT version of this ? Well will it be in the showroom for me to come look at ?
We're hoping to do a test drive on a pre-production GT in November. But we're expecting them to arrive to dealers in January
@@BrantfordKia Ah ok good to know I'll wait for then and keep up with the good work!
Nice video,for us.❤❤
Thank you :)
A great car! The best Kia car ever!!!
What u all doing in Texas ?
Driving the k4!
Charlotte!!!!!!!!!!!
My K4 EX does not have a heated steering wheel. Is this the GT-line?
It will depend on where you're from. We filmed the Canadian model - and the specs will vary by country.
I like it😊
I love it
Excuse Me Kia K8 available???
I wish, No k8 here in Canada - Gabi
K3 will be the smallest in a while!!
175 long
I miss the K5, but the K4 is cool too. Can't wait to see some higher trims be reviewed!
Cool boots
Yeehaw
Good looking car!
Right!?
That purple bmw 230i though.
I used to want one....i have moved on.
Haha the unedited clip has me pointing it out
Hi gabby can you please try a 0-60
Maybe in the future, were no longer in Texas with this vehicle
@ thanks how do you show cars to disabled people
I have been stuck and been debating if I should get the k4 2025 or the Honda civic 😢 civic is more expensive and out of my budget at the moment. Resale value for Honda is much higher than the Kia. What makes me nervous is how this car will work after 3-4 years. I also don’t know if it’s as fuel efficient and it doesn’t have Econ mode which kinda makes me wonder if Honda will be a better choice? I do like the 2025 k4 m. Just wish they had auto seat adjustments. Idk I’m burning myself out with all these information.
Honda civic is much better than Kia and Hyundai anytime
@balajirreddy4989 that's obviously a biased opinion. You didn't even provide any information. Lame
@porfiriato84 in general honda has a refined engine, so I like honda, be it my opinion, whats your problem you lame loser @porfiriato84
@balajirreddy4989 and Honda has been caught rigging the safety results of their cars (huge scandal) from the previous years, millions of recalls from 2022 models to present ... hmmmmm yeah
Whereas the Hyundai/Kia group has been improving their brand in the last years.... well yeah, worship your Honda all year round.

How did you like Texas?
Loved it!!
Let’s drive ! I don’t get the big problem over the steering wheel……….now the Tesla yoke is another story 🥴🙃
I was questioning at first but 5 mins into driving , it’s not a problem
A better looking Elantra.
wireless CarPlay, bout time
for real tho
I just thought of a funny idea Gabi & Charlotte if thats ok with you 2 and you're interested hopefully you guys reply back
Hey, What’s your idea
@@edgarrivera4179weird simp thing🤔
Ladies do multiple type of brand cars trucks etc. but Hyundai got bus deal I guess 😅 ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉#956 Texas boy 😅
This looks like yall were in Austin, TX !
Yep we were!
@@BrantfordKiaI just realized yall put that at the beginning of the video 😅 lol
I recognized it because I saw yall drive by the capital!
The tech looks good and I like the extra space. But damn they made it look ugly. I hope the GT looks better.
Exterior design is always gonna be subjective, I do think because it’s so different than what we used to with Forte a lot of people have strong opinions on the styling.
Hatchback GT limited please. More power!
😍😍
GREAT SUCCESS. MY NAME BORAT.
very nice i like
K4-te
car math
It’s the only kind of math I understand
Kia Corolla killer
Tech improvement ? Is it self driving yet ?
Not self driving, but great drivers assistance systems (even in entry trim) - smart cruise, lane following assist & more
@ That was available 10 years ago.
Not in cars in this price range & certainly not as advanced as how it is now. I’d recommend driving one and seeing for yourself.
I hate the plastic fender trims
They certainly aren’t the most stylish choice, however as someone who drives a lot and goes through Canadian winters, I appreciate them.
I'm glad to see you all were ok driving here in Texas. We're #1 in the country for worst drivers 😂.
Are you guys really worse than Arizona? This place has tons of accidents every week
I’m used to dealing with pretty bad driving, the city I live in has crazy drivers. I didn’t find Austin bad at all!
@porfiriato84 Yeah, Texas is worse. People drive like once they start their car, they shut their brains off, lol.
If you compare Texas to Ontario, Texas drivers are much better 🤣
@lawrence5021 Ontario is worse than Texas? Well I'm definitely not going there, lol.
U ladies can pass for sisters
It's the brown hair
that fake smile at 03:58 though
no fake smiles

Hi girls how do you deliver cars to people with disabilities
One tire at a time.
I wish manufactures stop renaming cars with just numbers or a few letters...... it just sounds belittling... ..so a generic.....
