I like the look of both trim models except for the grill/headlights. My 2023 Forte looks a little more aggressive in the same area. Nice that the 2023 has the same hp/torque. The K4 is a little heavier as if carrying an additional 90 kg of cargo or a person. Not a fan of the dashboard. I will always prefer the analog speedometer/tachometer layout with digital display in the middle.
EX is the way to go if you can do it. You know the the Civic now starts at almost $30,000 .. like that is the starting point .. add tax to that spread and the lost potential to having that money in your pocket or not paying interest on it for years likely. Cars have gotten expensive but these offer just a wonderful value even before you look at the outstanding content and so on.
FR!! I was looking into buying the 2024 civic hatchback and oh my god they’re selling ad 27-29k like wth! Even the lowest trim start at 26k. I wanted a Honda for its fuel efficiency. But these new Kia’s look really nice. Come with a lot of features.
I seen a black K4 earlier today and… I need to see other colors. The vertical amber LED’s look awkward on the K4 and stretch too far towards the bumper. It works on the EV9, updated K8 (other markets outside the US), Sorento & Carnival. Not a fan of the tail light design but looks great illuminated. I have a 2019 Kia Optima and the K4 appears very comparable size wise, even though there’s about a six inch difference. The black cladding on the wheel arches gives the K4 a faux lifted sedan appearance, which isn’t bad, but a bit odd for a sedan. Curious to see what Kia does with the EV4 design when it arrives.
Greetings from oakville ladies my neighbor is about to take possession of the 2025 kia k4 EX+ in minty green color sorry I tried to convince her to go to you in brantford but it didn't happen but she received a good deal because she gave the dealership a certified cheque
Cross traffic - you know - I think my Elantra the brake shakes or something - but the new ones for sure have the tectonic (?) feedback where if the car is not happy with what you are doing it uses even shaking and vibrating to transparently tell you to pay attention to what you are doing.
Put this in a hatch or even a true wagon as a hybrid and keep the price under 30k and you'd probably sell them in the tens of thousands. Add in a PHEV for 34k that gets up to 10k in rebates across Canada and there would be waitlists years long just like the RAV4 Prime/Plugin.
no dual climate control? also the back seat doesnt have cup holders anywhere? i love my 2019 kia forte, thought about upgrading to one of these but these 2 are missing some key features i would like to have.
These are the 2 entry level trims! As we receive more, we'll be able to show more features :) we do have a trim break-down if you're curious about what comes in each trim. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/qSzQNzLCYa0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hJh97rCeudpYQyrt
The Ex trim with a 6 speed AT paired with hybrid system might give the Japanese competition some pause. I'm waiting on the GT-line video to drop to see if its worth the wait.
Hatchback GT Turbo Manual is what I need from KIA. Hopefully they surprise me with some news next year. Otherwise, I'll have to decide on some other car.
I bet you it will come out. Manufacturers sometimes just don't want to launch 3 powertrains for a new model because that creates more potential recalls all at once.
I like SUV better. I have a 2024 kia sportage x line. But the K4 looks very roomy for a compact sedan and im sure it is. My son has a 2023 Kia Rio hatchback and amazed at the room it has im 6ft 3in 350lbs and i fit comfortably in passanger seat. All that said just to say Kia does an incredible job providing room. Also love these videos 😊
its sad you don't get the manual versions we get here in Mexico. its the forte gt line story all over again, in mexico you could get it with full LED one or two trims lower than the gt in Canada/USA Like, why do you get wheel covers in the LX
Charlotte looking great for having a baby 🙏🏻🙏🏻Gabby is beautiful I traded my 2023 forte for the k4 lax love it love kIA I’m in Kentucky watch all your videos God bless
Don't forget the 100k + engine recalls for Toyota Tundras, and the 720K vehicle recall from Honda for fire risks. Oh, and the GM engine failures, sometimes with less than 10 thousand kilometers. And before I forget, Ford Bronco engine failures.
Just waiting for the GT-Line Turbo. Wish they had a better date than "Early 2025." I'd still love to see a full GT or hybrid though too.
I like that steering wheel - the logo is elegantly done.
If only the domestic manufacturers still cared about cars in this segment and price point.
LED lights, smart key and wireless CarPlay on a base model?! Kia with the power plays
Excellent overview of the base and top trims. I was wondering about the differences. Thanks for making this thorough video.
Hope you enjoy the Texas event and have a safe trip back!
P.S. Bloopers are the best! 😆
two hot ladies talking shop - love it! keep up the entertaining work!
I still like the outgoing Forte exterior way more than the K4
I love hubcap cars so when you scrape the hubcap you can just easily change it. Having a bigger side wall is always better for cracks in roads.

Will it come in a hybrid or plug-in hybrid? And when will it come to my country?

Do I see 2 heat settings on the steering wheel now ..
Have the Theta engine reliability issues been addressed? Don't want to keep bringing it in for repair, even under warranty.

Thanks for today's video charlotte & gabi and have a great wednesday....yeet!!!!
I'm really interested to see what the non-turbo GT-Line trim looks like
The Hatchback version of the k4 is going to be more desirable for young buyers if kia decides to import it in 2027 ❤❤❤
Waiting for the GT or GT-Line.

Lol love the bloopers at the end. I'm surprised there hasn't been a blooper compilation vid by now
EX, but why not a hybrid or PHEV for the K4?

K4 in 4K!
Do a forte vs k4

See the production value going up
This is unfortunate but there are dealer discounts and factory rebates to offset to rising price increases.
@@brokeboy87 He was speaking of the quality of the videos I believe 😜
Those are nice trims.. car is not bad too
its sad you don't get the manual versions we get here in Mexico. its the forte gt line story all over again, in mexico you could get it with full LED one or two trims lower than the gt in Canada/USA
Like, why do you get wheel covers in the LX
Having a spare tire is a safety features if you are in rear in collision.
Much better then sitting on a highway waiting for a tow truck and hoping you don’t get hit by a drunk.
Looking for car....thought of kia k4 but sad part it dont have a sunroof......so no
In Canada the sunroof starts on the EX+ model!
Present Miss Gaby and Miss Charlotte 🙋
I want one. When's the next lottery?
I heard 23 forte has more interior room 😊
Charlotte looking great for having a baby 🙏🏻🙏🏻Gabby is beautiful I traded my 2023 forte for the k4 lax love it love kIA I’m in Kentucky watch all your videos God bless
Im ok with hubcaps on my car, if you scrape a hubcap its cheaper to replace then a aluminum wheel.
GT Line Turbo when?
Lmk when you find out
You can’t see out the rear window AT ALL and lose the rear view peripheral view to due to the C-Pillar being the D-Pillar. We opted for the EV6.
are you going to review Electric car please
They did already... As recent as yesterday... th-cam.com/users/livexzLSB2WIYOk?si=nGAv_hvZJtT_ujPt
That’s mind blowing numbers 147 hp oh my goodness!😂
147 unbridled ponies
Gabi the Girlfriend (lol)! You know your Kias forwards and backwards as we know! Our friend Denise has owned two Kias herself!
nooo those heels will destroy your feet... wear the sneakers from the other video!
Wow a comment from Danny the Medic on this channel!
I love everything but the rear window design, it really ruins a otherwise great looking car.
when you see it in person youll realize how weird this car looks. The rear window is hideeeoouuusssss

Ugly cars that won't last.... engine and transmission issues ...recall up the wazooo
There has been next to no recalls so far. The K4 has a good reliability rating.
He's not wrong with them being ugly
Don't forget the 100k + engine recalls for Toyota Tundras, and the 720K vehicle recall from Honda for fire risks. Oh, and the GM engine failures, sometimes with less than 10 thousand kilometers. And before I forget, Ford Bronco engine failures.
Have a 14 rio and its been good to me i honestly am torn between the k4 and the corolla hybrid
@@danielhartin7680 Yes. Thank you. Kia is not the only brand that has recalls.
These two don’t even look worthy north of 20 grand maybe 13-16 MAX interior and exterior is so so not a value leader anymore
Great review, ladies. I’m waiting for the EX+ one which has sun roof 🫱🏻🫲🏾
