This thing is going to sell like crazy. The design inside and out is outstanding for any class of vehicle.
For the poor who don’t know about cars sure lol
@@cormaro13 Depends on priorities and what reputations you choose to believe in. Toyota and Honda are not what they used to be.
@@Ricky-mo6mv my new Toyota crown limited saids otherwise already 15k mileage in 6 months and no problems , more mileage to come
And don’t worry the Kia will show it colors one way or another 😆
@@cormaro13 Time will tell. These days Toyota is arguably no better or worse than Hyundai/KIA. I like the look of the Crown though, you must love it!
@@Ricky-mo6mv I do so far , I hope for good results too , I’m just in the middle on taking a chance with those
I’m average 38mpg and get about 520 on the tank , lot better than the cx30 I had doing only 300 miles lol
Been loving Kia and Hyundai's daring innovative experiments with design and technology.
Kia has been stepping up their game. It’s impressive how they’re using only premium materials. One of the reasons is that Kia has car designers from Germany.
I keep hearing comments on the offset logo on the steering wheel. It’s a total 80s throwback look!
It looks good in black. Hype to see the gt line turbo. Hope mpg isnt too far off from this.
For 25k this is an absolute bargain and has way more features than the competition way better then like the Sentra or Elantra
Sentra is trash , anyone with a brain knows that 😂 and this Korean piece of junk is going to need a new engine this year how much u wanna bet
Insane K4 Ben !! 🖤🖤
For 25k this makes the civic and corolla look disgusting. They're boring and charge way too much for features and have outdated infoltainment
Exactly but some toyota and honda fan boys won't understand they will keep yapping about reliability. Those don't even have few features or are not standard features
Like the civic sport which is the base model essentially for 27800 has no heated seats..
If you get one of the upper trims it's also going to have rear AC vents.
In a subcompact! Finally!
Maybe but reliability is the number 1 reason people buy a entry level car.
I totally agree! This car shares the same engine as the Elantra. I just myself a 2024 Elantra Limited for 27k and I can say the amount of features it offers for that price is insane.
It is not a fake door handle???
That is how you open the back doors, it makes the car look like a sporty coupe
I got rid of my ‘23 Honda and got the K4. I love how Kia makes their cars stylish and with premium materials. Most automakers have such a bland, cheap design.
Picked up my ex on Thursday love it no complaints yet
Better get those oil changes at the dealership done cause you’re going to need a new engine at the end of the year 😂
@@Calebflying2025 it’s a Kia , they all have issues , good joke though 😆
I love the 2025 Kia K4 EX. It’s such a good small car 😊
And it's not really "small". That's a great thing about it.
@@jraheemjefcoat429 I agree 😊
@@miguelkennedy9520 This will be my next car. I'm waiting for the GT-LINE model to hit dealership lots.
@@jraheemjefcoat429 great thing? small cars are easier to drive and park
@@johnkonde1975 You're like a cancer that can't go away! At this point, you're stalking me.
Hyundai/Kia are definitely knocking it out of the park with looks, but the overall reliability of their vehicles have left a sour taste in my mouth. I was skeptical due to all the horror stories I heard about reliability and issues people had with them regularly. I was always a Honda and Toyota person, as I’ve never had problems out of them. Well, I ended up going for a 2022 K5 GT brand new with 20 miles on it after seeing and test driving one. I take great care of my cars, and was strict about staying on top of the scheduled maintenance. The transmission failed just 2 years later at about 26,000 miles. While it was covered under warranty, the inconvenience alone was enough to turn me completely off to them going forward.
I think this can compete with accord, camry or sonata when it comes to styling😮
I'm super excited about the new GT-LINE model. It's got everything I want and it's under $30k. I love the fastback coupe design. It looks so sleek and expensive. The Corolla I rented was so boring. I returned it the next day and got a Nissan Rogue instead.
You really couldn’t say this yourself you had to get chat GPT to write it for you?
@@pappiti123that’s what I was thinking. Nobody talks like that
@pappiti123 foreal. Im excited for the car too, but.... really? Lol
enjoy high insurance costs and the kia boyz stealing it in the first month lol!
@@johnkonde1975 First of all, no one can't steal this new KIA. And Secondly, yo momma is paying for my insurance. ☺️
looking forward to the hatchback version
So do I! ♐
I think that one is supposed to be about the end of 2025.
I like it! It's beefy and feels like something from the HALO video game 😁
Kia built a insane car
We’ll never know who the was the lucky buyer of the last ever Forte (unless the last ever Forte is still in wherever dealership it’s in).
Dealership 15 min from my house still has like 30 brand new Fortes on the lot so it’s gonna be a while
The big three need to follow what these Korean and Japanese manufacturers are doing with affordable small cars. Next to the discontinued Malibu they offer nothing in this class, the cheapest thing at a Ford dealership is close to 40K, people want good affordable transportation in this day and age.
That Malibu is trash too so better stick with Japan
Hope it doesn't have expanding gas tank issues like the K5 does. If i was in the market for a subcompact i would definitely put this (but the GT turbo trim) on the list.
Just not too long ago, I remember you can get Compact SUVs for the same price 😭 How times have changed drastically.
The styling looks upmarket, but it's also very polarizing. I don't know if I like it or not. I need to see one in person. What I definitely don't like is the dark monochromatic interior. I prefer a lighter color two-tone interior. It would look classier and less drab.
What's up with all these new cars that have no rear AC vents? Should be standard on every vehicle manufactured.
One month ago, the video shows that the car have rear ac: th-cam.com/video/oIHwEBNscXs/w-d-xo.html, but don't know why it canceled.
@@linxhu2382 Only in in the upper trim does it
Just got mines All blue
Saving up for a new car next year, likely was going to go with a Civic or Corolla - but leaning more towards the Corolla since Honda dealerships charge like $2-3k above MSRP where I live, but now I'm fully settled on likely getting a K4, that being said- this is like 6 months from now, so hopefully that gives enough time for more thorough long-term reviews to start coming in.
Went from reliable to needing a new engine and you haven’t even bought the car 😂 just stick with honda or Toyota and learn how to negotiate
@@cormaro13 The K4 has the smartstream engine, this is not the engine prone to issues like in other Kias/Hyundais.
"Learn to negotiate" lol even with negotiation i'm not going to get it to be within $3k of what I could get from the K4
I'm thinking about it, waiting for more owners reviews. The Corolla is fine, but the civic lacks a ton of features despite being a car with a $25k+ MSRP.
@@WybornD40 so my Toyota crown limited was 53k msrp and I got it for 44k in February cause it’s just sitting on lots lol , helped a friend go for honda accord hybrid got 3k with no add on and special finances
They want to deal you just have to finesse it lol
But let’s hope these k4 last unlike the other ones lol
@@cormaro13 yeah i mean ideally that's what im hoping for, again im not really 100% on this until i hear more owner reports.
second option for around the same price is a Sentra SV/SR - which I still trust more than Kia if i'm being honest.
Corolla isn't off the table- when i'm ready to buy i'll see what I can get by negotiating.
In the market for a new ride. I'll be patiently waiting for the hatchback though!
The styling is decent. Hate the CVT, need a manual. Needs more power.
Exactly
how do you think Kia will age with time. I have been thinking about a cheap car to lease or buy, Kia vs Honda vs Toyota is a constant thought in my head. Not really able to decide
I bought a k4 lxs traded my 2023 forte k4 better suspension more room forte good car k4 no complaints but wish had 360 camera only wish k4 lxs rims not a like but all good would recommend k4 best car for 25000 I don’t lie or steal get right with Lord thanks
Ill wait for the 1.6 litre turbo
Won't buy a KIA but I guess someone has to make up teh slake for the lack of Sedans from GM, Ford, and Dodge.
You got the Corolla, Civic, Mazda 3, Subaru Impreza, VW Jetta
ill get it in 1 month , black EX
When you review the engine you should include:
1) 0-60
2) mpg
Bro it’s Kia , if you wanna know that slow information google it lol
How do you get to test drive cars so easy w/o the sales shpeel.. taking your license..asking you tons of questions. As a reviewer ..do you get special treatment?
Bro he works for the dealership 😂
I have to say it. Manual transmission please!
I would love one.But carjackers love em too.
I wish they had hybrod ver of this. Yhen ill buy it
A good time to get a ride…. Thank you Lord !!
A compact sedan with good space.. rear a/c … 190hp and 195 ib/torque … sleek design and tech… great fuel economy…. Sheeshh!!
And I don’t wanna hear any disgusting talk about “it’s a kia” or reliability nonsense… cuz the turbo engine is far from it !
Both engines of the K4 are borrowed from the Hyundai Kona.
Utah or Colorado?
2025 Kia K4 EX 2.0L 4-Cylinder CVT Continuously Variable Transmission Sedan!
Sometimes it looks good sometimes ugly. I don’t think I don’t know what it looks like yet. I’m still debating myself that may take a while…lol😂
They need to ditch the CVT
Go to the GT-Line Turbo and you get an automatic transmission.
hi maybe do bmw 4 series coupe 2 door next
Making your customers wait for the top trim🤦🏿♂️
and it breaks before you pay it off lol
The Kia boyz
O novo Kia k4 sedan🫶
Buy made in Korea only
What about Mexican manufactured Kia’s?
saludos! bonito video y guapo coche:! saludos!
muchísimas! gracias! 🆗👍 saludos!
Ugly design language especially in the C-pillar and trunk area. Interior is rental car penalty box poor. Engine and transmission are underwhelming. I get they are selling to a price point, but it looks cheap. The design language will not age well. The depreciation will be horrific on this. Corolla is a much better buy.
Larson Point
Go drive this and then a honda. If you think this is better I recommend you go see a dr for your brain injury
Il get Volkswagen over this gli jetta
POs 😂
the the kia boyz gone yet?
If kids wanna do it, they still they can on the older KIA's.
Engines are still shit
No.1
The corolla isn't worried at all
It should be because this is way better just upgrade after 5 yrs has more features and better interior better exterior bigger screen.
Just admit you are jealous. Corolla doesn't even have heated seats standard which is mandatory in places where it snows atleast this has it
@@AlexAlex-gs1xh 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@timsouttahere I didn't tell a joke I am serious corolla has no heated seats, no features, overpriced.
@@AlexAlex-gs1xh not everyone wants features
Kia has the most ugliest wheels
Kia aint shocking anyone
This looks like a new, old-person car, both inside and out. Terrible interior. Corrola will be just fine.
No it's an awesome interior corolla will take 20yrs to have such a nice premium interior with this tech. Corolla doesn't even have a big screenand no heated seats as standard where as this has.
@@AlexAlex-gs1xhsure, the interior is very flashy and impressive, but you have to take everything into account. Kia is known for loading their vehicles with the latest tech and features, while Toyota is known for sticking with what’s well known and reliable. In 10 years, the Toyota will still be running on the same engine and transmission, whereas the Kia likely won’t be. Their engines explode. Maybe these vehicles appeal to a younger and less mature audience? These Corollas do and always will sell so well because of the reliability. Not everyone cares about a giant screen.
@@AlexAlex-gs1xh The EX (which is what this one is) doesn't have heated seats
@Bloopers-bp6de bro ask anyone who's from outside the US most people don't keep cars that long and just upgrade after 5 yrs any car can last 5 yrs and the kia is cheaper woth more features. Even if I had to pick something to keep for 20 years, it still won't be a corolla because it doesn't have heated seats as standard I would rather buy an impreza or legacy.
@Scott-r3s yea maybe but the higher trim will this would be like a base model.
KIA sucks..
They are for people who can’t get approved for Nissan financing
