Discover the new Kia K4, arriving in UK showrooms in late 2025. A larger hatchback with premium tech, safety features and efficient hybrid engines.
Kia has confirmed that its new K4 hatchback is set to arrive in the UK later this year. The model is designed to strengthen Kia’s lineup in one of the most competitive segments of the market, offering drivers more space, technology, and safety features than many rivals.
Measuring slightly bigger than the Ceed, the K4 provides up to 438 litres of boot space, making it one of the most practical cars in its class. Rear passengers also benefit from extra legroom, which will appeal to families who need comfort on longer journeys.
Interior and Technology
The cabin of the K4 has been designed to focus on connectivity and convenience. Two 12.3-inch screens are standard, providing digital driver information and an easy-to-use infotainment system. Wireless smartphone connection is also included, allowing Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to work without cables. Higher specification models add a premium sound system, digital key access and enhanced ambient lighting.
Safety Features
As with other new Kia models, safety has been made a priority. Standard driver assistance systems include lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, automated emergency braking and intelligent speed limit recognition. Higher trims may offer features such as adaptive cruise control and 360-degree cameras, which are increasingly popular with UK drivers.
Engines and Hybrid Plans
The K4 will launch with a choice of 1.0-litre and 1.6-litre petrol engines, both available with mild hybrid technology to improve efficiency. A full hybrid version is planned for 2026, giving customers more choice depending on their driving needs.
Local Availability
Kia says the K4 will be available to order from late 2025 across the UK, from our TMS Kia dealerships in Leicester, Hinckley and Loughborough. Customers will be able to register their interest with TMS Kia today and over the coming months.
Industry Context
The launch of the K4 comes as Kia continues to expand and refresh its model range. The arrival of the all-electric Kia EV3 and flagship EV9 in 2024 highlighted the brand’s investment in electric mobility. The K4 will play a different role by strengthening Kia’s petrol and hybrid options, appealing to drivers who are not yet ready to make the switch to fully electric vehicles.
Final UK specifications and pricing for the Kia K4 will be confirmed in 2025, with first deliveries expected towards the end of the year.
