The All-New 2025 KIA K4 EX FWD

[@czellian]

just picked up mine yesterday, very happy with it. Im coming from a 420hp K900 with all the options so its a big difference. But MPG and a car Kia actually isnt afraid to work on is a huge plus.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Yes. Nice 👍🏼 the mpg is great!

[@rafaeltorres2886]

Nice, finally, and affordable car, and it's the perfect size ,even the trunk is a decent size.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Agreed!

[@dcb113]

They look nice on the web. just saw a few in person and they look really cheap, especially the interior- ugly plastic and cheap grey cloth seats.

[@thecman26]

They are indeed sweet! The trunk is HUGE!

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

GT-Line just looks so cooler than the regular K4. I just dont like how this K4 is optioned out. I need my sunroof!

[@jeffrey-r8o]

Agreed. I want the GT line 1.6 litre turbo but in the hatchback choice!

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

@@jeffrey-r8o Hatchback looks cool. But I'm a sedan person. I just like how this looks like a fast back, but it's not.

[@jeffrey-r8o]

@jraheemjefcoat429 Hey look ill take either one just as long it has the 1.6 litre turbo engine,sunroof and the technology package, I'm good

[@TotesCoolio]

If you’re stupid enough to spend over 25k on a compact replacing the forte you’re an idiot with your finances, this trim is fine

[@VagabondBuilds]

I hear ya on the gt line. I like sporty also. But the K4 to me is a great price for the car

[@jared2232]

Pretty sweet car. I'm actively looking for a new ride. I'm looking to pull the trigger this time next year. The hatch version of this is extremely intriguing. If it was AWD it would be my clear choice ( Canadian winters )

[@VagabondBuilds]

Good luck!

[@Scottocaster6668]

I've had my exact same K4, different rims, actually, my rims are all dark grey, minus the machined outer edge, looks better imo. There's so much more he didn't cover about this car. AUTO HOLD button, (not buh-in) is for when you are in slow traffic, push it and it assist you from shifting your gas/break foot constantly to move forward. You just accelerate a little, then the car instantly stops, do it again..stop. Eases leg fatigue. It really is a lot of car for the $$!

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thanks for the heads up and support!

[@Valid_Points]

very nice for 25k!

[@VagabondBuilds]

I think it’s a lot of car for that price tag right?

[@Valid_Points]

@@VagabondBuilds much better than nissan for that price or even toyota

[@Adam_Star_0]

Big improvements with slightly higher price Honda should start takeing notes !

[@VagabondBuilds]

Totally worth it I say.

Bought a Kia k4 deep sea blue lxs took it on a 600 mile trip drive 75 to 80 mph used 7 half gallons I owned a 2023 forte lxs k4 drives better quieter my forte got 43 mpg just hope to get long gevity on my k 4 I paid for my k4 25500 that’s plates taxes love my Kia ❤

[@charlespresley8238]

Being honest 600 mile trip took 14 gallons Half tank on 300 miles I went with the k4 over Corolla civic Mazda 3 why cause cheaper better looking an better warranty I’ve got looks an compliments on my k4 month owning it facts baby facts

[@VagabondBuilds]

Glad you like your purchase and it’s doing what you like. Thanks for the update on your buy! Glad you enjoy 🙂

[@melvinjacobs2328]

Nice car for the money

[@VagabondBuilds]

Agreed

[@setsunaes]

"Goi with the 2.0 NA... don't get a turbo" man, but that CVT vs a normal Automatic trans... that alone makes me prefer the turbo. I don't want to be NEAR a CVT.

[@VagabondBuilds]

I hear ya…. I can’t blame you 😅 choose the better of both.

[@jrtej9575]

Good Camry alternative.

[@VagabondBuilds]

You think it will last as long as a camry. I hear they are liking these more and more.

[@hlg2491]

You are the first blogger to say “stay away from Turbo “ outstanding! Turbo is the worst thing to happen to the small engine. Disaster waiting to happen!

[@VagabondBuilds]

I hear ya! Natural aspiration is the best. I would have to say it’s good when it’s paired on a turbo diesel. Haha

[@thecman26]

I wish they would get the GT lines to the dealers faster so I bought an EX. Not a hill to die on I guess!

[@VagabondBuilds]

I hear ya.. you couldn’t wait?

[@boyzepter]

I don't like the front seat designed... how can put your accessories in the head seat for hanging your shopping thing? Interesting.. pls show us the gtline one...

[@VagabondBuilds]

We will do a review if we get one in the dealership near us!

[@Offensively-normal]

Hatchback could be coming soon.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Nice

[@davidnoonchester1913]

Trading in my sportage

[@VagabondBuilds]

For the k4?

[@davidnoonchester1913]

@@VagabondBuilds yes

[@davidnoonchester1913]

Gt

[@seth34567]

Yes someone else uses dead bodies to describe trunk size!!! Also I am a peaceful person.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Haha haha

[@melvinjacobs2328]

I don't like the key fob

[@VagabondBuilds]

Is that something you can get over?

[@IWeasel]

Then don’t buy a kia

[@amirfirdaus9419]

door panel looks cheap asf

[@VagabondBuilds]

Well, for 25k I still think there is a lot of car in there.

[@Scott-r3s]

Forte and K4 have different engines

[@VagabondBuilds]

I believe engines are the same. They added a turbo to the 2.0 and a hybrid to the 1.6 but overall same engines.

[@Scott-r3s]

@@VagabondBuilds Both engines used in the K4 (2.0 and 1.6 turbo) are smartstreams. The 2.0 used in the Forte is a nu and the 1.6 turbo is a gamma. And no 2.0 turbo and no hybrid on the K4
