Happy almost Friday everyone! The all-new 2025 Kia K4 looks even better in-person a second time and we should finally be driving one in Dec, right when the vehicle will hit your local Kia dealers. Stay tuned for more information on the K4 Hatch around that time as well!

I'm a tad confused. The famous Drew & Mason Hardesty Brothers of Car Confections stated that the 2025 Kia K4 sedan will hit Kia dealers in Q3 of 2024 and you're saying December?

@@sachinnair91 it's probably going to be late this year. Kia/Hyundai had to move production locations recently which delayed a lot of new models. The 2024 Elantra hit last November-December and the N/N-Line I believe in January so not really surprising

People talk about Kia adding a lot of "premium" features to their cars, like heated seats, adaptive cruise, or 360 sensors/cameras but the fact is a lot of the technology are really cheaply supplied in Korea. Prestige brands like BMW will just charge a premium for these things which realistically only add a couple hundred bucks to the car cost. 12" Amoled screens are under $30 and the rest is just good software. Kia has just decided they wont overcharge like the Germans. We bought a Ceed 4 for half the price of an A Class and it had more features.
