Is it right for you? Find out more here about the 2026 Kia K4 Hatchback in Phoenix AZ.
Trim Exterior, Spacious Interior
Kia trimmed 11 inches off of the K4 sedan’s length when they designed the hatchback. This makes it quite limber in traffic.
However, the engineers managed to preserve the Kia K4 sedan’s class-leading second-row. In fact, headroom grew by an inch. As a hatchback, it has more cargo space, too. You can expect:
Class-Leading Rear Headroom
Class-Leading Rear Legroom
22.2 Cu-Ft Cargo Hold
59.3 Cu-Ft Cargo Volume
The driver and passengers will enjoy plenty of wiggle room. For frequent travelers, the large cargo hold can store more luggage and gear than a sedan trunk.
Exciting Good Looks
Displaying an athletic bent, the 2025 Kia K4 is sure to make driving enthusiasts happy. It has a more compact footprint than the sedan, allowing greater agility.
With its floating roof design, the hatchback has a unique appeal. An athletic and aerodynamic exterior has fun features such as rear door handles hidden in plain sight. They are in the C-Pillar, not that you’ll notice them unless you look closely.
Vertical LED headlights and similar taillights are familiar design elements from the sedan. An exclusive Sparkling Yellow color scheme is a natural fit for this clever car.
GT-Line Refinements
The 147-horsepower engine, standard on the K4 Sedan, is also standard here, but the GT models are ready to turn this ride into a hopped up hatch.
New K4 GT-Line trims add a sport-tuned suspension for a racier attitude. GT-Line cabins have a three-spoke steering wheel and paddle shifters. Exteriors dress in bigger wheels, black mirror caps, black side sills, and black wheel arch moldings.
The 2026 Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo trim level provides 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque that’s controlled by a finely tuned 8-speed transmission. Kia also adds LED fog lights and distinctive small cube LED projection headlights to round out the fun exterior of the K4 GT-Line Turbo.
Standard and Available Features
Today’s cars need the latest technology to make shoppers happy, and the K4 Hatchback will not disappoint. It offers a driver cockpit with nearly 30 inches of screen space and a standard wireless charger. This dual digital display is enhanced by wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Owners can add a WiFi hotspot and the Kia Connect AI-based voice assistant. Then all it takes a “Hey Kia” to change the song or turn up the air conditioning. Enhanced Voice Recognition keeps expanding, and the system will now make suggestions about places to visit and even play voice-activated games.
Favorite cabin upgrades include a Connected Car Navigation Cockpit and Harman Kardon premium audio. With ultra-wideband technology, the Kia Digital Key 2.0 allows you to use your smartphone and certain other smart devices as virtual keys.
Crash Avoidance Assistance
The Kia ADAS suite includes all the modern basics of crash avoidance assistance. This includes a forward collision system to trigger an autobrake under pressure. A lane keeping assist is ready to help maintain a safe trajectory.
Watching for trouble, a blind-spot collision warning is a driver’s buddy when it comes to avoiding the worst crash scenarios. Stepping up, you can get a blind-spot collision avoidance assist that more actively supports the driver’s actions. There’s even a Blind-Spot View Monitor that can send a live feed to the dash screen.
When in reverse, the Rear Cross Traffic Alert can help you avoid common parking lot collisions.For even more help with parking, there’s an available distance warning and an exciting Surround View Monitor.
Driver Convenience
One favorite standard is Smart Cruise Control. This Kia system has stop and go capability, taking care of the most boring parts of your daily commute. You can relax a bit as the car helps you maintain a safe travel speed in busy traffic.
Shoppers may want to add the optional Evasive Steering Assist. This adds a more proactive system for avoiding obstacles in situations where space allows maneuvers. Furthermore, Highway Driving Assist 2 can handle driving duties and lane keeping on certain highways. These systems offer semi-autonomous travel on equipped K4 GT-Line Turbo trims.
