Kia K4
The all-new K4 serves as a direct replacement for the long-running Forte. It also tries to fill the void left by the departure of the K5 midsize sedan. When compared with the former, the K4’s cabin offers higher-quality materials and increased comfort. The standard 2.0-litre engine produces 147 horsepower, while the turbocharged 1.6-litre engine in GT-Line trim delivers 190 horsepower. No AWD option is available, and no hybrid variant is planned, either.
