In this review by TheStraightPipes, the 2025 Kia K4 GT Line takes center stage, but does it hit the mark? Well, let's just say the exterior design leaves much to be desired, with the team finding it downright unappealing. From the odd extension of the rear door to the questionable placement of the brake lights, it's safe to say this car won't be winning any beauty contests. Moving inside, things don't get much better. The interior climate control layout is criticized for its poor design, making for a less-than-ideal user experience.
Despite its aesthetic shortcomings, the Kia K4 GT Line does offer some redeeming qualities. The steering wheel and seats receive praise for their comfort and design, adding a touch of sophistication to an otherwise lackluster interior. When it comes to performance, the car delivers a smooth driving experience with good handling and adaptive cruise control features. The team also highlights the presence of Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and a high-resolution 360 camera, catering to tech-savvy drivers looking for modern conveniences.
As the review progresses, attention turns to the car's mechanical aspects. The team appreciates the inclusion of a dipstick and recommends the Total Energies Quartz Ino XEC50W20 oil for optimal performance. With a starting price of $23995 Canadian, the Kia K4 GT Line offers a range of safety features, including lane centering and a 360 camera. However, the team suggests considering alternatives like the Jetta GLI or Civic SI for a more engaging driving experience, hinting that this Kia may fall short in the thrill department.
