In this episode, the lads at savagegeese delve into the world of the 2025 Kia K4, a car that's causing quite a stir in the automotive realm. Out goes the Forte, and in comes the K4, with Kia pulling out all the stops to make a statement. Sharing a platform with the Hyundai Elantra, this little beast boasts some seriously eye-catching exterior styling that sets it apart from the crowd. But it's not just about looks - the K4 offers a spacious interior with class-leading rear legroom, although taller passengers might find the sloped roofline a bit of a challenge in the back seats.

When it comes to pricing, Kia has hit the sweet spot with the K4, offering a range of models from the base poverty version at $23,000 to the fully-loaded GT line at $28,000. And let's not forget about the interior - comfortable leather seats, physical controls, and a nifty threaded screen design give the K4 a touch of luxury without breaking the bank. Under the hood, you'll find either a 2L engine with a CVT in the base models or a turbocharged engine with an 8-speed automatic in the GT line, providing a decent amount of power for this compact car.

Taking the K4 out for a spin, the team is pleasantly surprised by its performance, quietness, and overall value compared to rivals like the Civic. Steering and inputs may not be on par with the competition, but the K4 makes up for it with its impressive features and tech. However, the big question mark remains around long-term reliability and residuals, areas where Kia has had some struggles in the past. Despite some concerns, the K4 GT line, priced at $28,000, stands out for its blend of practicality, comfort, and safety features, making it a compelling option in the compact car segment.
