The five-door Kia K4 builds on the K4 sedan with a shorter footprint and more useful storage space behind the seats.
Powertrains mirror the sedan lineup, with a standard 2.0L engine and an available 1.6L turbo-four producing 190 hp, paired with front-wheel drive and either a CVT or eight-speed automatic.
There’s a robust lineup of driver assistance systems in the K4 Hatchback as well. These include adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist.
Depending on trim, buyers will also find a blind-spot warning system, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot view monitor, and a 360-degree camera.
The K4 Hatchback includes a tech-focused interior with dual 12.3-inch displays, simplified physical controls, and a wide array of driver assistance and comfort features.
Available goodies include a wireless charger, Harman Kardon sound system, Digital Key 2.0, ventilated front seats, heated outboard rear seats, and more.
The 2026 Kia K4 Hatchback will arrive in dealerships later this year. We expect pricing to sit just above the equivalent sedans, as is customary in the segment, but we’ll know for sure closer to launch
