Kia K4 Regina Buyer's Guide

Are you looking for a compact sedan that breaks the mould? The all-new Kia K4 has landed, and it's here to challenge your ideas about compact design, technology, and spaciousness. Let's dive into what makes this sedan a cut above the rest and help you find the perfect K4 for your Saskatchewan adventures!

Which Trim is Right for You?

Let's break down the trims to help you choose your perfect K4:

  • LX: The essential K4, solid and packed with core safety & tech! Comes with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine (147 hp, 132 lb.-ft. torque) and an Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT). Expect a combined fuel consumption of 7.0 L/100km.
  • EX: Level up with alloy wheels, mirror signal repeaters, BCA, RCCA, and wireless phone charging! Also features Drive Mode Select. This trim shares the 2.0L engine and IVT with the LX, with a slightly higher combined fuel consumption of 7.3 L/100km.
  • EX+: Includes a sweet power sunroof, acoustic windshield, and comfy synthetic leather seats! Same 2.0L engine, and combined fuel consumption as the EX.
  • GT-Line Turbo: Sporty look, navigation, and paddle shifters for a dynamic drive! This is where the power kicks in with a 1.6L Turbo GDI engine (190 hp, 195 lb.-ft. torque) and an 8-speed automatic transmission. Combined fuel consumption is 8.0 L/100km.
  • GT-Line Limited: Top-tier luxury, advanced safety features (like FCA 2 and HDA 2), premium Harman Kardon audio, Digital Key 2, driver memory seat, and cooled front seats! This trim also features the 1.6L Turbo GDI engine and 8-speed automatic transmission.

Not Just Any Sedan

The K4 isn't just another sedan; it's a statement. Its bold proportions, fastback styling, and wide stance are all part of Kia's "Opposites United" design language. From the reborn tiger-nose grille to the hidden rear door handles, every detail screams sporty and athletic.

Space & Cargo

Don't let the "compact sedan" label fool you. The K4 boasts the largest interior cabin space in the segment, with roomy seating and impressive head and legroom. And for all your gear, groceries, or even a prairie road trip, the trunk offers a generous 413L (14.6 cu ft.) cargo capacity - rivalling many larger sedans!

Stay Connected

You'll get standard front and rear USB-C charging ports, plus wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. But it gets even better with three free years of Kia Connect. Imagine using your smartphone as a secure key with Digital Key 2, letting you lock, unlock, and even start your engine without a key fob! Plus, those dual 12.3" TFT screens and a dedicated 5" climate screen create a panoramic command center that is futuristic and functional.

Safety and Tech

Kia is serious about safety, and the K4 offers features usually found in more expensive vehicles. We're talking about Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), like Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go and even rear-side airbags!

Here are some highlights of the K4's smart tech:

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA 1.5/2.0): Designed to warn you of potential collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists, and can even apply the brakes. The 2.0 version adds Junction Crossing and Evasive Steering Assist!
  • Lane Following Assist: Helps keep you centred in your lane using a front windshield camera.
  • 360 Parking Camera & Blind-View Monitor: The K4 uses cameras on all sides of the vehicle to give you a live 3D view of your surroundings when parking and a view of your blind spot when changing lanes.
  • Lane Change Assist: The K4 can assist with lane changes on roads approved for Highway Drive Assist (like the Ring Road, Regina Bypass, Circle Drive, and Trans-Canada highway).
  • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist: Uses radar to detect vehicles in your blind spot and can even apply braking power.
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Avoidance Assist: Monitors for traffic approaching from the sides when you're backing up and can warn or apply brakes.

Interior Options

Depending on the trim, you'll find grey cloth, grey synthetic leather, or black and white synthetic leather with matching accents.

Outstanding Warranty

And for peace of mind, every Kia K4 has an outstanding program, including a 5-year/100,000 km comprehensive warranty and 24-hour roadside assistance!
