Raiti’s Rides
Joe Raiti from the Raiti’s Rides YouTube channel got an opportunity to explore the Kia K4 at the auto show and offered his thoughts. He noted that this fresh model brings alterations in its dimensions, form, and design overall.
“Even though this is a compact sedan, it is getting a little bit wider, a little bit longer, which is going to give you more interior space and also a better driving experience going down the road,” said Raiti.
He mentions that the sedan’s updated LED headlights are styled similarly to the latest changes in the K5. Raiti also got to check out the sedan’s interior, which he found to be simple and well-organized.
“You’re going to have about 30 inches of screen, so you have your 12.3 for your infotainment system, and then the rest of the 30 inches is in the digital gauge cluster,” said Raiti.
He pointed out that there was plenty of room for his head and shoulders in the front seat, and he also noticed that the back seat was quite roomy.
“Even though this is a compact sedan, you gotta throw out the compact whole word. There’s nothing compact back here,” said Raiti.
Redline Reviews
Sofyan Bey of the Redline Reviews YouTube Channel was also among the select few who got an early peek at the 2025 Kia K4 at the event. He pointed out how attractive the car looks, especially mentioning its eye-catching LED headlights that reminded him of the EV9, along with its unique amber daytime running lights and signal indicators.

“It has the latest interpretation of the Kia design language here with their tiger nose grille,” said Bey. “The front fascia just looks a lot more aggressive. I think that Kia has done a really good job.”
Bey highlights the engine choices for the car, explaining there’s an option between a two-liter four-cylinder or a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine. These are similar to the engines you’ll find in the current Kia Forte sedan. However, Bey thinks this new model will be better for fuel efficiency and emit less pollution. He also compliments the interior design and quality of the car.
“When you step inside the interior, this is where again Kia is really pulling out all the stops to really deliver an interior that feels a lot more upscale and premium than typical vehicles in the class,” said Bey. “This feels like a huge step above the Forte.”
He emphasizes the modern look of the dashboard, the roomy area for passengers, and the cutting-edge tech features.
“If you guys are looking for something stylish, more premium with bigger backseat space and all the latest tech features, this model should be hitting your local Kia dealership sometime in the third quarter of 2024,” said Bey.
