Kia puts affordable Skoda Octavia rival on the road: live photos have emerged

The new Kia K4 sedan for the 2025 model year competes in the same segment as the Toyota Corolla or Skoda Octavia. However, the Korean model should turn out to be more affordable. The car has been sent to the roads for final testing before entering the market.

Details have become known Carscoops. Soon, the new Kia K4 will go on sale in the United States. This is one of the main markets for the model, which replaces the Kia Forte and Cerato. However, the car has now been caught on European roads.

American road tests have already been completed. In Europe, the car is being rolled in test mode under the guise of an unknown car. Although the company has previously already declassified the design of the sedan.

The front lighting equipment has received a strict execution. It gives the car a sharp, brutal and "swooping" look - bold and unusual.

Rear lights are united by a long horizontal strip, but the main blocks are installed vertically. Rear door handles are integrated into the roof pillars. Together with the elegant, streamlined silhouette, this makes the sedan look like a coupe.

The engine lineup includes 1.6 (turbo, 190 hp) and 2L (147 hp) gasoline motors. The price of the Kia K4 2025 is yet to be announced. Kia Forte, which the novelty has replaced, costs 20,000 dollars, related Hyundai Elantra - about 22,000. Here are the benchmarks.
