2025 Kia K4 Sedan Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2025 Kia K4 is a small sedan that is offered in five trim levels: LX, LXS, EX, GT-Line and GT-Line Turbo. Most models are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (147 horsepower, 132 lb-ft of torque). It's paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) that sends power to the front wheels. The range-topping GT-Line Turbo upgrades to a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder (190 hp, 195 lb-ft) that is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Which K4 trim does Edmunds recommend?
The 2025 Kia K4's base trims are a little too basic for our tastes, which is why we suggest stepping up to the midrange EX model. It dresses up the interior with nicer materials, a digital instrument panel, dual-zone automatic climate control and a wireless charging pad, and it keeps the cost reasonable.
