Kia reveals full UK pricing and specifications for K4

admin

Kia has revealed full UK pricing and specifications for the hotly anticipated K4, the brand’s all-new petrol powered family hatchback. From today, the K4 will be sold alongside the fully electric Kia EV4 range and XCeed crossover, giving customers a choice of petrol or electric C-segment family cars in multiple bodystyles for the first time.

The Kia K4 range starts from just £25,995 in the UK, significantly undercutting established rivals, while offering a more generous specification, Kia’s seven-year warranty and established reputation for quality. All models are also fitted with fully independent suspension, even in entry-level form, unlike certain other models in the family hatchback segment. The result is a car which handles keenly and rides comfortably relative to its rivals, while imbuing drivers with a sense of confidence and stability at the wheel.

As with the new Sportage and Picanto, the K4 is available in a choice of three different specification levels: ‘Pure’, ‘GT-Line’ and ‘GT-Line S’. With each variant equipped with a wide range of features, the Kia K4 buying process is as simple and understandable as possible – the only ‘optional extra’ is premium paint.

Order books are now open for the K4, with first UK customer deliveries due to start later this year.
