Kia utilized this week’s 2024 New York car show to present the brand-new K4 portable car, which will replace the Forte when it arrives in showrooms in the second half of the year as a 2025 model. During the introduction, Kia provided a video that revealed a hatchback variation of the K4, a body style that Kia terminated on the Forte in 2018.
The video clip is listed below and shows the hatch at the 10:15 mark, along with some remarks from style chief Karim Habib. Motor1 has found out that Kia intends to sell both body styles in the U.S. Habib referred to the hatch
as the K4 five-door, a name it could carry right into manufacturing. The previous Forte hatch was referred to as the Forte5. The hatch will presumably include the very same specs as the sedan, though likely with even more storage space. The car gauges 185.4 inches long, making it almost three inches longer than the Forte. Hatchback variations of the exact same automobile often tend to be much shorter. Kia confirmed two powertrain alternatives for the sedan, both of them gas devices. The typical engine is a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder rated at 147 hp, while a 1.6-liter turbo-4 rated at 190 hp will be offered. The naturally aspirated engine comes with a CVT, while the turbocharged engine comes with an 8-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive is typical for both powertrains. Kia will certainly likewise supply an electrical hatchback comparable in dimension to the K4 hatch.
It will go by the name EV4, and a principle of the same name that was revealed in 2014 hints at the design.
