Kia Sedan Comparison

The Kia K4 is a new compact sedan that is replacing the Kia Forte in the lineup. Compact sedans are excellent for commuting and tackling driving requirements while reducing your carbon footprint and easily maneuvering busy streets and parking lots. The Kia K4 is sleek, stylish, and full of modern appeal. Two power levels are possible, including the standard 147-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (the same as the outgoing Kia Forte). However, the exciting GT-Line Turbo trim comes with a serious power kick, with a 190-horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine option.

The outgoing Kia Forte is a compact sedan that offers an efficient 147-horsepower four-cylinder engine, which carries over to the new Kia K4. The tech seems outdated compared to the newer K4 and K5. Rather than the stunning 12.3-inch dual displays with infotainment and digital driver's information screens, the Kia Forte has a smaller separate infotainment touchscreen, with the largest option being a 10.3-inch display. However, it does offer modern staples like wireless Apple CarPlay© and Android Auto™.
