What Owners are Saying About the 2026 Kia K4
"Very solid car overall"
"- The lights are really good - the digital dash and technology is excellent - I'm 6'5 and I fit comfortably inside it - an overall really good price - excellent backup camera - doesn't have a lot of power unless you put it into sport - the back doors are little weird where it's difficult to put in a car seat and your child inside - the brakes are not too good for a brand new car. Usually brand new cars they break on the dime - gas mileage is not great. I think I'm getting between 29 to 31 miles a gallon"
"Wow!!"
"I had to get the K4! It is stylish, comfortable, and drives smoothly! Love the technology features. You will love it!"
"Really expensive for a not so great car"
"My grandma was suckered into leasing this car because of all the advertised assistance features and external aesthetic of the car. The computer display can be cool when connected to an iPhone, but the novelty wears off fairly quickly as it's not much more useful than the standard display. The acceleration and handling of the car is very smooth and the car moves very fast. Mileage is great, she gets 31 mpg average. However, the features are both complicated and unhelpful, which is the reason she got the car in the first place. The radar in front of the car has frequent issues in detection and being easily "blocked", whether by ice, dirt, etc. The assisted driving is jerky, and the automatic breaking boarders on being dangerous. There have been times we're on the highway and passing another car without problem when the automatic breaks sense a problem and activate automatically for a very sudden stop. It also senses collisions when going over bumps in roads. We had an Elantra before this and the safety features were much more useful and effective without even half the problems. The cooling system is subpar, the car speakers have a very low maximum sound. For what it's worth, you could easily get a different brand or model for cheaper and be much more happy with your purchase."
