2024 Kia K4 Review. The 2025 kia k4 is here, replacing the forte and shaking up the compact sedan game. Now, with the arrival of the 2025 kia k4, kia’s compact lineup is getting a serious upgrade.

Compare the 2024 kia forte and the 2025 kia k4. The new k4 starts at around $2,000 more than the outgoing forte at $23,145, but considering the forte spec that got our best value pick for 2024 was $22,145, i’d still consider.
