2026 Kia K4
Four generations in, the K4 delivers tech well above its compact-sedan class — the Connected Car Navigation Cockpit, Kia AI Assistant, a standard 147-hp engine with an optional 190-hp turbo on top, and five trims spanning the value-priced LX to the performance-tuned GT-Line Turbo. Shop it in Hattiesburg, and every new K4 from Dean McCrary Kia comes with upfront pricing and factory warranty.
Awards & Accolades
These aren’t just good looks talking — the K4 has actual hardware to back up its price tag.
Top Safety Pick+
K4 sedans built after January 2025 all claimed IIHS’s top honor, scoring Good across the small-overlap, updated moderate-overlap, and updated side-crash tests.
5-Star Overall Rating
A flawless overall safety score, matched with Kia’s Drive Wise driver-assist suite included standard across the whole K4 lineup.
Best Compact Car for the Money
This recognition came from combining an accessible starting price with a lower projected ownership cost than most of the compact-car field.
#1 Compact Car, Initial Quality
First in its class among compact cars, and runner-up across the entire industry for initial quality.
Factory Warranty, Included
No time cap on powertrain coverage, free of charge on every new K4 we sell right here in Hattiesburg — layered on top of Kia’s 10-year/100,000-mile factory warranty.
The Complete Price Ladder
Where each 2026 K4 trim’s MSRP begins, from the budget-friendly LX to the performance-minded GT-Line Turbo.
2026 K4 — MSRP*
Add $1,245 for destination. Only GT-Line Turbo carries the 190-hp 1.6L turbo engine.
Two Engines, One Value Leader
The standard 147-hp 2.0L engine and IVT combo covers LX, LXS, EX, and GT-Line. Step up to GT-Line Turbo instead and you’ll get a 190-hp turbocharged 1.6L with an 8-speed automatic — a price, tech, and turbo-power combination few other compact sedans can match.
Standard Efficiency or Available Turbo
Pick the frugal four-cylinder for everyday driving, or move to GT-Line Turbo for genuine turbo quickness.
2.0L MPI — LX through GT-Line
This engine covers four of the K4’s five trims with smooth, efficient power, reaching as high as 39 mpg on the highway.
1.6L Turbo GDI — GT-Line Turbo
You trade a little efficiency for genuine performance here — independent testers have clocked this engine at 0–60 mph in the mid-7-second range.
K4 GT-Line & GT-Line Turbo
There are two paths to more attitude on a K4: sharpen the styling, or put genuine turbo performance underneath it.
GT-Line
- Sport-tuned suspension with multi-link rear
- Black exterior accents and unique wheel design
- Heated front seats standard, heated steering wheel available
- Same 147-hp 2.0L engine and IVT as EX and below
GT-Line Turbo
