The K4 is Kia's small car, the bold, much bigger replacement for the long running Cerato, and one of the few genuinely affordable sedans left on sale. It brings dramatic styling, a roomy cabin, a big boot and Kia's twin screen tech at a sharp price. Most grades use an economical petrol; the sporty GT-Line steps up to a punchier turbo. It's offered as both a sedan and a hatch, in S, Sport, Sport+ and GT-Line, all backed by Kia's seven year warranty.

Drive-away · NSWThe value pick, with the $2,100 Safety Pack ticked.
★ Editor's Pick · The AutoFocus Verdict
The S is the value pick, but plan on the $2,100 Safety Pack. In its base form it is the only K4 with a four star ANCAP rating, and it feels a little lacking inside. The Safety Pack fixes this, adding key safety features along with genuinely useful tech upgrades such as dual zone climate and an upgraded digital driver cluster, and it lifts the S to five stars, which makes the pack close to essential rather than a nice to have. This combination makes the K4 one of the best bargain sedans available.
The step up for Highway Driving Assist 2 and built-in maps.
The comfort grade, with artificial leather and heated front seats.
The sporty flagship, with the turbo engine.
