With a bit of real-world driving experiences, including a journey from Sacramento to Lake Tahoe, and plenty of winter storm time, it’s clear that the K4 GT-Line is a mixed bag of impressive features and notable shortcomings.
The 2025 Kia K4 GT-Line’s exterior design marks a bold leap forward for the brand, showcasing Kia’s commitment to progressive aesthetics in the compact sedan segment with dimensions of 185.4 inches in length, 72.8 inches in width, and 55.9 inches in height, it cuts a striking figure on the road.
The GT-Line achieves an EPA-estimated 29 mpg city, 39 mpg highway, and 33 mpg combined. While these figures are acceptable for its segment, they fall short of class leaders and don’t particularly stand out as exceptional or terrible.
Inside, the K4 GT-Line presents a mixed bag of features and quality. The cabin is spacious, offering generous rear legroom of 38 inches. The interior trim felt cheap, with lightweight buttons that raise concerns about long-term durability.
