Exterior Dimensions and Weights
All five K4 sedan trims use the same published exterior dimensions; curb weight changes with equipment and powertrain.
| Dimension | K4 sedan |
|---|---|
| Length | 185.4 inches |
| Body width, without mirrors | 72.8 inches |
| Height | 55.9 inches |
| Wheelbase | 107.1 inches |

| Turning radius | 17.58 feet |
| Trim | Curb weight, minimum–maximum | Gross vehicle weight rating |

| GT-Line | 3,080–3,161 pounds | 4,101 pounds |

The 185.4-inch length leaves the K4 with a compact footprint for parking near downtown Reading events. Mirrors extend beyond the published body width. The 5.3-inch ground clearance is a road-car dimension, and the front struts work with either a torsion-beam or multi-link rear suspension according to trim.
Interior Dimensions
Rear legroom is 38.0 inches across the range, and the available sunroof changes headroom measurements.
| Measurement | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| Legroom | 42.3 inches | 38.0 inches |
| Headroom without sunroof | 39.0 inches | 37.3 inches |
| Headroom with sunroof | 37.1 inches | 37.0 inches |
| Shoulder room | 56.5 inches | 54.7 inches |
| Hip room | 53.3 inches | 51.9 inches |
Capacity and Cabin Flexibility
K4 sedan trunk volume is 14.6 cubic feet, with a 60/40 folding rear seat included from LXS upward.
Five seating positions are standard. The folding seat lets longer cargo extend forward from the trunk, useful for a Berks County shopping trip or bags for a Blue Marsh Lake outing. Passenger loads and cargo share the vehicle’s carrying capacity, with the individual tire-and-loading label governing the loaded car.
Wheels, Tires and Brakes
Wheel diameter increases from 16 inches on LX and LXS to 18 inches on both GT-Line models.
| K4 trim | Standard wheel | Standard tire |
|---|---|---|
| LX | 16-inch steel with covers | 205/55R16 |
| LXS | 16-inch alloy | 205/55R16 |
| EX | 17-inch alloy | 225/45R17 |
| GT-Line | 18-inch alloy | 235/40R18 |
| GT-Line Turbo | 18-inch black-finish alloy | 235/40R18 |
Four-wheel disc brakes, an anti-lock braking system and an electronic parking brake with Auto Hold are standard. GT-Line and GT-Line Turbo use a sport-tuned multi-link rear suspension. These details separate their chassis from LX, LXS and EX, which use a coupled torsion-beam rear axle.
Fuel Economy and Fuel Capacity
EPA ratings are 33 combined mpg for the 2.0L K4 models and 28 combined mpg for GT-Line Turbo.
| K4 powertrain | City | Highway | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0L IVT, FWD | 29 mpg | 39 mpg | 33 mpg |
| 1.6L turbo, 8-speed automatic, FWD | 26 mpg | 33 mpg | 28 mpg |
EPA fuel-economy ratings apply to the stated powertrains. Actual mileage varies. Both engines use a 12.4-gallon tank and regular unleaded gasoline. A daily Route 61 trip and steady I-78 travel involve different traffic patterns, so a single commute can differ from the combined test figure.
Key Features by Trim
The central 12.3-inch touchscreen and wireless smartphone integration are standard on every K4 sedan.
| Feature | LX | LXS | EX | GT-Line | GT-Line Turbo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto | Standard | Standard | Standard | Standard | Standard |
| Heated front seats | Not standard | Not standard | Standard | Standard | Standard |
| SynTex upholstery | Not standard | Not standard | Standard | Standard | Standard |
| Dual-zone automatic climate | Not standard | Not standard | Standard | Standard | Standard |
| Wireless charger | Not standard | Not standard | Standard | Standard | Standard |

Safety and Driver Assistance
All K4 models include forward collision assistance, lane assistance and Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go.
LXS and higher trims add blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic collision assistance. GT-Line Turbo offers further technology through its available Technology Package. Driver assistance has operating limits and requires the driver’s attention.
Warranty Coverage
Kia includes a five-year/60,000-mile basic limited warranty and ten-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited coverage for the original purchaser.
| Coverage | Term, whichever comes first |
|---|---|
| Basic limited warranty | 5 years / 60,000 miles |
| Original-purchaser powertrain limited warranty | 10 years / 100,000 miles |
| Limited anti-perforation warranty | 5 years / 100,000 miles |
| Roadside assistance | 5 years / 60,000 miles |
Kia limited-warranty terms govern eligibility and exclusions. The K4 service schedule lists oil, filter, fluid and spark-plug intervals. Outten Kia provides service support for owners from Lebanon, Quakertown and the Lehigh Valley.
K4 Numbers in Practice
A short body and substantial rear legroom make the K4 useful for drivers carrying adults without moving into a larger sedan.
| Number | What it means in daily use |
|---|---|
| 185.4-inch length | A compact sedan footprint for street and lot parking |
| 38.0-inch rear legroom | Room for adult passengers behind the front seats |
| 14.6-cubic-foot trunk | Separate enclosed space for luggage and shopping |
| 60/40 rear seat on LXS and higher | A long-item opening alongside an upright rear-seat section |
