Overview

• Kia will build the K4 hatchback in Pesquería, Nuevo León, for shipment to 45 destinations, including the European Union and right‑hand‑drive markets such as the UK and Ireland.
• The company reports U.S. exports remain stable after redirecting some Hyundai Tucson output from the same complex to Canada to manage tariff exposure without cutting production.
• The K4 achieved Latin NCAP’s top five‑star rating, with a stable structure, six standard airbags, electronic stability control, and available driver‑assistance features including autonomous emergency braking.
• Regional content for the hatchback is about 87% under T‑MEC, with the non‑regional portion facing an average U.S. duty of roughly 11% if exported.
• Mexico pricing for the hatchback is 528,900 pesos for GT Line and 576,900 pesos for GT Line Turbo with 2.0‑liter 147‑hp or 1.6‑liter 190‑hp engines, while the sedan has reached 9,600 sales this year to lift Kia’s compact share to 14%.
