Kia Replaces Ceed With K4, Opens Orders From €29,990

Kia positions the larger compact to retain buyers who want gasoline power.

Overview

  • Orders are now open in Europe, with first K4 deliveries to dealers expected in late November and production confirmed in Mexico.
  • Launch powertrains are gasoline only: a 1.0‑liter three‑cylinder with 115 PS (manual or 7‑speed DCT with 48‑V mild hybrid) and a 1.6‑liter turbo with 150 or 180 PS, with no diesel and a plug‑in hybrid planned later.
  • The K4 grows to 4.44 meters with a 2.72‑meter wheelbase and a 438‑liter trunk, offering more rear‑seat space than the Ceed.
  • Cabin tech mirrors Kia’s EVs with twin 12.3‑inch displays, an AI voice assistant, Wi‑Fi hotspot, over‑the‑air updates and available digital keys.
  • Pricing starts at €29,990 for the Vision trim, with higher trims including Spirit and GT‑Line reaching into the mid‑to‑high €30,000s, as the hatchback launches first and a wagon follows.
