Why was the Kia K4 discontinued?
1 Answers
The main reason for the discontinuation of the Kia K4 is the model update. The older Kia K4 has been renamed to the K4, and the updated Kia K4 not only got a new name but also underwent significant changes in its exterior design. The K4 now appears more youthful and aggressive, with the removal of the fog lights below the daytime running lights, making it look less like the older Kia K4 and more like a scaled-down version of the Kia K5. Here are some details about the K4: 1. Dimensions: The K4 measures 4720/1815/1465mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2770mm, which remains consistent with the current K4 model. 2. Interior: The interior of the K4 hasn't seen as noticeable upgrades as the exterior, still following Kia's family design philosophy. It boasts strong entertainment functionality, featuring a car navigation system, automatic air conditioning, cruise control, and more. 3. Powertrain: The K4 offers two powertrain options: a 1.8L and a 1.6T engine. The 1.8L engine delivers a maximum power of 105kW (143PS), while the 1.6T engine produces a maximum power of 128.7kW (175PS). Depending on the model, the transmission system is paired with either a 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
