The Kia K4 is a compact car that replaces the Kia Forte and Kia Ceed in global markets. South Korean brand Kia is known for creating reliable models, that come with a 7-year manufacturer warranty. The K4 features a conventional, non-electrified 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission in the form of the 1.6 150 GT line. Mild-hybrid technology features in the 1.0-litre engine options, helping these models achieve approximately 48.7 to 50 mpg on the combined cycle.
The Kia K4 is heavily targeted as a traditional, non-electric alternative to SUVs in the C-segment hatchback market. Designed with a fastback silhouette and featuring advanced technology, including a panoramic digital cockpit, the K4 is notable for its class-leading rear space. Despite its compact classification, the K4 provides 38 inches (964mm) of rear legroom, which surpasses the larger mid-size Kia K5.
It also features a massive integrated digital cockpit totaling nearly 30 inches, comprising a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, a 5.3-inch climate control screen, and a 12.3-inch infotainment display. The K4's available on both business leases and personal leases.

We think leasing's a great choice. When you lease you don't own the vehicle so its value depreciation won't be your concern. You pay a fixed monthly sum for the duration of your contract then simply hand the car back.
Leasing a Kia K4 rather than buying one outright can offer a range of benefits. Firstly, leasing usually requires a much lower initial outlay than other methods, saving you money in the short term. The resulting monthly payments are fixed at the agreed rate for the entire duration of your agreement, meaning no nasty surprises. Vehicle depreciation isn't your concern, simply hand back the car at the end of the contract, free to look for a new deal. Lease through us and gain the reassurance of our decades spent building relationships with funders and manufacturers across the UK.
Early feedback indicates solid, dependable performance with high marks for build quality and, as of late 2025, few reported mechanical issues. The K4 is covered by Kia's industry-leading 7-year/100,000-mile warranty.
The cost of leasing a Kia K4 depends on a number of factors including the vehicle spec, contract length, mileage allowance, maintenance package inclusion and whether you're leasing as a business or individual.
Additionally, if you’re looking to reduce the monthly rental payments you can make a larger initial rental payment. The total cost of the lease will be the same; you’ll simply have paid more at the start of the contract so subsequent payments will be lower.
