Replacing the Cerato, the Kia K4 arrives larger than the Toyota Corolla, with a bold design, technological interior and mild hybrid engine, promising to be Kia's big bet in Brazil in 2025.
When was the last time you were excited about the launch of a sedan? Well, get ready, because the Kia K4 is coming to Brazil in 2025, promising to shake up the market and replace the well-known Kia Cerato. Imported directly from Mexico, the K4 already has everything to be one of the most interesting cars of next year.
With dimensions larger than the Toyota Corolla and a bold design, the model combines cutting-edge technology, a mild-hybrid engine and an interior inspired by German cars. Let's explore what makes this mid-size sedan a such a promising choice.
Modern and aggressive design of the Kia K4
The Kia K4's appearance is its calling card. It manages to balance a sporty style with a refined touch, ideal for those looking for something different in the sedan category.

The front end is dominated by bold headlights that appear to “dance” in three directions: towards the sides, the grille and the bumper. This inspiration came from the EV5, showing how Kia is investing in futuristic design.
The side shape of the K4 is reminiscent of a coupe, with aerodynamic lines that flow elegantly. The rear door handles are camouflaged in the pillars, offering an even cleaner and more modern look.
At the rear, the interconnected taillights flow smoothly down the bumper, giving the sedan a sporty touch. It's the kind of detail that makes the car recognizable from afar.
Technological and sophisticated interior
Stepping into the Kia K4 is like stepping into another world. The interior combines advanced technology and a minimalist design that pleases even the most demanding.
The dashboard features three modern screens: two 12,3-inch screens for the multimedia center and instrument panel, plus a smaller 5-inch screen for the climate control controls. This configuration is practical and visually impressive.
Inspired by German cars, the K4's interior features horizontal lines and a discreet yet sophisticated look. It's a space designed to impress without going overboard.
Specifications and possible engines
Although the details of the engine in Brazil have not yet been confirmed, some clues have already been given.
The K4 is expected to come equipped with a mild-hybrid powertrain, combining a combustion engine and a 48V electrical system. This type of technology, used in models such as the Niro and Stonic, offers efficiency and performance.
Among the options, we can expect the 1.6 turbo engine with up to 193 hp, associated with an eight-speed automatic transmission, or the 2.0 naturally aspirated engine with 149 hp, with CVT transmission. Both configurations are robust and promise to serve the Brazilian public well.
Kia K4 in the Brazilian market
Coming to Brazil means facing tough competitors, such as the Toyota Corolla. However, the Kia K4 seems to be up to the challenge.
The K4 surpasses the Corolla in dimensions, with 4,85 meters in length and 1,84 meters in width, offering more interior space and comfort. The trunk, although a little smaller (413 liters), is still functional for everyday use.
Imported from Mexico, the model arrives with fewer taxes and is more competitive. This can make it an attractive option in terms of cost-benefit.
The Kia K4 promises to be more than just a replacement for the Cerato. It features a striking design, a technological interior and engine options that place it as a one of the best bets for 2025. If you are thinking about changing your car, it is worth waiting and getting to know this sedan that promises to revolutionize the Brazilian market. Who knows, maybe it is exactly what you are looking for?
Where are the pictures of the car? What a lame article!!!
I couldn't find any photos of the vehicle.
Corolla manufactured for over 50 years… Kia is impossible to maintain because it is so expensive.
No chance, I guess
