Kia K4 Hybrid: this hatchback is coming to the Netherlands in early 2026

Design Kia K4

The Kia K4 has a number of distinctive features. Look, for example, at the floating roofline that flows seamlessly into the tailgate, the Star Map Signature lighting, the hidden rear door handles in the C-pillar and the Sparkling Yellow color. The car is 4,440 mm long and 1,850 mm wide.

Interior

Inside, a 12.3-inch instrument panel, a 5.3-inch display for climate control and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen stand out. The Connected Car Navigation Cockpit brings navigation, multimedia and vehicle settings together in one interface. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on all trims, and the more luxurious models are equipped with a wireless phone charger. A Harman Kardon sound system is optional. Of course, over-the-air (OTA) updates, music streaming and a Wi-Fi hotspot have also been considered.

Comes in two flavors

Kia Netherlands will offer the K4 with two different electrified powertrains. The offering begins with a Mild Hybrid (MHEV) that combines a 115-hp 1.0 T-GDI gasoline engine with a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. A full hybrid (HEV) will join the lineup in late 2026.

The first examples of the Kia K4 MHEV will arrive in the Netherlands in the spring of 2026. The versions and prices will be announced ahead of its introduction.
