Kia officially unveiled the 2026 K4 Hatchback at the 2025 New York International Auto Show, marking the return of a five-door compact hatchback to its U.S. lineup. This model follows the earlier debut of the K4 sedan, which replaces the Forte.
The hatchback, showcased in GT-Line trim, features a design similar to the sedan but offers enhanced cargo space due to its hatchback configuration. Kia describes it as a practical vehicle aimed at dynamic urban lifestyles.
While specific details about the hatchback’s powertrain and features are limited, it’s expected to share many elements with the sedan, including engine options and interior technology.
The K4 Hatchback is confirmed for the U.S. market, with availability anticipated in late 2025 or early 2026.
