Kia’s replacement for its ever-green Cerato arrived in two stages — the K4 Sedan, which arrived earlier this year, and now the K4 Hatch, which has just landed in Australia.
The Hatch trim levels and specification mirror the Sedan exactly, which means the range kicks off with the entry-level S, yours for $32,090.
The big news for S is a new and more efficient 2.0-litre engine with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that drops power slightly, and fuel use more significantly. The new engine and transmission combination makes 110kW and 180Nm, compared to 112kW and 192Nm, with fuel use falling from 7.4L/100km to a more frugal six litres flat.
The K4 S arrives with 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, digital radio, a smart key with push-button start, power folding and heated exterior mirrors, four USB-C outlets and a six-speaker audio system, but it does have the worst tech offering, swapping Kia’s twin-screen system for what it calls a 'Basic Digital Driver Cluster' with 4.0-inch multi-function (LCD) display — which doesn’t sound too fancy, does it?
You can add the 'Safety Pack' to the K4 S for $2100 and that adds a 12.3-inch instrument display, as well as dual-zone climate control and an expanded auto emergency braking (AEB) system with junction turning and crossing and direct/oncoming lane change detection.
