rmc523 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Kia K4 revealed for New York as the Forte's successor - Autoblog I don't like that rear fender hip thing, it looks odd. So does the C/D-pillar window treatment. Interior looks nice for the segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbone Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 The new Kia design language did not translate well to this smaller class of vehicle. This vehicle is unattractive to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dequindre Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 It's kind of cool looking, but as someone that gets a lot of Fortes and K5s as rentals, the base models are the ones that people will actually see on US roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisgb Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Over the years, Kia has had some uh, innovative side profiles, the K4 continues the tradition.That D-pillar treatment becomes the focal point for me. That burr on the rear doors either need to get ground off or continue to the roof line. If this is a top trim level, the door card screams fleet car. They did a nice job on the EV6, my neighbor has one and it looks better in reality than in photos. Maybe the K4 will be the same. Except for the police cruiser door cards.

Good eye! the drivers side door looks to be a two tone, while the passenger side is plain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I've seen a lot of maverick owners complain about the blue interior, and that's with a relatively restrained and subtle color that goes with most things. I can only imagine what people are saying about this green which doesn't pair anywhere near as well as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
