Kia K4 Hatchback vs Sedan

One of the biggest differences comes down to what happens behind the second row. The K4 sedan offers 14.6 cubic feet of trunk space, giving you plenty of dedicated room for everyday items. Its conventional trunk can be especially convenient when you're carrying groceries, luggage, or smaller cargo that you want to keep separated from the passenger compartment.

The K4 Hatchback offers up to 22.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row, along with the advantage of a large liftgate opening. That extra capacity and easier access can make a difference for drivers who regularly carry bulkier items. Folding the rear seats expands the hatchback's versatility even further when you need to transport something longer or larger.

Think about a typical Saturday. If your K4 is mostly moving people, shopping bags, and a couple of backpacks, the sedan may provide all the cargo space you need. If your weekends involve sports equipment, hobby supplies, luggage, or other gear, the hatchback's larger, more accessible cargo area gives you more ways to arrange everything.

The K4 Hatchback and K4 sedan give you similar choices when it comes to performance, but there is a difference in fuel economy depending on the powertrain you choose. With the standard 2.0L engine, the K4 sedan gets an EPA-estimated 29 city/39 highway MPG, while the K4 Hatchback gets an EPA-estimated 28 city/34 highway MPG.¹ For drivers who spend a lot of time commuting or covering highway miles, the sedan's higher EPA-estimated fuel economy may be an important consideration.

At the same time, drivers who want more power can choose the GT-Line Turbo in either body style. Both use a 1.6L turbocharged engine producing 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
