Kia K4 Will Gain Practical Wagon Body
- In early 2025, Kia was conducting trials of a wagon variant of its K4 compact car near Rüsselsheim, Germany, as part of preparations for the European market.
- This development follows Kia’s strategy to replace the Ceed model in Europe, where wagons remain popular despite declining global interest.
- The K4 wagon measures about 4.7 meters in length, roughly 100mm longer than the Ceed, and is expected to offer modern design and advanced technology.
- Kia will offer the K4 in Europe with four-cylinder turbo engines and likely hybrid options to meet EU emission limits, while a combustion K4 serves North America without a wagon variant.
- If produced, the K4 wagon could fill the European estate market gap left by the retiring Ceed before 2026, although official confirmation and production location remain uncertain.
