The Kia K4 sedan is 4.72 meters long, with a wheelbase of 2.7 meters, which is specially designed to allow increase space at the back seats.
The model is oriented towards young families and has a starting price of 140,000 yuan ($22,500) and reaching 180,000 ($29,000).
Under the hood, the Kia K4 sedan is coming with two gasoline units, meaning a 1.8-liter delivering 146 horsepower and 175 Nm of torque.
The other 2.0-liter unit develops 162 horsepower and 194 Nm of torque, with the carmaker also planning a 1.6-liter with 175 horsepower unit.
