Among the dozens of foreign automakers eager to showcase their wares to the Chinese market, <a href="https://www.autoblog.com/kia/">Kia</a> arrived at the <a href="https://www.autoblog.com/beijing-motor-show/">Beijing Motor Show</a> with the new K4. Though technically categorized as a "concept," the K4 previews a sedan which Kia intends to launch in China later this year.<br />
<br />
The K4 is a midsize sedan measuring 186 inches long and riding on a 106-inch wheelbase that makes it bigger than the <a href="https://www.autoblog.com/kia/forte/">Forte</a> (sold in the Far East as the K3) and just a few inches shorter than the <a href="https://www.autoblog.com/kia/optima/">Optima</a> (aka K5). The form is draped in familiar Kia-style bodywork, with a high trunk and low nose to give it a wedge shape and a familiar if somewhat new take on the headlights and grille seen on other new models from the Korean automaker.<br />
<br />
Power comes from a 1.6-liter turbo four (smaller than the engines available in the Optima/K5) mated to a seven-speed DCT. Kia has also fitted the K4 concept with push-button ignition, UVO infotainment system, rear-view camera, six airbags and stability management. In short, everything you'd expect from the latest product of a global automaker.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately Kia hasn't released much more <a href="/2014/04/21/kia-k4-sedan-concept-china-beijing-official/#continued">information</a> than that (or more than two photos, for that matter), but the K4 isn't a product destined for our shores anyway.<p><a href="https://www.autoblog.com/2014/04/21/kia-k4-sedan-concept-china-beijing-official/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Kia unveils K4 sedan concept in China</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="https://www.autoblog.com/2014/04/21/kia-k4-sedan-concept-china-beijing-official/">Kia unveils K4 sedan concept in China</a> originally appeared on <a href="https://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Mon, 21 Apr 2014 08:29:00 EST.
