The K4 Sport occupies the second rung on the K4 Hatch ladder, sitting above the entry-level S, and listing at $36,690. It gets the 'Integrated Panoramic Display' (Kia’s two 12.3-inch screens joined by a 5.0-inch climate monitor) as standard, along with the added safety stuff included in the S level’s 'Safety Pack' and dual-zone climate control. It also rides on 17-inch alloys.
Like the rest of the K4 range (save the GT-Line, which gets a bespoke engine), the Sport is powered by a new and more efficient 2.0-litre engine with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that drops power slightly, and fuel use more significantly. The new engine and transmission combination makes 110kW and 180Nm, compared to 112kW and 192Nm, with fuel use falling from 7.4L/100km to a more frugal six litres flat.
The K4 Hatch is slightly shorter and slightly lower than the Cerato that it effectively replaces, but there is some clever interior packaging, so much so in fact that Kia says you get more legroom and headroom in both the front row and the second row than you did in the old Cerato, but marginally less shoulder room in the back seat.
What does that mean in real terms? It means I think you'd actually get away with this as a family car, at least in terms of passenger space.
