The all-new 2025 Kia K4 has just been awarded the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) highest honor—the TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation. This prestigious rating applies to K4 models built after January 2025 and reflects outstanding performance in the most rigorous crash tests to date, including enhanced evaluations for rear-seat occupant protection.

To earn the 2025 TOP SAFETY PICK+ title, vehicles must receive:

  • Good ratings in the small overlap front, updated moderate overlap front, and updated side crash tests
  • Acceptable or good ratings in pedestrian front crash prevention
  • Acceptable or good headlights across all trim levels

But the K4 isn’t just about safety. With its sleek fastback styling, premium interior, and cutting-edge technology, the K4 makes a bold statement on the road. Drivers will enjoy:

  • Nearly 30 inches of available digital displays
  • 11 standard advanced driver-assist features (ADAS), with up to 29 available safety technologies
  • Optional 360° Surround View Monitor
  • Available Harman Kardon® premium audio system
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
