Has KIA just created a true Skoda Octavia rival? In this video, I will show you the all-new KIA K4 Estate (Wagon) – the direct successor to the popular Ceed Estate and the stylish Proceed.
Here is what you will find in this test:
The Growth Spurt: I’ll show you how much bigger the K4 is in every dimension compared to its predecessors.
The Aggressive Styling: We’ll take a look at the incredibly bold, wide front fascia.
The Rear Seat Surprise: I will test the generous amount of legroom for rear-seat passengers.
The GT-Line Performance: I’m pushing the top-tier, 180-hp 1.6 T-GDI engine with a 7-speed DCT transmission to its limits.
The Boot Mystery: I will reveal my own real-world dimensions of the boot – spoiler alert: it doesn't look like 604 liters!
The Hidden Fix: I will share a brilliant tip from a viewer on how to finally turn off those annoying safety system speed alerts that have been driving me crazy for two years.
Is the attractively priced KIA K4 Estate the best choice in its class today? Let's find out!
