1st Generation — 2025 to Present
How the Schedule Has Changed Over Time
2026 — Hatchback Body Added
K4 Hatchback Joins the Sedan on the Same Schedule Maintenance
A hatchback body style joined the K4 sedan a year after launch, sharing its engines, platform, and factory maintenance schedule — see the dedicated K4 Hatchback page.
2025 — New Nameplate
K4 Replaces the Forte With Two Engine Choices New Gen
The K4 replaced the Forte with a larger compact sedan body, offered with a 147-hp 2.0L MPI (IVT) or a 190-hp 1.6L turbo-GDI (8-speed automatic, GT-Line), FWD only. Kia's own owner's-manual tables put routine oil and rotation at 8,000 miles or 12 months (severe service 5,000 miles); cabin air filter alternates inspect/replace on a 12/24-month cadence; brake fluid is inspected at 8,000 miles and replaced at 48,000 miles or 48 months; the 2.0L's spark plugs come due at 96,000 miles; first coolant change isn't needed until 120,000 miles.

K4 Maintenance FAQs
Where's the K4 Schedule for My Year?⌄
Select 2025–2027 — the K4 is a FWD-only compact sedan, so there's no AWD service to plan for.
How Often Does the K4 Need Spark Plugs?⌄
About every 96,000 miles on the 2.0L; the 1.6L turbo GT-Line likely needs them sooner — ask your advisor to confirm for your engine.
