AllNew 2025 Kia K4 Earns 2024 IIHS Top Safety Pick Award

  • New compact sedan adds to its list of attributes by being recognized for occupant protection

The all-new 2025 Kia K4 compact sedan has been awarded the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety’s 2024 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK (TSP) Award (applies to vehicles built before November 2024).

To qualify for the 2024 IIHS TSP Award, vehicles need “good” ratings in the small overlap front, original moderate overlap front, and updated side tests, an “acceptable” or “good” rating in the pedestrian front crash prevention evaluation, and “acceptable-” or “good-” rated headlights across all trim levels. The K4 earned top-level “good” ratings in the small overlap front, original moderate overlap front, updated side, and pedestrian front crash prevention tests, and received an “acceptable” rating for headlights.

“IIHS’s work to enhance vehicle occupant protection is incredibly important and Kia is supportive of the agency’s rigorously high standards,” said Steve Center, COO and EVP, Kia America. “At Kia, we strive for continuous advancement in this area, and the all-new K4 compact sedan is just the latest example of this ongoing effort. Earning a 2024 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK Award for this outstanding vehicle is yet another reason why we believe the K4 will appeal to anyone shopping for a compact sedan.” 

As Kia’s fourth-generation compact sedan, the K4 is a powerhouse of standard, segment-above technology, and it delivers an array of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)1, refinement, and class-leading rear leg room.2 An available turbocharged engine amps up the fun-to-drive quotient and standard multi-link rear suspension on the GT-Line (2.0 and 1.6 turbo) offers a responsive driving experience.
