Kia Australia has confirmed pricing for the expanded Model Year 2026 K4 range, which now includes a Hatchback variant alongside the existing Sedan. The new body style will arrive in dealerships later this month.

The Hatchback mirrors the Sedan line-up, offered in S, Sport, Sport+ and GT-Line grades, with the S also available with a Safety Pack option.

Kia says both body styles receive updated powertrains for MY26.

The new 2.0-litre MPI Atkinson-cycle engine paired with a CVT replaces the previous 6-speed torque converter automatic in the S, Sport and Sport+ grades.

This engine–transmission package is shared with the Kia Seltos, offering lower outputs than before but improved fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions.

The GT-Line continues with the 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine and eight-speed automatic transmission. Kia has not announced any Hybrid option for the K4 in Australia at this stage.

Pricing for the MY26 K4 starts at $32,090 for the S Hatch and S Sedan, rising to $43,790 for the GT-Line. Detailed specifications will be released closer to the model’s arrival.
