The 2026 Kia K4 Hatchback ditches the fastback silhouette of the sedan in favor of a truncated rear end and taller roofline.

Overall, the K4 Hatchback is about 11-inches shorter than the sedan, but it retains the same rear legroom. Headroom on the second row increases by about an inch.

The "hidden" rear door handles are tucked into the corner of the window, giving the hatch a cleaner look.

The big advantage of choosing the Hatchback is the 22.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, nearly double that of the Sedan. Capacity expands to 59.3 cubes when those seats fold flat.

The 2026 Kia K4 Hatchback hits the road later this year powered by either a 2.0-liter combustion motor or a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine.
