2025 is an exciting year to visit a Kia dealer if you\u2019re on the hunt for a new vehicle. There\u2019s a new model joining the lineup, and several Kia’s that you\u2019ll recognize are getting some updates. Want to see what\u2019s new? Take a look at a quick overview.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The All-New Kia K4<\/h3>\n

The K4 is a new name you\u2019ll see when you take a stroll around a Kia dealer<\/a><\/strong>. It\u2019s replacing the discontinued Kia Forte in the lineup. The new sedan has a sleek look with a fastback roofline that might remind you of the Stinger sports sedan. It will get power from the same 147-horsepower four-cylinder that was under the hood of the Forte, but the GT-Line Turbo trim will get a four-cylinder turbo engine with 190 horsepower.<\/p>\n

The K4 is a little larger than the Forte giving the rear seat passengers some extra legroom. You can also expect to see a tech-filled cabin complete with two 12.3-inch display screens, one of which will be the touch screen for the infotainment system. A third 5-inch display will sit right between the two larger ones with controls for the climate.<\/p>\n

An Updated K5<\/h3>\n

With other Kia models updating their tech, it\u2019s not a surprise that the K5<\/a> <\/strong>also has some updates. The dashboard now sports two larger displays. A 12.3-inch touchscreen sits in the middle of the dashboard housing the infotainment system and another 12-inch screen sits in front of the driver.<\/p>\n

The Kia Carnival Goes Hybrid<\/h3>\n

When the Kia Carnival<\/a><\/strong> hits the Kia dealer lot in 2025 it will have a hybrid powertrain available. This minivan gets even better with the latest updates that also include new LED taillights, a redesigned front end to give it a more aggressive look, and LED running lights. Inside, the rear seat passengers will get some added tech by way of the Connected Car Rear Cockpit entertainment system that includes 14.6-inch HD screens.<\/p>\n

The Kia EV6 Gets an Update<\/h3>\n

Kias first EV has been around for a few years now, so it\u2019s time for an update. The EV6 has new headlights for 2025, along with new wheels for the entry-level trim. Inside, the steering wheel has an updated look, but what even more fun is the fingerprint authentication system and the 12-inch head-up display.<\/p>\n

As far as performance goes, the 77.4-kilowatt-hour battery pack is replaced with an 84-kilowatt-hour pack to help improve charging times and increase range on some of the trim levels.<\/p>\n

The Sorento Hybrids Get an Update<\/h3>\n

The hybrid version of the Sorento has some changes for 2025. The gas-powered models received a refresh in 2024, so now it\u2019s the hybrid\u2019s turn. They will have new LED running lights, and an updated exterior look.<\/p>\n

Inside, the higher-end Sorento models will get the two 12.3-inch screens, and depending on which trim you choose it will come with a wireless charging pad and a 12-speaker Bose stereo system.<\/p>\n
