FactKia retired the K3 nameplate from this car, then handed it to an unrelated, smaller subcompact model.
The K4 (model code CL4) is a C-segment compact built by Kia in Monterrey, Mexico since 2024, replacing the Forte/K3/Cerato. It was first shown on 21 March 2024 and fully introduced at the 2024 New York International Auto Show as a four-door saloon and five-door hatchback; a Sportswagon estate followed, unveiled on 13 January 2026. It shares the K3 platform with the Hyundai Elantra (CN7) and is front-wheel drive, with 1.0-litre turbo, 1.6-litre, 1.6-litre turbo and 2.0-litre petrol engines.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
