2025 Kia K4 earns 2025 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ award

The 2025 Kia K4 has been awarded the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) highest safety rating, the 2025 TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) designation. This rating applies to K4 models built after January 2025 and reflects the K4’s strong performance in IIHS’s most rigorous testing to date, which now includes enhanced standards for rear-seat occupant protection.

“The K4 is a standout example of how Kia continues to raise the bar in delivering sedans that combine performance, technology, and safety,” said Steven Center, COO and EVP, Kia America. “It’s not enough to just offer great features. Our customers also expect peace of mind and the K4’s TSP+ rating shows it delivers on every front, making it an all-around smart choice in the compact segment.”

To qualify for 2025 Top Safety Pick+, a vehicle must earn good ratings in the small overlap front, updated moderate overlap front and updated side tests. It also must earn an acceptable or good rating for pedestrian front crash prevention and come with standard acceptable- or good-rated headlights across all trim levels.

With bold fastback styling and advanced connectivity, the K4 stands out as a confident and compelling choice. It boasts a premium, feature-rich interior highlighted by an available total combined nearly 30 inches of digital displays¹, 11 standard ADAS² features, and available upgrades like a Harman Kardon³ audio system, heated⁴ and ventilated front seats, and Digital Key 2.0⁵ with Ultra-Wideband. Drivers can choose between two dynamic powertrains and enjoy up to 29 available ADAS¹ features, including 360° Surround View Monitor⁶.
