The third-cheapest of the K4's five trims in our data. 2026 sedan published ; 2027 announced separately. Excludes $1,245 . The EX starts at $24,490. On price, it sits between the LXS ($23,390) and the GT-Line ($25,490).

Our K4 data has all five US 2026 K4 sedan , standard 16–18-inch wheels, GT-Line Sunroof and GT-Line Premium Package, Technology and red interior , and power flow. It doesn't have the separate K4 Hatchback, Forte, announced 2027 model-year changes, paint choices, paint/interior pairing rules and port/dealer yet, so something missing from this page may still be offered.

About these comparisons

Each illustration and link uses the build behind its number. Comparisons cover the model years and bodies in our guides. Different rows can use different trims and equipment. Missing values aren’t treated as zero; reported prices and inferred ratings aren’t ranked.

  • Highest published output found in each guide. This compares available power, not acceleration or the trim you selected.
  • Best published combined rating found in each guide, including regular hybrids. Plug-in ratings and inferred matches are excluded.
