Beyond simply introducing a new model for 2025, Kia has engineered a sedan that has also achieved top safety ratings. The all-new 2025 Kia K4 has earned the prestigious Top Safety Pick (TSP) award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
While the Kia K4 was recognized for its overall safety technology, it received special commendation for its robust occupant protection features. As the fourth generation of Kia’s compact sedans, the K4 comes equipped with a suite of safety technologies known as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). This latest addition to Kia’s lineup exemplifies the brand’s commitment to prioritizing safety.
IIHS Safety Test Rating Criteria
To earn a Top Safety Pick rating, vehicles must meet stringent IIHS standards. This includes securing "Good" ratings in various crash tests, such as moderate and small overlap front crash evaluations, as well as side-impact assessments. Additionally, vehicles must earn at least an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating for pedestrian front crash prevention and the feature headlights must earn an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating from the IIHS. The 2025 Kia K4 excelled in these areas, earning an "Acceptable" headlight rating alongside top "Good" ratings in front and side crash protection, as well as pedestrian crash avoidance.
2025 Kia K4 Safety Features
To qualify for a top safety award, the Kia K4 is equipped with an array of advanced safety technologies. These include a rearview camera to aid in avoiding obstacles while reversing, blind-spot monitoring to alert drivers of vehicles in adjacent lanes, lane departure warning to help maintain proper lane positioning, an anti-theft alarm system, and a tire pressure monitoring system that notifies drivers of overinflated or underinflated tires. Additionally, the K4 features vehicle stability control and a collision mitigation system with pre-collision avoidance and post-collision response technology.
Beyond its standard safety features, select K4 models offer enhanced technology, such as integrated navigation, voice activation, and Highway Driving Assist, which incorporates adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. The GT-Line Turbo trim further enhances safety with upgraded headlights for improved visibility and an enhanced exterior safety profile.
