The Kia K4 sedan has been honored as a winner in the 2025 Wards 10 Best Interiors & UX awards. This annual competition recognizes new or significantly redesigned vehicles that excel in interior design and user experience. Vehicles are judged on a range of criteria, including aesthetics, comfort, quality of materials, craftsmanship, connectivity, infotainment systems, interface design, driver-assistance technologies, and overall value. For the 2025 edition, a total of 34 vehicles were evaluated.
“We are honored the editors at Wards have recognized the attention to detail we put into elevating the experience inside the K4’s cabin,” said Steven Center, COO & EVP, Kia America. “Our designers worked hard to craft and develop a pleasant space and we’re proud this concept is resonating with Wards’ experts.”
“At a time when the average price of a new vehicle in the U.S. is on the rise, our Kia K4 test car shows that well-performing technology and a strong interior design language are not the sole domain of higher priced mass-market or luxury vehicles. The K4’s available stylish black and white cabin and its advanced graphics and tech features, plus its plentiful passenger and cargo room, earned it high marks from our judges and put it firmly on our 2025 winners’ list,” said Wards 10 Best Interiors & UX program manager and judge, Christie Schweinsberg.
Wards 10 Best Interior & UX judges commended the K4 for a cabin design and layout that elevates the standard for what to expect in a compact sedan. Judges highlighted the K4’s ergonomic and user-friendly controls and features, including an available total combined nearly 30 inches of digital instrumentation. Its advanced connectivity and OTA capabilities further enrich the driving experience. Beautiful display screens, easy phone pairing, and impressive cabin space for the class all contributed to the vehicle’s winning position.
