Car and Driver expects no significant changes to the K4 for 2027. MSRP runs $23,635-$30,235 across sedan and hatchback body styles. Two engines are offered, but no hybrid. The turbo has extra verve, yet the K4 isn't as sporty as the Honda Civic or the Mazda 3. It's attractively priced, though, with a lot of upscale features for the money.
