The Kia K4 sedan has been recognised as a winner of the 2025 Wards 10 Best Interiors & UX award, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to design quality and user-focused technology.

The award, presented by industry publication Wards, highlighted excellence in interior design and user experience (UX) technology.

The competition evaluated new or significantly redesigned vehicles across multiple criteria, including aesthetics, comfort, materials, fit and finish, infotainment, connectivity, and driver assistance systems.

The 2025 judging panel assessed 34 vehicles in total.

Steven Center, chief operating officer and executive vice president at Kia America, said: “We are honoured the editors at Wards have recognised the attention to detail we put into elevating the experience inside the K4’s cabin.

“Our designers worked hard to craft and develop a pleasant space and we’re proud this concept is resonating with Wards’ experts.”

Judges praised the K4’s interior for its contemporary design language and value-driven features, noting that strong tech performance and design no longer need to be confined to luxury or high-cost vehicles.

The K4’s black and white cabin styling, advanced graphics, generous passenger space, and nearly 30 inches of combined digital displays were all cited as standout attributes.

Christie Schweinsberg, programme manager and judge for the Wards 10 Best Interiors & UX awards, said: “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.”

Judges also commended the K4’s ergonomic control layout, simple phone pairing, over-the-air update capability, and user-friendly digital interface – all contributing to what they described as a class-leading interior experience in the compact sedan segment.

The recognition followed a series of product accolades for Kia, reflecting the brand’s growing reputation for delivering premium features and quality across its vehicle range.
