Making its debut in 2025, this small sedan is available in five trim levels, each offering varying levels of luxury. 1. LX First up is the LX, a five-seater K4 powered by a 147-horsepower 2.0-liter engine. Kia's base trim is a smart-looking sedan with a black grille, 16-inch steel wheels, automatic multi-reflector headlamps, and amber LED daytime running lamps.

Your Kia service center is the place to go to ensure your vehicle gets the expert care and attention it deserves. Our Kia-trained technicians, advanced technology, and Kia-approved replacement parts ensure your Kia continues to perform at its best. We want to tell you about some of the types of maintenance we provide. Brake Pad Replacement The brake pads are a vital part of your braking system. They fit into the brake calipers and have a rough material covering that generates friction against the rotors when you apply the brakes. This friction slows and stops the wheels. As time passes, the material coverings wear down, and once they drop to 1/4" thick, the pads need replacement. The brake pad wear indicator light on your dashboard will illuminate when one or more pads need to be changed. Thin pads reduce braking responsiveness, so it takes longer to stop when you need to. We recommend replacing all four pads, even if only one or two are worn, as this ensures all four wheels stop simultaneously. more Oil Replacement Your Kia uses fully synthetic oil, which can withstand greater heat and works more efficiently than regular engine oil. In addition, synthetic oil lasts longer, so an oil change is only required every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. The oil provides essential lubrication, so engine components can work faster and more efficiently while protecting them against friction damage. Older oil becomes slower and less efficient, leading to increased wear and tear on engine components. Its additives also decay, increasing the chances of engine blockages or rust. Our technicians will drain the old oil and install a new oil filter, so the oil flows freely. Once we've sealed the sump, we refill your engine with fresh oil. Tire Rotations Your tires suffer continued friction as you drive, causing the tread to slowly wear down. In addition, tires develop particular wear patterns depending on their position on your vehicle. These wear patterns are generated because of weight distribution and wheel alignment. Surface friction damage can't be prevented, but rotating your tires reduces the avoidable damage caused by a tire remaining in the same position. Our technicians remove your tires and shift them to different positions. The exact positions the tires move to depend on whether you have FWD, RWD, or AWD, as each type of drivetrain increases wear on specific tread areas. Regular tire rotations help to equalize wear and tear, extending tire life and reducing the chance of a leak or blowout. These are just a few of the many services we provide to keep your Kia in great shape. Book your next service today by contacting us at DARCARS Kia of Lanham in Lanham, MD.
