In the beautiful and sunny paradise of Santa Monica, we were welcomed by a continental breakfast alongside a modern and sleek compact sedan, overlooking the beach. As I devoured a parfait, The all-new “Morning Haze” painted Kia K4 glimmered amidst the sand and ocean.
Excited to drive one from Santa Monica to Laguna Beach, work felt a little more like an unintended vacation. A little escape from the constant calls, meetings, and paperwork, we were greeted with coastal views, a delectable lunch, and engaging dialogue on automotive. Here are snapshots of a little date with the new Kia K4.
