How much does a Kia K4 cost in Lubbock, with fees included?
A new 2026 Kia K4 in Lubbock costs its starting price plus a short list of Texas charges, and the sticker is only the first line. The state sets the sales tax, title and registration, while the dealer’s documentation fee appears on the same quote.
Group 1 Kia Hub City, the only Kia franchise in Lubbock, lets you value a trade, see a payment and get pre-approved online before you arrive. That is how a buyer can see the pieces of the out-the-door number at 19th Street before arriving.

What is the out-the-door price of a new Kia K4 in Lubbock?
A new 2026 Kia K4 in Lubbock costs the manufacturer’s starting price, from $22,290 for the LX to $28,390 for the GT-Line Turbo, plus Texas’s motor vehicle tax, the state’s title and plate fees, and the dealer’s documentation fee. Kia’s published figures set the starting price, and Texas law sets the tax and the state fees on top of it. Group 1 Kia Hub City sells the full K4 line, and its 4.5-star Google rating across 2,127 reviews includes buyers who praise clear pricing.
Texas sales tax is 6.25 percent of the sales price, minus any trade-in allowance (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026). That means a trade-in comes off the price before the tax is figured, so the trade changes the total as well as the monthly payment.
What does each Kia K4 trim cost before fees?
Each K4 trim has its own starting price, and the trim you choose is the first decision that moves the total. These are Kia’s published 2026 starting prices, before Texas tax and fees:
- K4 LX: $22,290
- K4 LXS: $23,390
- K4 EX: $24,490
- K4 GT-Line: $25,490
- K4 GT-Line Turbo: $28,390
- K4 Hatchback EX: $24,990
- K4 Hatchback GT-Line: $25,990
- K4 Hatchback GT-Line Turbo: $28,890
Group 1 Kia Hub City sells both the K4 and the K4 Hatchback, so you can compare the body styles and the trims side by side with us.
Why do Texas dealers charge a documentation fee on a K4?
Texas sets no hard dollar cap on a dealer documentary fee, so the amount on your K4 quote is the dealer’s figure, not a state charge. The state does set a notice rule. Under Texas Finance Code Section 348.006 and the OCCC rule at 7 Texas Administrative Code Section 84.205, a seller charging $225 or less does not have to send the OCCC a notification or cost analysis. A fee above $225 requires both, and the notification must be filed for each licensed location where vehicles are sold. The rule took effect July 11, 2024 (Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner, Motor Vehicle Advisory Bulletin B16-5, Documentary Fee Filing Instructions, 2024).
What do title, registration and sales tax add to a K4 in Texas?
Title and registration are state fees, set by Texas rather than the dealer. According to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles’ fee chart (Fee Chart 1C), effective January 1, 2026, Lubbock’s local fee at registration is $10. The title fee depends on where the buyer lives. According to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles’ Motor Vehicle Title Manual (TxDMV August 2026), citing Transportation Code Section 501.138, the fee is $33 for the counties in the manual’s higher group and $28 for any other county.
How do you read an out-the-door quote on a Kia K4?
An out-the-door quote lists the vehicle price, any dealer-installed items, the documentation fee, the state tax and the state’s title and plate charges on separate lines. The total is those lines added together. Ask for the quote on the exact K4 trim you are weighing, so every line can be compared. Then check each line against the Texas rule that sets it.
One Lubbock buyer described what a clear figure did for the visit. In a July 2026 Google review, Scott H. wrote: “By the end of the visit, I was confident that I was getting a fair deal which had not been my experience with a previous dealership in Dallas.”
How does a trade-in or financing change what you pay for a K4?
A trade-in lowers the amount you finance, and in Texas it also lowers the price the sales tax is figured on, so it changes the total as well as the payment. Our Sell Your Vehicle tool gives a price from a license plate or VIN, which the site calls an instant offer, or from a make and model, which gives only a general estimate. Once you have a trade number, it holds for seven days or up to 250 miles. Our payment calculator accepts that trade-in amount, so you can see the payment before you visit. Financing choices here include Kia leases, new Kia financing and pre-owned car loans.
One buyer described how the trade came out at the end of the deal. In a July 2026 Google review, Brooke R. wrote: “We got a more than fair trade in for our vehicle and got the new exact make, model and color we wanted!”

Frequently asked questions
What MPG does the Kia K4 get?
The 2026 K4 with the 1.6-liter engine is rated 26 city, 33 highway and 28 combined by the EPA. The 2.0-liter versions are rated 29 city, 39 highway and 33 combined. These are EPA certified figures for the 2026 model year.
What warranty comes with a new Kia K4?
According to Kia’s published 2026 warranty for the K4, the basic coverage runs 5 years or 60,000 miles. The powertrain coverage runs 10 years or 100,000 miles, and the corrosion coverage runs 5 years or 100,000 miles.
Does Texas sales tax apply to a trade-in?
Yes, but the tax is figured on the price minus the trade-in allowance, so a trade lowers the taxed amount. The value of your trade stays good for seven days or up to 250 miles.
Can you get pre-approved for a K4 online before visiting?
Yes. The finance page on our site links to an online pre-approval check, so the financing side can start before you drive to 19th Street.
How do you get an itemized out-the-door quote on a K4?
Ask for the quote on the exact trim and body style you want, because the starting price changes by trim. Ask for each line on its own: vehicle price, documentation fee, the state tax, and the title and plate fees.
