Digital Displays Built for Navigation Clarity
The K4's dual 12.3-inch TFT screens work together to form a panoramic command centre. One screen handles driving information—speed, safety alerts, and driver assistance status—while the other manages navigation, media, and climate control. A dedicated 5-inch climate screen sits between them, providing quick access to temperature adjustments without digging through menus.
For drivers navigating Montreal's complex highway interchanges, this layout keeps critical information visible at all times. Clear route guidance on the centre display means fewer missed exits. Real-time traffic updates help you avoid congestion before it costs you time.
Hands-Free Connectivity for Quebec Commuters
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard across all K4 trims. Connect your smartphone without cables, access navigation apps like Waze or Google Maps, and make hands-free calls through the vehicle's audio system. Voice commands handle music selection, message dictation, and route changes—all while your hands stay on the wheel.
Available Digital Key 2.0 takes convenience further. Use your compatible smartphone to lock, unlock, and start the K4. Share digital keys with family members remotely. Passive entry lets you unlock the vehicle as you approach, no need to fumble for a key fob in your pocket or purse.
Highway Driving Assist 2 for Autoroute 15 and 440
Available on GT-Line Turbo trims, Highway Driving Assist 2 provides hands-on support during highway driving. The system uses sensors and cameras to maintain a set distance from the vehicle ahead, adjust speed based on traffic flow, and keep the K4 centred within its lane.
On Autoroute 15 heading toward Montreal or Autoroute 440 through Laval, HDA 2 reduces the constant adjustments required in heavy traffic. The system handles acceleration and braking in stop-and-go conditions, while you remain ready to take control at any moment. It's not autonomous driving—it's active assistance that lightens the cognitive load during long commutes.
11 Standard ADAS Features for Daily Driving in Quebec
Every 2026 K4 includes a robust suite of standard safety and driver assistance technologies:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist: Detects vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists ahead; applies brakes if a collision risk is detected.
- Lane Keeping Assist: Provides steering corrections to help you stay centred in your lane.
- Lane Following Assist: Works with Smart Cruise Control to maintain lane position on highways.
- Driver Attention Warning: Monitors steering patterns and alerts you if signs of drowsiness are detected.
These systems work together to create multiple layers of awareness. In heavy urban traffic or during highway merges, they provide warnings and interventions that help prevent accidents before they happen.
Enhanced Visibility for Safer Maneuvering
Available visibility features address blind spots and tight parking scenarios common in Laval and Montreal:
- Surround View Monitor: Displays a 360-degree view of the K4's surroundings, useful when parking in crowded lots or navigating narrow urban streets.
- Blind-Spot View Monitor: Projects a live camera feed of your blind spot in the instrument cluster when you activate your turn signal, giving you a clear view before changing lanes on busy highways.
These tools reduce guesswork and expand your field of vision, making it easier to navigate Quebec's dense traffic safely.
Which K4 Trim is Right for Your Commute?
If you spend most of your time on Autoroute 15 or frequently commute between Laval and Montreal, the GT-Line Turbo delivers the most comprehensive tech package. You'll gain Highway Driving Assist 2, the Surround View Monitor, Blind-Spot View Monitor, and the turbocharged 1.6-litre engine with 190 horsepower for confident merging.
For drivers who prioritize core connectivity and standard safety features, the base LX and EX trims still include wireless smartphone integration, dual digital displays, and the full suite of 11 ADAS features.
