The Kia EV4 sedan aims to defy the declining trend of sedans in the EV market by offering a reasonable price, long range, and stylish design.
Unveiled at Kia's 2025 EV Day, the EV4 will be an entry-level model featuring two body types and various battery options.
Based on the E-GMP platform, the EV4 will offer options for either a 58.3 or 81.4kWh battery, delivering 201 hp to the front wheels.
With a low drag coefficient of 0.23cd, the EV4 boasts impressive aerodynamics, providing ranges of up to 391 miles depending on battery choice.
Featuring fast charging capabilities, the EV4 can reach 10-80% charge in 29 to 31 minutes, utilizing a 400-volt electrical architecture.
The interior of the EV4 is spacious and tech-forward, offering two 12.3-inch screens for infotainment and instrument panels, along with a variety of convenience features.
Equipped with advanced ADAS technology, the EV4 prioritizes safety with features like Highway Driving Assist, Forward Collision Avoidance, and Lane Following Assist.
Kia ensures a balance between handling and comfort in the EV4 with a well-tuned suspension setup and SFD3 valves for road adaptability.
Expected to hit the U.S. market in 2026 with a sedan model, the EV4 is projected to have a starting price similar to the EV3, approximately $39,000.
The Kia EV4 combines performance, safety, range, technology, and comfort, making it a promising addition to the EV segment, set to be available in Korea and Europe as well.
