Review and specifications

2026 Kia EV4

Kia’s latest electric offering is the EV4 compact sedan. That's right, while most automakers are churning out SUVs galore, Kia appears committed to giving buyers reasonably-priced car alternatives. The base Light trim will use a 58.3-kWh battery while the Wind and GT-Line will make use of an 81.4-kWh long-range version. All trims will have a 201-hp electric motor and front-wheel drive. Kia is estimating the Light will be good for about 235 miles of driving range, while the long-range battery should result in about 330 miles. The interior layout appears to mimic the EV9 SUV, with dual 12.3-inch display screens, a 5-inch climate screen, and a column-mounted, twist-action gear selector. Kia’s Highway Driving Assist active driving assistance system will come standard. The K4's US launch has been delayed indefinitely.
