The all-new Kia EV4 marks the next step in Kia’s electric journey — a stylish, driver-focused hatchback that blends innovation, safety, and dynamic performance with European-tuned handling. It’s the first Kia EV built in Europe, symbolising the brand’s commitment to creating electric mobility that’s efficient, practical, and ready for real-world roads.

Built on Kia’s Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), the EV4 offers an impressive range of up to 391 miles, rapid charging capability, and a choice of two distinctive bodystyles: the EV4 Hatchback and the EV4 Fastback.

The EV4 embodies Kia’s bold ‘Opposites United’ design philosophy, combining futuristic lines with aerodynamic precision.

• EV4 Hatchback – Sporty and confident, with sloping rear glass, wide taillights, and Kia’s new vertical “EV Tiger Face” design.

• EV4 Fastback – Sleek and elegant, with a long-tail silhouette and minimal rear styling for maximum aerodynamic efficiency.

Both versions are built for everyday practicality too, offering up to 435 litres of boot space in the Hatchback and 490 litres in the Fastback — perfect for families or long-distance commuters.

Engineered on Kia’s dedicated E-GMP platform, the EV4 delivers class-leading efficiency and smooth, responsive performance.

Two battery options:

• 81.4kWh Long Range – up to 391 miles (WLTP), 10–80% charge in 31 minutes

• 58.3kWh Standard Range – up to 380 miles (WLTP), 10–80% charge in 29 minutes

Both versions feature a 150kW (201bhp) front-mounted motor producing 283Nm of torque, achieving 0–62mph in 7.4–7.7 seconds and a top speed of 105mph.

Thanks to its low drag coefficient (0.27Cd for the Hatchback, 0.23Cd for the Fastback), the EV4 combines range and performance in a refined, quiet drive.

Developed and tested by engineers at Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Centre in Germany, the EV4’s chassis has been tuned specifically for European roads.

Key highlights include:

• MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear setup

• Frequency-responsive dampers for smooth ride control

• Hydro-G suspension bushings to reduce noise and vibration

The result is a car that feels stable and planted in corners while maintaining comfort for longer journeys — perfectly suited to winding country roads and high-speed motorways alike.

Production of the EV4 Hatchback takes place at Kia’s Žilina plant in Slovakia, the company’s first European facility dedicated to EV production. The Fastback version is built in Gwangmyeong, Korea, with both models sharing the same motor and battery systems.

This European focus ensures the EV4 meets the needs of local drivers — from handling and comfort to quality and sustainability.

“Producing the EV4 locally strengthens our position in one of the world’s most competitive EV markets,” says Marc Hedrich, President & CEO of Kia Europe.

The EV4 uses Kia’s fourth-generation battery with advanced cooling and thermal management for consistent performance. Rigorous testing included:

• 110,000 km endurance simulation on public roads

• 10,000 km Nürburgring test at up to 95% output with repeated fast charges

Even after extreme testing, the EV4’s battery retained 95% of its original health, demonstrating long-term durability and efficiency.

Safety is a core focus of the EV4’s design. Every model includes Kia’s latest Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), featuring:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (detects vehicles, pedestrians & cyclists)

• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist and Lane Keeping Assist

• Highway Driving Assist and Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control

• Remote Smart Parking Assist for effortless parking

• Multi-load path structure around the battery and reinforced side panels for enhanced crash protection

The Kia App brings a seamless digital experience to EV4 ownership. It allows you to:

• Check your vehicle’s status and battery remotely

• Plan charging routes and monitor live sessions

• Access over 1,000,000 public charge points across Europe

• Receive over-the-air (OTA) updates for new features, including AI-powered assistance, entertainment streaming (Netflix, Disney+, YouTube), and navigation enhancements

With Digital Key 2, you can even unlock and start your EV4 using a smartphone or smartwatch — and securely share access with friends or family.

With its European-tuned handling, cutting-edge safety systems, long-range performance, and connected technology, the Kia EV4 sets a new standard for next-generation electric mobility.

Built for European roads, designed for modern life, and ready for the future — the EV4 is more than a car. It’s Kia’s vision of where electric driving is headed.
