In the US, you can find the Light, Wind, and GT-Line models. In Europe, the same car is offered as Air, Earth, and GT-Line.

Interior Comfort and Tech - Setting new standards

The Kia EV4 features a contemporary cabin having a sliding table, ambient lighting, and a dedicated Rest Mode. The ultra-slim layout of the front seatbacks enhances legroom for passengers in the second row. 

The HVAC system has a unified touchscreen interface, ultra-slim air vents, and a slim-profile design that cuts down the structural volume by 33 per cent. Especially for the EV4, Kia has unveiled a cutting-edge infotainment system that provides excellent entertainment, connectivity, and convenience. 

The EV4 is equipped with a 6-speaker audio system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and an optional 8-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system. Other key convenience elements inside include Advanced speech recognition, Digital Key 2.0, over-the-air updates, Features-on-Demand and many more.

Powertrain and Performance

Hyundai Motor Group's dependable, specialised Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) serves as the foundation for the EV4. The EV4's sophisticated 400-volt architecture all perfectly balances strong performance, a very efficient range, and quick charging periods.

The EV4 sedan and hatchback come with two different drivetrain options. The Long Range variant has an 81.4 kWh battery, whilst the Standard model has a 58.3 kWh battery. For quick, seamless acceleration, both are coupled with a 150kW front-wheel drive motor that produces 283 Nm of max torque.

Additionally, it comes with the brand's first-in-class i-Pedal 3.0 regenerative braking system. This technology allows drivers even more flexibility to modify the car's regenerative braking strength and experience intuitive one-pedal driving. 

Kia's second-generation Integrated Electric Booster (IEB) handles braking, and for extra convenience, an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) is included on all trim levels.

The EV4's usefulness and adaptability assist occupants both inside and outside the vehicle, whether it's keeping vital household appliances powered during a power outage or powering electronic appliances while camping in the open.
