The Kia EV4 is the brand’s first all-electric C-segment hatchback, engineered on the dedicated Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) to deliver class-leading performance and efficiency. Produced in Žilina (Slovakia), the long-range version is powered by an 81.4kWh battery that charges from 10-to-80% in 31 minutes and delivers up to 391 miles of range (WLTP) on a single charge. Customers can opt for a 58.3kWh standard battery, which charges from 10-to-80% in just 29 minutes. Both battery options power a front-mounted 150kW motor, allowing the EV4 to accelerate from 0-62mph in as little as 7.7 seconds (7.4 seconds for the standard battery) and reach a top speed of 105mph. Finally, an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.27Cd on the hatchback maximises aerodynamic efficiency. The fastback features an even lower drag coefficient of just 0.23Cd. With up to 435 litres of luggage space, a stable ride, and segment-leading range, the EV4 is versatile for both city and long-distance journeys. The EV4 Hatchback is joined by the EV4 Fastback, produced at Kia’s Gwangmyeong EVO Plant in Korea. This model features the same two batteries and motor as the hatchback, providing a maximum range of up to 380 miles (WLTP). The Fastback also has a luggage capacity of 490 litres. Both variants feature Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability for powering external devices and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology for energy sharing.
