KIA has whipped the silk plate of its latest EV4 model ahead of an upcoming EV -Day later this month, when the Korean company will make its plans for this, its PV5 wagon and a sneak peek at the concept version of EV2 -planned To be the smallest and most affordable EV in the current line-up.
Although it was a preview of more than a year ago now, it seems that the production -ready EV4 has remained true to the original concept, and the slot’s nicely into the ever -growing range of electric vehicles debuted at Marque’s initial EV -Day back in 2023.
A play on Kias ‘Tiger Face’ Frontend, which can be seen in the revised EV6 and the latest EV3, while the sharp and characteristic lines of the whole family can be seen on the sides and especially at the back of the elongated salon model.
However, it is predicted that the salon or fastback will be made available to global markets, including the United States, while the hatchback is predominantly for the British and European markets.
Specification is still under wrapping, but we know it will run on the same E-GMP platform as everything else in KIA EV rank, so it will probably be offered with a 58 kWh or 81kWh battery.
That said, there is no word about the charging speeds as EV6 and EV9 are able to pull power of 350 kW thanks to 800V architecture, but the recent EV3 and EV5 (will be coming to the UK soon) administers 128 kW thanks to 400V architecture.
Inside, we can expect to see EV4 for the same kind of minimalist approach as EV3, focusing on comfort, spaciousness and plenty of room for the latest screen technology.
