Kia EV4

Overview

The EV4 is offered in the UK as a five-door hatchback and a four-door fastback. Hatchback trims run from Air and Motion through GT-Line and GT-Line S to GT, while the fastback is listed in GT-Line and GT-Line S. The page describes its technical figures as expected targets that may change.

Range and charging

Kia quotes up to 388 miles on the WLTP cycle for the long range Air with an 81.4 kWh battery, though the page also refers to a choice of two battery sizes. For fast charging it states that maximum speed needs a 400V charger delivering at least 128 kW. No 10 to 80 percent time is given on the page.

Driver assistance and software

The driver assistance list includes Highway Driving Assist 2.0 with hands-on detection, Smart Cruise Control 2, Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2.0 with junction turning, Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist and Remote Smart Park Assist.

Over-the-air updates cover maps and infotainment software. They are free during an initial trial period on cars with OTA-enabled navigation and paid afterwards, and optional Kia Upgrades are sold separately. The Kia App combines Kia Connect and Kia Charge, with digital keys, route planning and remote control. Digital Key 2.0 can be shared with up to seven other drivers. Kia Connect services are free for seven years from first sale.

Price and cover

The starting price is 30,995 pounds for the hatchback Air, and the page says the Air and Motion prices include the Electric Car Grant saving. The manufacturer warranty is seven years or 100,000 miles. The battery warranty text on the page is inconsistent, so it is not given here.
