Kia EVs and Plug-in Hybrids in Canada

The EV4 sedan, rated at up to 552 km in its Wind FWD version. Battery and drive matter as much as the model: the EV3 with the 81.4 kWh battery is rated at 517 km with front-wheel drive but 451 km with AWD, and the EV6 drops from 513 km (Wind RWD) to 435 km for the Land AWD with the Premium or GT-Line package. In CAA’s EV Winter Test, the EV9 drove 20% less than its official range and the Niro EV 30% less.

Yes, the EV9, which seats seven, or six with second-row captain’s chairs. Its range runs from 370 km for the Light RWD with the 76.1 kWh battery to 491 km for the Wind RWD with the 99.8 kWh battery, and AWD versions are rated to tow up to 2,268 kg. For a three-row plug-in hybrid, there’s the Sorento PHEV.

A full Level 2 charge takes about 5 to 11 hours depending on model and battery, and the model pages list DC fast-charge sessions from about 20 minutes (EV6) to 43 minutes (Niro EV). Kia Canada says the 2025 EV6 and 2026 EV9 are its first models with a built-in NACS port for Tesla Superchargers, and adapters are offered for earlier EV6, EV9 and Niro EV models. You need the Tesla app to charge there.

Kia Canada covers the powertrain for 5 years or 100,000 km and the high-voltage battery for 8 years or 160,000 km against its capacity falling below 70%. Comprehensive coverage runs 5 years or 100,000 km, and EV system components are covered for 8 years or 150,000 km. Each term ends at whichever limit comes first, except roadside assistance, which runs 5 years with unlimited kilometres.

Many trims can. EVAP pays up to $5,000 on an eligible new EV and $2,500 on a plug-in hybrid in 2026, if the vehicle is made in Canada or a free-trade-agreement country and, unless it’s made in Canada, its final transaction value is $50,000 or less. The EV3, EV4, EV5, EV6 and Niro EV all start under $50,000, but options and dealer fees count toward the cap, so check Transport Canada’s list for your trim and our EV rebates guide for provincial rebates.
