Frequently Asked Questions

The Kia EV4 electric vehicle offers three range options depending on the trim: 500 km for the standard hatchback, 695 km for the long-range hatchback, and up to 720 km WLTP for the fastback long-range model.
The Kia EV4 comes with two battery choices: a 58.3 kWh pack in the standard hatchback and an 81.4 kWh pack in both the hatchback long-range and the fastback long-range trims.
On a DC fast charger (Level 3), the Kia EV4 charges from 10–80% in about 30–33 minutes. Using a Level 2 AC charger, charging takes around 6 hours for the standard hatchback and up to 8.5 hours for the long-range trims.
All versions of the Kia EV4 are powered by a 150 kW (201 hp) motor producing 283 Nm of torque. The 0–100 km/h acceleration is 7.4 seconds for the standard hatchback and 7.7 seconds for the long-range hatchback and fastback trims.
The Kia EV4 has an electronically limited top speed of 170 km/h across all trim levels.
Pricing for the Kia EV4 starts at CAD 50,000 for the hatchback standard trim, CAD 62,000 for the hatchback long trim, and CAD 69,000 for the fastback long trim.
The Kia EV4 is offered in both hatchback and fastback sedan versions. The hatchback is shorter and more practical for urban use, while the fastback provides better aerodynamics and slightly more range.
Reviewers highlight generous front legroom of 115 cm and rear legroom of 97 cm, with a flat floor for passenger comfort. Cargo space measures 435 L in the hatchback and 490 L in the sedan fastback. The Kia EV4 does not have a front trunk (frunk).
The Kia EV4 includes a triple-screen setup with two 12.3-inch displays and a 5-inch climate control screen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, Google built-in navigation, and a digital key that can pair with multiple devices.
Reviewers note that the Kia EV4 uses a 400V system, which makes charging slower compared to Kia’s 800V EV6 and EV9. The onboard AC charger is limited to 11 kW with no 22 kW option, and the lack of a frunk reduces practicality. Some also found the beige interior and door handle design less appealing.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

The Kia EV4 electric vehicle delivers up to 720 km WLTP (fastback) and 695 km NEDC (hatchback), placing it among the leaders in midsize EV range.
Reviewers highlight excellent front (115 cm) and rear (97 cm) legroom, flat-floor design, and cargo space of 490 L (sedan) or 435 L (hatchback).
With a drag coefficient of 0.23, the Kia EV4 is the most aerodynamic Kia EV, improving highway efficiency and real-world driving range.
Triple-screen dashboard layout, Google built-in navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and advanced driver assistance systems.
The Kia EV4 supports Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), allowing external device charging and potential home energy integration.
Expert reviews mention quiet cabin acoustics, balanced suspension, and supportive seating with heating, ventilation, and memory functions.
Canadian pricing starts at CAD 50,000 for the hatchback and CAD 69,000 for the fastback, making the Kia EV4 a cost-effective alternative to rivals like Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2.

Cons

The Kia EV4 uses a 400V system instead of 800V, leading to slower DC fast charging (~30–33 minutes, 10–80%) compared with some competitors.
Both sedan and hatchback versions lack a frunk, reducing overall storage flexibility.
Unlike some rivals that offer 22 kW onboard chargers, the Kia EV4 is capped at 11 kW, making Level 2 charging slower for some users.
While the Kia EV4’s styling is praised for boldness, some reviewers find the beige interior color scheme and door handle design less appealing.
The hatchback version of the Kia EV4 is not available in North America, narrowing options for buyers in that market.
