It seems like Every new e This debut these days is the SUV – the nature of battery technology (and US car preferences) are almost looking for it. So, it's refreshing to see Kia starting the New York car show in 2025 this week with the debut of a sharp stylized, new Kia EV4 electric sedan of 2026 and the combustion K4 hatchback that squeezes a very tool in smaller packages. Placed on the input point of the KIA composition, these slightly smaller cars will be set as more acceptable options when they arrive next year, which is a big deal that thinks How much does the expensive most things seem.
I am the most interested and excited about EV4 and I think you will be you. EV4 makes its debut in North America, playing fast and loosely with what I think as a traditional “sedan silhouette”. EV4 leads with details and proportions reduced by Kia is 6One of my favorite EVS in its class, but the transition to the shape sharply of the rear doors in a stunningly fast return-to-Cia to copy the back of his K4 sedan to EV.
From some angles, the overall look is unpleasant and slightly separated. However, I love it when car designers wonder, and the overall look of the sedan begins to grow on me.
Up to 330 miles range
Under the metal and glossy black plastic betting, you will find the Hyundai Motor group Electrical Global Modular Platformthat also supports almost all dedicated models of HMG, from Ioniq 5 to EV9. The EV4 will arrive in early 2026, powered by a single electric motor of 150 kW (201-Konjan forces) on the front axle and will be offered with two 400 volt battery options. The EV4 basic light has a 58.3-kilowatt package that is expected to deliver up to 235 miles on charges. Upgrading the EV4 wind or top spectrum EV4 GT-line steps to an 81.4 kWh unit promising to 330 miles in the Kia-approval for (probably) lighter wind.
Drivers will be able to quickly collect their EV4 from 10% to 80% charged in 29 to 31 minutes (depending on which battery they have) through the built -in car North American filling system port. The EV4 charging port has been moved to the front of the passenger, for which the car manufacturer considers it to be a more convenient filling set when parking the nose at Tesla Super-fill stations. Personally, I prefer the position of the back corner of the other EV at the HMG, but I am also one of those disturbing drivers who return to any parking area when possible.
The standard NACS charging port means that EV4 will be able to naturally charge the Tesla Supercharger stations.
A security technique and convenience
Rounding the EV4 feature kit is a new version 3.0 of the carmaker I-Pedal A regenerative braking system, which automatically adjusts the level of the regen based on speed, distance to the leading vehicle and more. The system now operates the opposite and retains the preferred level of driver regeneration when the EV4 restarts. Like other e-GMP vehicles, this is compatible with Vehicle adapter to car loadAllowing owners to turn the external charging gate into a familiar 120 volt/15-amplifier power outlet to run devices, equipment or tools when EV4 is parked.
Inside, the eye is held on the now-famous Dual Digital EV4 Dashboard, a dedicated 5-inch climate display (similar to the EV9 hyphen) before, hopefully, to place the way forward. The cab's technology package includes Kia AI's new assistant, which will help drivers keep their eyes off those screens while driving with voice commands for natural language. Also available are Digital Key 2.0 Tech, which allows drivers to use the key FOB for their phone, wireless Android automatic and Apple Carplay connection and standard security technology on the highway. The EV4 software will be held current with air updates and purchases upon request through the Kia Connect data link, for which owners must subscribe to maintain after a three -year rehearsal.
There are many blanks that will need to fill in before 2026 Kia EV4 to hit US roads in early 2026, including the EPA scope and the final prices for the South Korean EVP product. Expect more details to be announced in the coming months.
2026 kia k4 hatchback
For buyers with a budget, they are not ready to make the jump of electric, the car also debuted a hatchback variant of its combustion 2026 K4. Most specifications are identical to the sedan until you reach the capacity of the K4 22.2 cubic feet behind the rear seats (up to 14.6 cubic pounds), which expands to 59.3 cubes when they are flat. Interestingly, the hatchback is also about 11 inches shorter than a bumper to a bumper, despite keeping it the same rear foot room and boasts an centimeter extra rear head.
The 2026 Kia K4 hatchback will be offered with a standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 147 hp and 132 pounds of torque or a 1.6-liter turbocharger to 190 hp and 195 LB-FT.
