Overview

  • The 2026 Kia EV4 was officially unveiled at the New York International Auto Show, marking its US debut.
  • Built on Kia's 400V Electric Global Modular Platform, the EV4 features two battery options: a 58.3 kWh pack with a 235-mile range and an 81.4 kWh pack offering up to 330 miles.
  • The EV4 includes a factory-installed North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, enabling compatibility with Tesla Supercharger stations in the US and Canada.
  • The sedan is powered by a single, front-mounted 150 kW motor and supports fast charging, achieving a 10% to 80% charge in 28 to 31 minutes depending on the battery size.
  • Manufactured in South Korea, the EV4 is expected to reach US dealerships in early 2026, with potential production shifts to the US under consideration due to tariff concerns.
