Overview

• Kia confirmed a hotter EV4 GT in development, with full details promised later this year following test sessions scheduled for this month.
• The Europe-tuned EV4 comes in hatch and Fastback body styles, with the hatch built in Žilina, Slovakia for Europe and the Fastback produced in Korea; the U.S. is slated to receive the sedan in early 2026.
• Launch models use a single front motor (150 kW/201 hp) with 58.3 kWh or 81.4 kWh batteries, delivering WLTP ranges up to 391 miles and 10–80% charging in about 31 minutes on the larger pack via a 400‑volt system.
• UK lineup and pricing are set: Air from £34,695 (273 miles WLTP standard range), Air Long Range from £37,695 (up to 388 miles), GT‑Line from £39,395 and GT‑Line S from £43,895 (both rated at 362 miles).
• Early reviews praise ride, handling and packaging, while noting motorway tyre noise, compromised rear visibility and no one‑pedal mode; features include dual 12.3‑inch displays plus a 5.3‑inch climate screen, V2L, and V2G where available.
