Overview
- Kia published official images of an EV4 GT prototype wearing a neon-accented 'GT Wrap' that will mark future GT development cars.
- Outlets that inspected the car report a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup targeting roughly 400 bhp and an estimated 0–62 mph in about 5 seconds, though final specs are not yet disclosed.
- Prototype cues include 20-inch alloy wheels on Michelin Pilot Sport tires, beefed-up brakes with green calipers, revised bumpers and diffuser, and sport seats that feel lower than the standard EV4’s.
- Reporting points to the EV4’s 81.4 kWh battery and possible carryover features such as a virtual gearshift and a steering-wheel GT Mode, consistent with Kia’s other GT models.
- A 2026 market launch is expected, with the hatch produced in Slovakia for Europe, while the U.S. is slated to receive the sedan first with AWD and GT variants to follow.
