Kia has unveiled the production design for its upcoming EV4, a compact electric SUV designed to compete with the Volkswagen ID.3. The EV4 will be available in both five-door hatchback and four-door fastback body styles and is expected to offer a range exceeding 350 miles. Kia will reveal full specifications and details on February 27th at its annual EV Day event.
Kia has revealed the production design for its Volkswagen ID.3 -rivalling EV4 , ahead of a launch later this year. The EV4 arrives to fill the gap between the EV3 hatchback and the EV5 SUV that's due to launch in Europe soon. It will be sold primarily as a five-door hatch in Europe, with a four-door fastback body style also available in other global markets. While Kia hasn't released any specifications yet, it's anticipated that the EV4 will share its E-GMP platform with Kia's other bespoke EVs.
This means it will likely be offered with a choice of battery sizes and either front- or four-wheel drive. A maximum range exceeding 350 miles is expected, although it's likely to stick with 400V charging for top-up speeds of up to 128kW. All Kia EVs are set to receive hot GT versions, so a 4WD range-topper with power and pace to match the Tesla Model 3 Performance is anticipated in the future. The EV4 will be fully detailed on February 27th at Kia's annual EV Day showcase. This event will also see the unveiling of a concept for the EV2, a sub-four-meter electric hatchback targeting the Volkswagen ID.2 and Renault 5 next year, with a starting price of around £25,000.
