The Kia EV4 debuted in February 2025 at Kia EV Day in Tarragona, Spain. Kia revealed both a small hatchback and a sedan. The EV4 was Kia’s first all electric sedan and a compact addition to its EV line.
After the 2025 reveal Kia opened orders and began production. The EV4 is offered with two batteries: 58.3 kWh and 81.4 kWh long range. The long range hatch is credited with up to about 388 miles WLTP. Kia started deliveries in Korea and planned European hatch production later in 2025.
Today the Kia EV4 fills a mainstream compact role globally. The sedan is targeted at markets that favor saloons including Asia and North America. The hatchback is aimed at Europe. In some markets Kia refers to the sedan as a fastback or saloon rather than renaming the model. The EV4 is pitched as an affordable long range electric option from 2025.
