Affordable Tesla Model 3 crusher priced

Kia Australia has confirmed the pricing and specifications of its new EV4 sedan ahead of first examples arriving at dealers later this month.

The three-variant Kia EV4 sedan line-up starts at $49,990 before on-road costs and extends to $64,690 before on-road costs. This entry price sees it undercut the Tesla Model 3 RWD, but the entry-level BYD Seal Dynamic is cheaper again.

All EV4 sedan variants are front-wheel drive and there are two battery pack options available – a 58.3kWh and 81.4kWh lithium-ion battery.

The EV4 has received a local ride and handling tune that’s claimed to suit Australian road conditions.

It’s worth noting that while Kia is launching the EV4 exclusively in the sedan body style for now, a hatchback body style is set to arrive in the second half of 2026.
