Kia EV4 Officially Confirmed: A Bold New Electric Model is Coming
Kia has unveiled its new electric model, the EV4, ahead of its upcoming event. Alongside the EV4, the company will also showcase the PV5 van and the EV2 concept, which is expected to be Kia’s most affordable electric vehicle.
Kia EV4 is Officially Coming
First introduced as a concept over a year ago, the EV4 appears to remain faithful to its original design in its production version. The vehicle will join Kia’s expanding electric lineup, which was introduced in 2023.
The EV4’s design prominently features Kia’s signature “Tiger Face” philosophy, seen in the refreshed EV6 and the recently introduced EV3. The model’s sharp lines and striking silhouette are particularly evident in its long sedan body, especially along the sides and rear.
