The 2026 Kia EV4: Bold Style, Big Range, and Everyday Practicality

If you're on the hunt for a sleek, high-tech electric sedan, Kia's got something exciting in store. Meet the all-new 2026 Kia EV4, a stylish and forward-thinking EV that's set to shake up the compact sedan segment. Even better? It's arriving soon at Jim Butler Kia of St. Louis, where you'll have the chance to check out its cutting-edge features, impressive range, and standout design in person!

A Perfect Balance of Size and Space

Built on Kia’s advanced E-GMP platform, the EV4 is designed to offer the best of both worlds—compact enough for city driving yet spacious enough for everyday practicality. At 186.2 inches long, it's slightly bigger than a Honda Civic sedan but features a 111.0-inch wheelbase, putting it on par with larger models like the Accord. 

That means plenty of legroom in the back and a generous 17-cubic-foot trunk for all your cargo needs. While a hatchback version will be available in Europe, the U.S. market will focus on the sleek and stylish sedan.

High-Tech Interior with a Modern Touch

Step inside, and you're greeted by a futuristic, driver-focused cabin that takes cues from Kia’s EV3. A massive 30-inch digital display stretches across the dashboard, combining a 12.3-inch driver display, a 5.3-inch climate control panel, and another 12.3-inch touchscreen for infotainment and settings. The premium fabric finishes add a touch of sophistication, while the available GT-Line package brings extra flair with 19-inch wheels and aggressive front and rear accents.

Fast Charging, Smart Tech, and Built for Adventure

The EV4’s 400-volt electrical system ensures quick and efficient charging. Plug into a Level 2 charger, and you’ll get a steady 11 kW charging rate. Need a faster top-up? DC fast charging can juice up the 81.4-kWh battery from 10 to 80% in just 31 minutes. Even the smaller 58.3-kWh battery charges up nearly as fast, hitting the same mark in about 29 minutes. And thanks to Kia’s vehicle-to-load (V2L) technology, the EV4 can power everything from camping gear to household appliances—perfect for road trips or unexpected power outages.

Performance That Keeps You Moving

Under the hood, the EV4’s 201-horsepower front-mounted motor delivers a smooth and responsive ride. The larger battery variant is estimated to go from 0 to 62 mph in 7.7 seconds, while the smaller battery model shaves it down to 7.4 seconds. If you’ve driven the Kia Niro EV, expect a similar experience—it hits 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, so the EV4 should feel just as quick and lively.

Long-Range Confidence

Range anxiety? Not here. The larger battery version is estimated to deliver around 330 miles of range based on adjusted EPA calculations, making it a great pick for road trips or long commutes. The smaller battery still packs a punch with an estimated 225-mile range, ensuring plenty of efficiency for everyday driving.

Designed for the Road Ahead

Beyond just numbers, the EV4 is built to offer a smooth, fun, and engaging drive. Its responsive handling and aerodynamic design help maximize efficiency while keeping the ride comfortable, whether you're cruising through city streets or hitting the highway for a weekend getaway. Kia’s E-GMP platform ensures a balanced and confident driving experience, so you can enjoy every mile behind the wheel.

Arriving Soon!

Production for the U.S.-spec EV4 is already underway in South Korea, with first deliveries expected by the end of the year. With bold styling, innovative tech, and impressive efficiency, the 2026 Kia EV4 is set to make a big impact in the EV market. The future of driving is almost here—get ready to experience the EV4 at Jim Butler Kia of St. Louis!
