Kia’s affordable EV4 will still be imported to the US


This week, Kia announced its affordable EV4 electric sedan will launch in the US early next year. While the US won’t get a hatchback edition of the EV4 that was mentioned when it was revealed in February, there will be two battery configurations: a 58.3kWh battery with a Kia-estimated range of 235 miles, and a larger 81.4kWh battery with a Kia-estimated range of 330 miles. No EPA range estimates are currently available.
The EV4 will get Tesla’s NACS charging port and can charge up from 10 to 80 percent in 31 minutes at a DC fast charging station. It also has vehicle-to-load capability that provides AC power for devices like computers. And on the inside, the EV4 features 30 inches worth of side-by-side screens that run Kia’s latest “connected car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) software with apps like YouTube.
The automaker’s “first all-electric global sedan” will be built in Korea, and while Kia has not confirmed an official price, MotorTrend reports it could be about $37,000 before any incentives. That price would undercut Tesla’s most affordable and popular Model 3 electric sedan, which costs $42,490 before the Federal $7,500 tax incentive. However, by the time this sedan is ready to ship, President Trump’s tariffs on cars built outside the country may have a significant impact.
