The 2026 Kia EV4 represents the brand’s latest push into the affordable electric vehicle space. With its sleek crossover design, compact footprint, and anticipated long-range capability, the EV4 is poised to offer accessible, stylish, and eco-conscious driving. Positioned beneath the EV6 in Kia’s growing EV lineup, it aims to bring next-generation tech and design to Casey Kia.
Performance
The 2026 Kia EV4 comes in three trims and offers two battery options. The standard 58.3 kWh battery is equipped on the entry-level 2026 Kia EV4 Light. The long-range 81.4 kWh battery powers the midrange 2026 Kia EV4 Wind and range-topping 2026 Kia EV4 GT-Line. Both batteries pair with a 150 kW electric motor. Kia estimates the driving range is 235 miles for the standard battery and 330 miles for the long-range battery. At a DC fast-charging station, the standard battery can recharge from 10% to 80% in around 29 minutes. The long-range battery takes around 31 minutes.
Infotainment
Visit our Newport News, VA Kia dealership to see this new EV’s next-gen infotainment platform. Called the connected car Navigation Cockpit® (ccNC®), the system consists of almost 30 inches of combined wide-screen displays, maintained with timely over-the-air (OTA) software updates. These include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and a 5-inch climate display. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are offered, as is Kia AI Assistant®. The latter feature utilizes machine learning to consistently strengthen the connection between driver and vehicle.
Safety
A big range of next-gen advanced driver assistance technology (ADAS) integrates with this new Kia EV. One notable standard feature is Kia Highway Driving Assist®. It can automatically adjust the sedan’s highway speed to match the posted speed limit while also maintaining a safe distance between you and the vehicle you’re following.*
Another next-gen standard driver assistance feature is Hands-On Detection (HOD). It senses contact between the driver’s hands and the steering wheel, and when contact is confirmed, HOD allows for activation and deactivation of ADAS warnings.
