Summary
The Kia EV4 is a mid-size electric model that is set to arrive in the UK in the second half of 2025. It will be available as either a saloon or a hatchback.
The EV4 will be one of two new Kia electric vehicles launching in 2025 – along with the EV5, which is a mid-sized SUV to sit between the EV3 and EV9.
Kia has released very little news about the EV4 to date, with official images released in mid-February 2025 and more product details to be announced at the end of the month, so keep checking back regularly as we continue to build this page with more information.
In a first for Kia’s EV models, the EV4 will have a choice of two body styles – either a saloon or a five-door hatchback. The saloon features an aerodynamic long-tail design reminiscent of the Hyundai Ioniq 6, while the hatchback’s more truncated rear end resembles the larger Kia EV6.
Pricing has not yet been announced, but it’s likely to start at about £40K in line with similar electric saloons from other brands.
