Overview
editThe EV4 was previewed by the Kia EV4 Concept car which was presented on 12 October 2023 during the manufacturer's Kia EV Day event,[2][3] then exhibited at the LA Auto Show in November.[4][5]
The EV4 is Kia’s first global C-segment sedan, and also available as a hatchback model in Europe.[6] The first row is equipped with a panoramic wide display that includes a 12.3-inch cluster, a 5-inch air conditioning unit, and a 12.3-inch infotainment system. There are hidden touch buttons below the display, but the media power, volume, air conditioning temperature, and wind speed functions are physical buttons.[7]
The EV4 is the first Kia vehicle to feature a 2-row rotating armrest and over-the-air software update function linked to the Kia mobile app.[7]
Markets
editThe EV4 will be available in European markets as a sedan and hatchback.[7]
