The 2026 Kia EV4 is Kia's latest fully electric sedan, designed to bring advanced EV technology to a broader audience. This four-door electric vehicle features practical dimensions, measuring 4,730 mm in length with a 2,820 mm wheelbase. The EV4 sits lower than traditional SUVs at 1,480 mm tall, offering a sporty profile while maintaining excellent interior space.
With 408 litres of cargo capacity and seating for five, the EV4 balances everyday practicality with zero-emission driving. The vehicle features Kia's signature design language, including LED projection headlamps, a rear split spoiler with LED high-mounted stop light, and available 17-inch to 20-inch alloy wheels depending on trim level.
The EV4 is built on a dedicated electric platform, allowing for optimized packaging and performance.
The 2026 Kia EV4 offers two distinct battery configurations. The Light FWD trim features a 58.3 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery pack, providing an excellent balance of range and efficiency for daily commuting and city driving. This smaller battery option keeps the vehicle lighter and more affordable while still delivering meaningful electric range.
For drivers seeking maximum range capability, the Wind FWD, Wind Premium, GT-Line and GT-Line Limited trims upgrade to an 81.4 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery pack. This larger battery extends driving range between charges, making the EV4 suitable for longer journeys and reducing charging frequency.
Both battery options include a battery heating system to maintain optimal performance in cold Canadian winters, ensuring consistent range even when temperatures drop.
The 2026 Kia EV4 supports 400-volt fast charging technology, allowing you to add range during quick stops. Fast charging capability means you can recharge the battery much faster than with standard Level 2 home charging, making road trips and busy schedules more manageable. Exact charging times vary based on battery size, current charge level, and charger output.
For home charging convenience, the EV4 works with standard Level 2 charging equipment, which you can install in your garage or driveway. Kia Connect technology includes a Charging Station Locator feature that helps you find nearby public charging stations when you're away from home.
The system can notify you when your battery is running low and guide you to the nearest available charger.
The EV4 lineup offers three distinct powertrain configurations:
All powertrains use a single-speed reduction gear transmission, eliminating traditional gear shifts.
The 2026 Kia EV4 is available in seven well-equipped trim levels:
Light FWD - Entry point with essential safety technology, LED lighting, 17-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 12.3-inch multimedia interface with navigation.
Wind FWD - Adds the larger 81.4 kWh battery, heat pump for improved cold-weather efficiency, and power driver seat with lumbar support.
Wind AWD - Introduces all-wheel drive for enhanced traction and stability.
Wind Premium (FWD/AWD) - Upgrades to 19-inch wheels, wide sunroof, synthetic leather seats, heated steering wheel, wireless phone charger, and rain-sensing wipers.
GT-Line (FWD/AWD) - Adds GT-Line exterior styling, LED 'Small Cube' projection headlamps, memory driver seat, driver relaxation seat, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability.
GT-Line Limited (FWD/AWD) - Incorporates Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2, Highway Driving Assist 2, Blind View Monitor, Surround View Monitor, ambient mood lighting, and Harman/Kardon premium sound system.
Every 2026 Kia EV4 comes standard with a comprehensive suite of safety technologies:
Higher trims upgrade to even more advanced systems including Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2, Highway Driving Assist 2, Blind View Monitor, Surround View Monitor, and Remote Smart Park Assist.
Despite its sedan profile, the 2026 Kia EV4 offers generous interior dimensions. Front passengers enjoy 984 mm of headroom (934 mm with available sunroof), while rear passengers get 944 mm. Legroom measures 1,154 mm in front and 970 mm in the rear, providing comfortable seating for adults on longer journeys.
Shoulder room spans 1,445 mm up front and 1,412 mm in back. The 60/40 split-folding rear seats provide flexibility for cargo carrying, and the 408-litre trunk offers practical everyday storage.
Dual-zone automatic climate control with rear air vents keeps all passengers comfortable, while heated front seats come standard across all trims. Higher trim levels add ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, power-adjustable seats with memory, and relaxation seats for both driver and passenger.
The 2026 Kia EV4 features a 12.3-inch multimedia interface with built-in navigation, AM/FM/MP3 audio, HD Radio, and SiriusXM. The system supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, allowing smartphone integration without cables. A matching 12.3-inch TFT supervision cluster provides clear driver information, with a dedicated 5-inch HVAC display for climate controls.
Kia Connect with over-the-air updates keeps your vehicle's software current without dealership visits. The system offers remote start with climate control, remote door lock/unlock, vehicle location tracking, and charging station locator functionality.
Select trims add wireless phone charging, Harman/Kardon premium sound, ambient mood lighting, and Kia Digital Key 2.0, which allows you to use your smartphone or smartwatch to access and start your vehicle.
Yes, GT-Line and higher trims include Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology, transforming your EV4 into a mobile power source. This feature allows you to power external devices and appliances directly from your vehicle's battery - useful for camping trips, tailgating, emergency backup power, or running power tools at remote job sites.
The V2L system can supply electrical power, turning your EV into a versatile energy resource beyond just transportation.
The 2026 Kia EV4 offers seven exterior colour options: Snow White Pearl, Shale Grey, Aurora Black, Ivory Silver, Magma Red, Yacht Blue, and Morning Haze. Six of these colours carry a $250 premium paint charge, with Aurora Black as the standard no-charge option.
Interior choices vary by trim level, ranging from black cloth on base models to synthetic leather with off-white accents on premium trims.
The 2026 Kia EV4 benefits from comprehensive warranty protection. The hybrid and electric vehicle system components - including the battery pack assembly, power control unit, and traction motor - are covered for 96 months or 160,000 kilometres.
This extensive coverage protects the most critical and expensive components of your electric vehicle.
Note: Verify specific warranty terms with Straightline Kia Calgary, as coverage details may vary.
