We can expect the production-ready version of EV4 on the road by 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By the time we see the Kia EV4 hit showrooms it\u2019ll have plenty of competition. The Tesla Model 3 will have received a facelift, there\u2019s also the Polestar 2, BMW i4 and the Ioniq 6 from Kia\u2019s sister firm Hyundai. Although this is merely the concept, we expect the production EV4 to look pretty similar &#8211; a pattern established by the EV9 and EV5 concepts &#8211; which means it\u2019ll have plenty of eye-catching design features to help it stand out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--WTVKaHo2--\/f_auto,t_related-embed-mobile@1\/v1697032762\/autoexpress\/2023\/10\/Kia%20Concept%20EV3%202023-3.jpg\">Kia EV3 Concept previews chunky new electric SUV <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Kia says the EV4 is an \u201centirely new type of EV saloon\u201d and the bodystyle is a balance of four-door saloon and a sleek coupe-SUV. There\u2019s a short overhang at the front and a much larger one to the rear, plus a \u2018floating roof\u2019 created by the black pillars all around &#8211; a trait of Kia\u2019s EV range.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--GD5AWZHp--\/f_auto,t_content-image-full-mobile@1\/v1697033178\/autoexpress\/2023\/10\/Kia%20Concept%20EV4%202023.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Thin LED lights are also a design feature of Kia EVs and here they sit at the outer edges of the nose, helping to make the car look wider in combination with the contrasting wheel arches. Kia has kept its knack for striking wheel designs, this time featuring a triangular motif.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The interior looks similar to that of the EV3 Concept and EV9 Concept. The minimalist design helps to create the impression of space and there\u2019s no centre console separating the footwells for the front occupants. A huge dash-mounted dual screen will be able to utilise AI generative technology &#8211; helping the driver with day-to-day functions such as scheduling and improving the car\u2019s efficiency through route planning and charging.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The similarly-sized Ioniq 6 uses the same E-GMP architecture as the Kia EV6 and we expect this to underpin the EV4. A 77.4kWh battery powers every Ioniq 6 with up to 338 miles of range available. Given that the newly updated Model 3 Long Range can do 391 miles on a charge, the EV4\u2019s powertrain might be tweaked to improve further over the Ioniq 6\u2019s figures by the time the car launches in 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click here for our list of the best electric cars on sale right now&#8230;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/kia\/361219\/new-kia-ev4-sleek-four-door-saloon-just-concept\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kia&#x27;s EV Day plays host to a bunch of new models including a precursor to the EV4 Kia has stepped<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":241646,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>New Kia EV4 is a sleek four-door saloon - but this is just the concept - AutoMotoBuzz.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/car-reviews\/new-kia-ev4-is-a-sleek-four-door-saloon-but-this-is-just-the-concept\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New Kia EV4 is a sleek four-door saloon - but this is just the concept - AutoMotoBuzz.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Kia&#x27;s EV Day plays host to a bunch of new models including a precursor to the EV4 Kia has stepped\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/car-reviews\/new-kia-ev4-is-a-sleek-four-door-saloon-but-this-is-just-the-concept\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"AutoMotoBuzz.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-10-12T08:48:57+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"mediabest\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/New-Kia-EV4-is-a-sleek-four-door-saloon-but-this-is-just-the-concept-.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"mediabest\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/car-reviews\/new-kia-ev4-is-a-sleek-four-door-saloon-but-this-is-just-the-concept\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/car-reviews\/new-kia-ev4-is-a-sleek-four-door-saloon-but-this-is-just-the-concept\/\",\"name\":\"New Kia EV4 is a sleek four-door saloon - but this is just the concept - AutoMotoBuzz.com\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-10-12T08:48:57+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-10-12T08:48:57+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/#\/schema\/person\/74db1979fe71b5ea01513ec1ce5bc609\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/car-reviews\/new-kia-ev4-is-a-sleek-four-door-saloon-but-this-is-just-the-concept\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/car-reviews\/new-kia-ev4-is-a-sleek-four-door-saloon-but-this-is-just-the-concept\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/car-reviews\/new-kia-ev4-is-a-sleek-four-door-saloon-but-this-is-just-the-concept\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Car Reviews\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/category\/car-reviews\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"New Kia EV4 is a sleek four-door saloon &#8211;
