WATT MATTERS?

The EV4 gives Kia's electric range something increasingly rare: a choice of sedan or hatchback bodywork. It challenges the assumption that every practical EV needs to be an SUV.

THE BASICS

A dedicated battery-electric model offered in two distinct body styles, with Australian specifications and equipment dependent on version. Compare the exact body, battery and range rather than treating EV4 as one specification.

THE WATTCAR TAKE

The EV4 could appeal to buyers who value aerodynamic efficiency and a lower driving position. Offering both body styles is a welcome acknowledgement that practicality means different things to different people.
