The EV4 is Kia's first electric sedan, a striking long tailed fastback that blends sedan comfort with EV efficiency. It is offered with a choice of two battery sizes, and the larger Long Range pack is good for 612km, a genuinely long range that few electric cars near this price can match. It drives its front wheels through a single motor, and the cabin brings the brand's twin screen tech and clever storage in a low, sleek package. It comes in the value Air, the long range Earth and the sporty GT-Line, all with Kia's seven year warranty and vehicle to load power.

Airfrom $54,490

The value entry, the affordable way in.

The AutoFocus Verdict

The Air is the affordable way into the EV4, and its 58kWh battery is good for around 456km, which comfortably covers city driving and the daily commute. Even as the entry car it lands with most of the essentials already fitted, from the twin screen dashboard and wireless phone mirroring to a five star safety rating and the full driver assist suite. What you give up against the Earth is the bigger battery, so longer trips mean charging more often, and braked towing is capped at 500kg. If most of your driving is local it is all the EV4 you need.
