Kia's electric line up continues to grow with two notable additions: the EV4, a stylish electric saloon-hatch, and the EV5, a practical compact SUV. Both models demonstrate Kia's commitment to offering affordable, technology-rich EVs that cater to modern needs.
The Kia EV4 is a sleek, mid-size electric car that combines sharp design with high-tech interiors and impressive range. It is powered by a 150 kW front motor, enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just over 7 seconds. There are two battery options available: a 58.3 kWh battery, which offers approximately 267 miles of range, and an 81.4 kWh battery that can reach up to 391 miles (WLTP). The EV4 also supports rapid charging, allowing it to charge up to 80% in about 30 minutes.
Inside, the EV4 boasts a wide digit display, an AI assistant, and comfort-oriented features, including "Rest Mode" seats. With pricing starting at under £35,000, the EV4 presents a compelling alternative to competitors like the Tesla Model 3.
The EV5 combines the practicality of an SUV with bold aesthetics and a spacious interior, making it an ideal choice for families. It offers an impressive range of up to 330 miles, fast-charging options, and a flexible boot space that can expand from 566 to 1,650 litres. Both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive variants will be available, with power outputs reaching up to 230 kW. Kia's vehicle includes dual displays, advanced safety technology, and eco-friendly materials throughout its design. Expected to be competitively priced in the UK, the Kia EV5 is an excellent choice for those seeking value and efficiency.
Whether you're looking for a stylish saloon or a practical family SUV, Kia's EV4 and EV5 offer impressive range, innovative design, and advanced features all at an affordable price. Kia demonstrates that choosing electric doesn't require sacrificing style or quality.
