Hello.

I am Uniji (Yukapost), an automotive influencer.

Kia has launched its first electric sedan, the 'EV4,' taking on new challenges in the global electric vehicle market. The EV4, Kia's fourth dedicated electric vehicle following the electric SUV models 'EV6, EV9, and EV3,' is expected to bring a new change to a market where sedan-type electric cars have been relatively scarce. Built on Kia's latest dedicated electric vehicle platform, E-GMP, the EV4 measures 15.6 feet (4,730 mm) in length, 6.1 feet (1,860 mm) in width, 4.9 feet (1,480 mm) in height, and has a wheelbase of 9.2 feet (2,820 mm), providing ample interior space. Notably, the drag coefficient of 0.23 boasts the best performance among Kia electric vehicles, maximizing the efficiency of the electric car.

Kia's EV4 stands out with its design and technological innovations

The Kia EV4 features a sleek silhouette and sharp body lines based on Kia's electric vehicle design philosophy, 'Opposites United.' Its unique design, with a roof spoiler positioned at both ends of the body, suggests a new direction for sedan-type electric cars. The exterior design seamlessly connects the front and rear, maximizing aerodynamic design to enhance the efficiency of the electric vehicle. Additionally, the EV4 includes various cutting-edge technologies, such as ▲ a 100W C-type USB charging port for fast charging ▲ Built-in Cam 2 Plus ▲ Head-Up Display ▲ Smart Cruise Control ▲ Lane Keeping Assist 2 ▲ Highway Driving Assist 2 ▲ Surround View Monitor, among many other driving and parking assistance systems to maximize user convenience.

The EV4 enhances collision safety with ▲ a 9-airbag system ▲ ultra-high-strength hot-stamping components ▲ optimized front body structure. Furthermore, it features dynamic ambient lighting, an interior mode, and an intuitive operating system that significantly improves driving convenience.

Kia EV4 driving range and charging performance

The EV4 will be available in two models: a long-range model equipped with an 81.4 kWh battery and a standard model with a 58.3 kWh battery. The long-range model can travel 331 miles (533 km), while the standard model can cover 237 miles (382 km) according to industrial certification standards. The combined energy consumption stands at 5.8 km/kWh (2WD, based on 17-inch wheels), showcasing the best efficiency among Kia electric vehicles. Moreover, with a 350kW fast charger, the battery can charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 31 minutes (long-range) or about 29 minutes (standard).

What is the price of Kia's 'EV4' as it challenges the electric sedan market previously dominated by the Tesla Model 3?

The vehicle sale prices for the EV4, before applying electric vehicle tax benefits, are as follows: Standard ▲ Air at approximately $31,500 (4,192,000 KRW) ▲ Earth at approximately $35,000 (4,669,000 KRW) ▲ GT Line at approximately $35,800 (4,783,000 KRW), and for the long-range models: ▲ Air at approximately $35,000 (4,629,000 KRW) ▲ Earth at approximately $38,000 (5,104,000 KRW) ▲ GT Line at approximately $38,800 (5,219,000 KRW). After applying electric vehicle tax benefits and government and local subsidies, the standard model is expected to be around $25,000 (34,000,000 KRW), while the long-range model is anticipated to be approximately $28,000 (38,000,000 KRW).

Through the EV4, Kia aims to challenge the electric sedan market that Tesla's Model 3 has dominated, focusing on leading the popularization of electric vehicles. The launch of the EV4 signifies an expansion into the sedan-type electric vehicle market, providing electric vehicle consumers with more diverse choices. Meanwhile, the EV4 had a smooth start last month, selling 831 units as deliveries began.

A Kia representative stated, "The EV4 will lead a new change in the domestic electric vehicle market as the next-generation electrified sedan," adding, "We are preparing various marketing events so that many customers can experience the charm of the EV4 firsthand."

The EV4 marks the beginning of Kia's expansion in its electric vehicle lineup and represents a new challenge in the global electric vehicle market. We eagerly anticipate how much change the EV4 will bring to the electric sedan market, which Tesla's Model 3 has led. Kia's latest endeavor may shake up the electric vehicle market once again. We appreciate your valuable comments and hope you have a pleasant and happy day as we conclude this post.
