Kia EV4 Finally Breaks Cover: A Bold Step in the EV Revolution

After over a year of anticipation, Kia is finally unveiling the production version of its EV4, and it’s almost an exact replica of the futuristic concept that turned heads last year. With its bold, unorthodox design, Kia is making a statement: this isn’t just another crossover—it’s a fresh take on EV sedans and hatchbacks.

But while we now get a full look at its striking exterior, Kia is still keeping the interior under wraps until later this month when all technical details will also be disclosed.


A Near-Concept Look with Some Practical Tweaks

The production-ready EV4 stays true to its concept roots, only refining a few details to meet real-world functionality. Gone are the futuristic side cameras, replaced by traditional mirrors, while the flush door handles remain for a sleek, modern touch.

Kia is introducing two body styles for the EV4:

  • A sedan with an aggressively sloping roofline that echoes the now-defunct Stinger.
  • A hatchback that leans into a more traditional but still futuristic shape.

Both versions are showcased in GT-Line trim, featuring distinctive 19-inch wheels and subtle differences in their front bumpers.

Despite riding on a dedicated EV platform, the EV4 sedan sports an unusually long rear overhang—a design choice that might not sit well with everyone. The hatchback, on the other hand, feels more balanced, likely making it the more practical and attractive option for many buyers.

Kia also sticks to the current trend of vertical front and rear lighting, adding a sharp, futuristic touch to both models.


Not Another Crossover—And That’s a Good Thing

In an era where automakers are flooding the market with EV crossovers, the EV4 sedan and hatchback stand out. Love it or hate it, Kia is taking risks, and it’s refreshing to see a non-SUV EV make it to production.

If Hyundai decides to follow suit with an Ioniq 4 equivalent, it will be interesting to see how they differentiate it from Kia’s design language.


Global Debut & Potential US Arrival

The full unveiling of the Kia EV4 will take place on February 24 during the 2025 Kia EV Day event in Tarragona, Spain. Kia will then release full specifications on February 27, detailing range, powertrain options, and pricing.

Though not officially confirmed, speculation is high that the EV4 will be available in the U.S., likely positioned above the upcoming EV3 small crossover. Meanwhile, Kia is also set to introduce a more affordable EV2, which isn’t expected to make it stateside.


Final Thoughts: Kia’s Most Ambitious EV Yet?

With its futuristic styling, concept-like execution, and a promise of competitive specs, the Kia EV4 could be one of the most intriguing EVs of 2025. Whether it will capture the same enthusiasm as the EV6 or the Telluride remains to be seen.
