2023 Kia EV4 – Following the Kia EV6, Kia intends to introduce several other electric SUVs. According to a report published in August 2021 by Auto Express, a compact model known as the Kia EV4 is currently being developed for the European market. It’s not a BEV like the Niro or Soul that is referred to as EVx SUV, but rather the dedicated electric vehicle.
2023 Kia EV4 Exterior and Interior
The Kia EV4 is capable of providing the space of a Sportage. With the help of the E-GMP, the former will not require the same interior space as a combustion model. If you’re keeping score at home, the new Sportage measures 4,660 millimeters (183.5 inches), 1,865 millimeters (73.4 inches), 1,660 millimeters (65.4 inches), and it has a 2,755 millimeter wheelbase (108.9 in.). The wheelbase of the flagship Telluride is 114.2 inches, which the EV6 matches at 4,680 mm (184.3 in.).
800 volts is the maximum system voltage that can be supported by the E-GMP platform (400 volts). The E-GMP-based EVs of customers can now be charged at speeds of 350 kW. Charging the EV6’s battery pack from 10% to 80% SoC takes less than 18 minutes, with battery pack sizes ranging from 58.0 kWh to 77.4 kWh. A 70-mile maximum driving range can be achieved in as little as five minutes of charging time. The EV6’s battery could be used in the EV4 for a 300-mile range (EPA est.).
2023 Kia EV4 Release Date and Price
The Kia EV4 could go on sale as early as 2023, according to a report from Auto Express. A future high-performance compact electric SUV is now possible thanks to Kia’s announcement that every EV model in the company’s lineup will get a GT version. Sadly no price info is available right now.
