Kia’s Most Aerodynamic Model Yet

The EV4 Fastback has been engineered with aerodynamics at the core, achieving a drag coefficient of just 0.23 Cd in the Light 2WD model. This streamlined design is not only striking but also practical, contributing directly to the EV4’s outstanding range.

Drivers of the Light 2WD Long Range variant can expect up to 633 km WLTP on a single charge, thanks to Kia’s latest 81.4 kWh NCM modular battery.

Technology that Raises the Bar

Kia’s engineers set out to make the EV4 one of the most tech-packed EVs on the market, and the results speak for themselves:

Panoramic 29.6″ Digital Display: Combining instrument cluster, infotainment, and controls into one intuitive layout.
Kia Connect with OTA Updates: Keeping your car’s systems updated with the latest features.
Emergency e-Call SOS: Complimentary for 5 years for extra peace of mind.
Flagship Safety Features: Borrowed from Kia’s EV9, including Forward Collision Avoidance 2.0, Highway Driving Assist 2.0, and Lane Follow Assist.

A Comfortable, Confident Drive

New Zealand roads demand comfort as well as capability, and the EV4 delivers with 3rd-generation Frequency Sensitive Dampers. These smart suspension components filter out vibrations and harsh impacts, making city streets and winding rural roads feel equally smooth.
