From Light to GT-Line Limited: Complete 2026 EV4 Trim Breakdown

The 2026 Kia EV4 will transform Canada's compact sedan market when it arrives in early 2026. As Kia's first all-electric sedan globally, the EV4 targets the largest car segment in Canada with a fresh approach that challenges traditional sedan design. Built on the proven 400V E-GMP platform that powers the award-winning EV6 and EV9, this fastback sedan delivers the range, technology, and space that Ontario drivers demand.

Developed with Kia's 'Opposites United' design philosophy, the EV4 establishes a new typology for compact sedans. The low nose, long-tail silhouette, and fastback roofline create a sporty profile that stands apart from conventional sedans. For families in North York seeking an electric alternative without compromising on practicality, the EV4 will offer an impressive 408 litres of trunk space and seating for five adults.

Light FWD: Accessible Electric Entry

The Light FWD launches the EV4 lineup with essential electric driving capabilities. This base trim features a 58.3 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery that delivers an estimated 378 kilometres of all-electric range. The front-mounted 150 kW motor provides responsive acceleration while maintaining efficiency through the single-speed reduction gear transmission.

Key features for daily driving include heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an acoustic laminated windshield for cabin quietness. The 12.3-inch multimedia interface with navigation and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keeps drivers connected, while the comprehensive safety suite includes Forward Collision Avoidance Assist, Lane Following Assist, and Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go.
