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.

Wind FWD/AWD: Enhanced Range and Power
The Wind trim upgrades to the long-range 81.4 kWh battery, extending the estimated range to 531 kilometres. This configuration targets drivers who need maximum range for longer commutes or weekend trips. The available all-wheel drive option adds a rear motor for enhanced traction in Ontario's changing weather conditions.
Wind models include a heat pump system that helps maintain battery efficiency in cold temperatures—a critical feature for Canadian winters. The power driver seat with lumbar support enhances comfort during extended drives, while the larger battery pack provides faster DC charging from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 31 minutes.

Inside, synthetic leather seating replaces the base cloth, and the heated steering wheel adds warmth during cold North York mornings.

The interior elevates the driver experience with memory driver seats, a driver relaxation function, and ventilated front seats for year-round comfort.
