Kia EV4 Hatchback

150kW GT-Line 81kWh 5dr Auto [2026]

Kia is no novice when it comes to developing electric vehicles that tick all the right boxes and go on to be instant hits with buyers as well as scooping a wealth of industry awards. Most recently, we have had the EV3, EV6 and EV9 which all feature SUV styling traits, but now we are introduced to the all-new EV4, which is sold in hatchback guise or Fastback, which basically means saloon to you and I.

With a driving range of up to 391 miles on a single charge, the EV4 has the greatest range in the company’s EV line-up to date and it comes with a competitive starting price of £34,695 too, which is reduced further thanks to Kia’s own electric car grant.

As well as the two distinctive body styles, customers can choose between two battery sizes – 58.3kWh and 81.4kWh – and there are generously-equipped trims to select from called Air, GT-Line and GT-Line S. The EV4 Fastback is only available with the larger battery and in GT-Line or GT-Line S grades.

And it was the range-topping GT-Line S models we selected to test drive in both the hatch and Fastback body styles.
