Kia is pitching Americans an affordable EV sedan with EV4 debut


Kia debuted its 2026 EV4 sedan at the New York International Auto Show on Wednesday, its first global electric sedan and one designed for customers

“The EV4 makes all-electric ownership accessible for those customers who are seeking a more practical and affordable option on the EV landscape while still desiring an advanced, technology-driven in-car experience,” Steven Center, COO and EVP of Kia America, said in a statement. Head on, you can see the low nose, long-tail silhouette, and fastback roofline of a classic sports car, and from the rear, vertical taillights, a two-piece roof spoiler, and sleek bumper design give it a more aerodynamic, tech-forward presence. Like Kia’s other EVs, the EV4 also offers the chance to enhance connectivity and entertainment features through over-the-air updates, including adding personalized display themes across the cockpit like your “favorite NBA team” for all the environment-loving super fans out there.
