STINGER ELECTRIFIED? KIA EV4 SEDAN VS HATCH PREMIERE PLUS PREVIEW EV2

EV Channels Review

The Kia EV4 emerges as a compelling new entrant, positioned to offer strong value, particularly in its sedan form. The reviewer highlights its impressive aerodynamic efficiency (Cd of 0.23), which is expected to translate to better real-world range compared to models like the EV6, especially at higher speeds. Key strengths include a spacious interior with ample legroom, a clean and modern design with high-quality, animal-free materials, and practical features like a usable trunk (490L for sedan) and a comfortable, albeit manually adjustable, seating position. The reviewer praises the retention of physical climate controls and a dual-screen setup. However, the EV4's charging architecture is noted as a drawback; it lacks the 800-volt system of the EV6, resulting in a 10-80% charge time of around 30 minutes, which is considered not particularly quick. The absence of a front trunk (frunk) is also a minor disappointment. The GT-Line trim adds a sportier aesthetic with unique interior and exterior styling. Overall, the EV4 is presented as a well-rounded, price-performance-oriented EV, especially appealing in its sedan guise for its efficiency and design.
