Car changing is a big deal
This is the new Kia EV4, an electric hatchback with a big boot, impressive range and interesting styling, and you can save up to £4,700 when you buy through Carwow.
Kia has launched some great electric cars over the past year or so, and following the success of the EV3, EV6 and EV9 it’s now launching the new EV4. This is an electric hatchback which provides an alternative to cars like the MG4, Volkswagen ID3 and Cupra Born, despite being slightly larger than those cars.
Remember, you can buy a brand new or used car right here on Carwow. And you can sell your car, too. We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.
New kia EV4 price, specs and deals
The new Kia EV4 starts from £34,700, making it around £5,000 more expensive than a Volkswagen ID3 and £8,000 more than an MG4.
But there are great savings to be had when you buy through Carwow. At the time of writing you can get a new Kia EV4 for £33,700, and it’s even better value on PCP finance. You can get a £3,750 deposit contribution, on top of Carwow savings to give you a total of £4,700 off.
Prefer to lease your car? Well, the EV4 will cost you £553 per month through Carwow. This is over 48 months with a £5,325 deposit contribution and a mileage limit of 8,000 per year.
All versions of the Kia EV4 are powered by a 201hp electric motor driving the front wheels, and there are two battery options to choose from.
Even the smallest 58kWh pack will deliver an impressive 273 miles of range, which is 56 miles more than a basic MG4 can manage. Go for the bigger 81kWh battery and you get up to 388 miles of range, which is only really beaten by the Tesla Model 3 at this price point.
All versions of the EV4 get twin 12.3-inch screens, adaptive cruise control, heated front seats and a reversing camera. Upgrading to the GT-Line model gets you some sporty styling upgrades, leather seats, a wireless charging pad and adjustable lumbar support for the driver’s seat.
At the top of the range you have the GT-Line S, which adds ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera, a sunroof and an eight-speaker Harman Kardon sound system. Annoyingly though, you can only get an energy-efficient heat pump on the top-spec car, and even then it’s an optional extra.
New Kia EV4 alternatives
So which cars will the Kia EV4 be going up against? Well it’s tricky to offer direct alternatives, because it straddles the line between two classes, but here are five models you might want to consider if you’re looking at a Kia EV4.
1. MG4
The MG4 is a great-value electric hatchback with loads of standard equipment and a temptingly low price tag. Through Carwow you can get one for less than £19,000, making it seem like a proper bargain compared to the Kia. The styling is also much less, err, challenging, but the boot isn’t as big as the EV4’s.
2. Tesla Model 3
For similar money to a mid-spec EV4, you could also have a Tesla Model 3. It has 344 miles of range, a high-tech interior and impressive practicality. It’s also great to drive, although the button-free cabin layout may not work for everyone.
3. Volkswagen ID3
If you’re after a comfy and spacious electric hatchback with decent range, the Volkswagen ID3 fits the bill. It may not be thrilling to drive or to look at, but it’ll get you around with minimal fuss and you get over 350 miles on a charge.
4. Skoda Elroq
For maximum practicality, the Skoda Elroq has a massive boot and palatial rear seats for the same price as a Kia EV4. It’s also comfortable for long journeys, and you can even get a sporty vRS model for a brisk turn of speed.
5. Kia EV6
A basic Kia EV6 costs around the same as a high-spec EV4, and there are a few reasons you should consider the EV6 instead. It can charge much faster for starters, with 10-80% taking 18 minutes as opposed to half an hour in the EV4. The EV6 is also great to drive, although rear visibility isn’t great thanks to that sporty sloping roofline.
