Pricing and specifications of the longer version of the EV4 are now available and order books are open, too, ahead of first deliveries this autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the EV4 hatchback gives Kia a fresh competitor against the likes of the Skoda Elroq and Volkswagen ID.3, the EV4 Fastback morphs into a saloon &#8211; style shape, offering an alternative to the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pricing for the EV4 Fastback starts at \u00a340,895 for the GT &#8211; Line and \u00a345,395 for the GT &#8211; Line S. Those are the only two trim options available on the Fastback, which only comes with an 81.4kWh battery, while the EV4 hatchback can be had with the more basic \u2018Air\u2019 trim and with a smaller 58.3kWh pack from \u00a334,695.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kia claims the EV4 Fastback is the most aerodynamic EV it\u2019s ever made, with a drag coefficient of 0.23. However, despite this and using the same size battery that\u2019s available in the EV4 hatchback, the EV4 Fastback tops out at 380 miles for both of those trim levels &#8211; the hatch can cover up to 388 miles. That\u2019s still a little way off the Polestar 2\u2019s maximum of 408 miles and the Tesla Model 3 Long Range\u2019s 436 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sitting on the same 400V architecture as the hatch, the Fastback can recharge its 81.4kWh battery from 10 to 80 per cent in 29 minutes when using a 350kW fast charger. An 11kW AC charger will see the same top up take five hours and 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1260\" height=\"710\" src=\"http:\/\/168.107.17.222\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/c2289eecfe9c6ff.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1941\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.ayoyo.com.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/c2289eecfe9c6ff.webp 1260w, http:\/\/www.ayoyo.com.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/c2289eecfe9c6ff-768x433.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1260px) 100vw, 1260px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1260\" height=\"710\" src=\"http:\/\/168.107.17.222\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/66f6b7d0d4432f5.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1942\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.ayoyo.com.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/66f6b7d0d4432f5.webp 1260w, http:\/\/www.ayoyo.com.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/66f6b7d0d4432f5-768x433.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1260px) 100vw, 1260px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1260\" height=\"710\" src=\"http:\/\/168.107.17.222\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/f6b9d2e62ccf8b1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1943\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.ayoyo.com.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/f6b9d2e62ccf8b1.webp 1260w, http:\/\/www.ayoyo.com.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/f6b9d2e62ccf8b1-768x433.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1260px) 100vw, 1260px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1260\" height=\"710\" src=\"http:\/\/168.107.17.222\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/8125a558c13ce3b.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1944\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.ayoyo.com.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/8125a558c13ce3b.webp 1260w, http:\/\/www.ayoyo.com.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/8125a558c13ce3b-768x433.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1260px) 100vw, 1260px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If Kia\u2019s new EV4 hatchback didn\u2019t quite grab your atten [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1940,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[223],"tags":[90],"class_list":["post-1939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-car","tag-kia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ayoyo.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ayoyo.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ayoyo.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ayoyo.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ayoyo.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1939"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.ayoyo.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1939\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1945,"href":"http:\/\/www.ayoyo.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1939\/revisions\/1945"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ayoyo.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ayoyo.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ayoyo.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ayoyo.com.cn\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
