Highly-anticipated all-electric dream has finally landed on Irish roads

THE Kia EV4 and EV4 Fastback have at long last arrived in Ireland.

- 

The EV4 is Kia's first all-electric hatchback, engineered on the dedicated Electric Global Modular Platform to deliver class-leading performance and efficiency.

Produced in Žilina (Slovakia), the long-range version is powered by an 81.4-kW battery that charges from 10-80 per cent in 31 minutes and delivers up to 625 kilometres of range.

EV4 is also available with a 58.3-kWh standard battery, which charges from 10-80 per cent in just 29 minutes.

Both battery options power a front-mounted 150-kW motor, allowing the EV4 to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in as little as 7.7 seconds (7.4 seconds for the standard battery) and reach a top speed of 170 km/h.

VERSATILE

Finally, an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.27 Cd maximises aerodynamic efficiency. With up to 435 litres of luggage space, a stable ride, and segment-leading range, the EV4 is versatile for both city and long-distance journeys.
