According to Kia, the EV4 is an \u201centirely new type of EV sedan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The EV4\u2019s \u201cpotent and impactful lines\u201d distinguish it from others in its class. With a low nose and long tail silhouette, it has an almost racecar-like feel. Blended with Kia\u2019s new design theme, the electric car is built for the electric era.<\/p>\n<p>One of the first things you will notice is the sleek LED lights and Kia\u2019s new \u201cDigital Tiger Face\u201d grille up front. Like the EV3, Kia\u2019s EV4 is expected to pull many design features from its <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/guides\/kia-ev9\/\">larger EV9<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The EV4 has been caught out in the wild several times ahead of its official debut.
