Kia recently held its annual EV Day event overseas, and we were one of the select outlets invited to attend in person. During that time, Kia<\/a> executives outlined the Korean brand\u2019s global EV strategy, which reiterated its unwavering approach to going all-electric, bolstered by several new models that made global debuts, including the Concept EV2, PV5 lineup, and the Kia EV4, which we learned will officially be sold in the US.<\/p>\n

Kia continues to establish itself as a bona fide mover in the EV segment as part of a larger electrification strategy from the parent company, Hyundai Motor Group. The Group\u2019s decision to invest in advanced platform technology early on culminated in the E-GMP platform, the 800\u2014or 400-volt nucleus of all its bespoke EV models. This platform has already paid dividends in the market growth of all its marques, particularly Hyundai and Kia.<\/p>\n

The Korean marque found early success with its EV6<\/a> and EV9<\/a> models and has since introduced several additional vehicles set to join the lineup, including the EV3, EV4, and EV5. Additionally, Kia shared plans to enter the commercial EV segment with a new lineup of modular BEVs called \u201cPlatform Beyond Vehicles,\u201d or PBVs for short.<\/p>\n

During Kia\u2019s second annual EV Day event, these models and some additional surprises were on display in Tarragona, Spain. We were there in person to get an up-close look at the nine different models on display (see the video recap below) and have some exciting news to share about Kia EVs and the US market.<\/p>\n

Kia unveils EV4 and confirms it\u2019s coming to the US<\/h2>\n

Much of Kia\u2019s EV Day 2025 touched upon new models designed for Korean and European markets, hence why the event was held in Spain, but there were some juicy tidbits for North American customers, including news that the new EV4, which was unveiled in Tarragona, will enter the US market.<\/p>\n

The EV4 initially debuted as a concept model at the 2024 LA Auto Show alongside the EV3 concept, which has since been confirmed for the US market. We have been covering all the glimpses of the EV4 since, which has expanded into sedan and hatchback configurations.<\/p>\n

During EV Day 2025, Kia officially unveiled both four- and five-door versions of the EV4, described as an \u201cathletic all-rounder launched to redefine the C-segment.\u201d This is another core model in Kia\u2019s global EV strategy and the automaker\u2019s first dedicated sedan hatchback EV.<\/p>\n

When it arrives, it will offer the best-in-class cabin and cargo space (490 liters in the sedan and 435 liters in the hatchback) and is currently being optimized to deliver the best-in-class EV range. Kia is also targeting another IIHS Top Safety Pick award for this model, and it will be the first in the EV lineup to feature over-the-air (OTA) updates<\/a> available through the Kia App. Here are some key specs:<\/p>\n
