The electric vehicle landscape continues to evolve, and Kia's latest entry is generating considerable interest among Ontario drivers. The all-new 2026 EV4 sedan will arrive in Canada early next year, bringing a fresh approach to electric mobility with technology and features designed for today's connected lifestyle.
As Kia's first global all-electric sedan, the EV4 breaks away from the SUV-dominated EV market with a sleek sedan profile that doesn't compromise on functionality. Built on Kia's dedicated E-GMP platform, this compact sedan will offer two battery options and a comprehensive suite of features that set it apart from the competition when it reaches Ontario dealerships.

Expansive Digital Display Experience
The EV4's most eye-catching feature is its nearly 30-inch total combined widescreen display. This sophisticated setup includes dual 12.3-inch screens plus a five-inch climate display, creating an integrated digital cockpit that serves as the face of Kia's connected car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC). The system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while over-the-air updates keep connectivity and entertainment features current throughout ownership.
Long-Range Battery Performance
The EV4 will offer two battery options, with the long-range 81.4 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery delivering an estimated 531 kilometres of all-electric range for Wind models. This larger battery pack pairs with a front-mounted 150 kW motor and includes a heat pump system for improved efficiency in Canadian climates. The standard 58.3 kWh battery in Light models provides an estimated 378 kilometres of range.
Rapid DC Fast-Charging Capability

Charging convenience remains a priority for the EV4, with DC fast-charging capability that can restore the battery from 10 to 80 percent charge in just 29 minutes for the smaller battery or 31 minutes for the larger pack. The vehicle features a standard NACS charging port located on the front passenger side for easy accessibility at charging stations across Ontario.
- 400V dedicated EV platform for efficient charging
- NACS port compatibility with growing network infrastructure
- Heat pump system maintains charging efficiency in cold weather
- i-Pedal 3.0 system with regenerative braking for energy recapture
Versatile V2L Functionality
Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability adds practical flexibility to the EV4 ownership experience. This feature allows the vehicle to power compatible external devices, from laptops and lighting to smaller electronics. For Pickering residents who enjoy outdoor activities or need backup power solutions, V2L transforms the EV4 into a mobile power source that extends beyond transportation.
Advanced Highway Driving Assist
The EV4's Highway Driving Assist (HDA) system uses speed limit information from the navigation system on controlled access roads and highways. Under certain conditions, it automatically adjusts the vehicle's set speed to match posted speed limits and maintains distance from vehicles ahead. Standard safety features include Driver Attention Warning, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist, Lane Following Assist, and Intelligent Speed Limit Assist.
Which EV4 Trim is Right for You?
The 2026 EV4 will be available in multiple trim levels when it arrives early next year. Light FWD serves as the entry point with the standard-range battery, while Wind, Wind Premium, GT-Line, and GT-Line Limited trims feature the long-range battery option. All-wheel-drive variants will arrive later in 2026, expanding choice for Ontario drivers who want enhanced traction capability.
For buyers comparing electric sedans, the EV4's technology package, charging speed, and V2L functionality create a distinctive value proposition in the compact electric sedan segment.
