The 2026 Kia EV4 is Here – Canada's Most Affordable Electric Sedan Starting at $38,995

Kia Canada has officially launched the all-new 2026 EV4, marking a significant milestone for accessible electric mobility in Canada. As the country's most affordable dedicated electric vehicle, the EV4 starts at $38,995 and delivers 552 km of range in select configurations. Available for ordering now at Lallier Kia Vimont in Laval, Quebec, this all-electric compact sedan combines bold design, advanced technology, and practical range at a price point that opens EV ownership to more Canadian drivers than ever before.

The EV4 represents Kia's first global electric sedan, built at the automaker's Autoland Gwangmyeong EVO Plant in South Korea. With front-wheel drive models available for ordering immediately and all-wheel drive variants expected later in 2026, the EV4 expands Kia's electrified lineup while addressing the growing demand for affordable, efficient electric transportation across Quebec and Canada.

Pricing and Trim Lineup

The 2026 Kia EV4 offers five distinct trim levels, each designed to meet different needs and budgets:

  • Light FWD Standard Range: $38,995
  • Wind FWD Long Range: $42,995
  • Wind Premium FWD Long Range: $45,495
  • GT-Line FWD Long Range: $48,495
  • GT-Line Limited FWD Long Range: $51,995
  • GT-Line Limited AWD Long Range: $51,995 (expected later in 2026)

All prices represent MSRP and do not include destination and delivery charges of $2,150 or applicable taxes. The entry-level Light FWD establishes the EV4 as the most accessible dedicated electric vehicle currently available in Canada, while higher trims add premium features and technology for drivers seeking enhanced comfort and capability.

Range and Battery Options

Range performance varies by trim level, with two battery configurations available:

Standard Range (Light FWD)

  • 58.3 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery
  • 391 km estimated range
  • Battery heating system included

Long Range (Wind and Above)

  • 81.4 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery
  • Up to 552 km estimated range (Wind FWD)
  • Heat pump system for improved efficiency

The Wind FWD Long Range trim achieves the maximum 552 km range, making it an excellent choice for drivers in Laval and across Quebec who need confidence for longer trips. Higher trims with larger wheels and additional features see range estimates between 488 km and 515 km, still providing strong real-world capability for daily driving and weekend adventures.

Charging and Connectivity

The EV4 features a 400V dedicated electric platform with a built-in North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, providing access to an expanding network of charging stations across Canada. DC fast charging capability allows the battery to charge from 10 to 80% in just 29 or 31 minutes, depending on battery size.

For added convenience, the EV4 is the first Kia model to receive i-Pedal 3.0, an advanced variable regenerative braking system that allows one-pedal driving and helps maximize range efficiency. This technology gives drivers in Quebec more control over energy recovery, particularly useful during winter driving conditions.

Design and Technology


Built on Kia's "Opposites United" design philosophy, the EV4 features the brand's signature Starmap lighting and a bold, modern exterior that shares design language with the EV6 and EV9. The fastback roofline and low-nose silhouette create a sporty profile, while vertical headlamps and taillights emphasize the vehicle's width and presence.

Inside, the EV4 offers a 12.3-inch multimedia interface with navigation and a matching 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Standard features across all trims include wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Kia Connect with over-the-air updates, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Higher trims add synthetic leather seating, heated and ventilated front seats, a Harman/Kardon premium sound system, and ambient mood lighting.

Safety and Driver Assistance

The EV4 comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety features and driver assistance technologies. Standard equipment includes Forward Collision Avoidance Assist with junction turning, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, and Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go. Higher trims add Highway Driving Assist 2, Blind View Monitor, Surround View Monitor, and Remote Smart Park Assist.

All models include eight airbags, electronic stability control, and a rear-view camera with dynamic parking guidance. The GT-Line Limited trim also features an in-cabin camera and Side Parking Distance Warning for enhanced awareness around the vehicle.

Practical Specifications

The EV4 measures 4,730 mm in length with a 2,820 mm wheelbase, providing 408 L of trunk space and comfortable seating for five passengers. Front legroom measures 1,154 mm, while rear passengers benefit from 970 mm of legroom. The vehicle is not rated for towing, keeping its focus on efficient daily transportation.

Wheel options range from 17-inch alloys on the Light and Wind trims to 19-inch wheels on Wind Premium and GT-Line models.
