Canada's electric vehicle landscape has been dominated by crossovers and SUVs, leaving sedan enthusiasts with limited options. That changes when the 2026 Kia EV4 arrives in Quebec in early 2026. This all-electric compact sedan breaks new ground as Kia's first global EV sedan, introducing a fresh alternative for drivers who prefer the sleek profile and driving dynamics of a traditional four-door.
The EV4 establishes a new typology in the electric vehicle market. Built on Kia's dedicated E-GMP platform, this sedan features a low nose, long-tail silhouette, and fastback roofline that creates a unique and sporty profile. For families in Quebec seeking electric mobility without compromising on style, the EV4 delivers the efficiency benefits of an EV wrapped in a design that stands apart from the SUV crowd.
Design That Defies Convention
Kia's 'Opposites United' design philosophy shapes every aspect of the EV4's appearance. The front end features vertical headlamps and Kia's signature Star Map lighting, which has become synonymous with the brand's electrified lineup. Available small cube LED headlights with Dynamic Welcome Lights are unique to the segment, while a new interpretation of Kia's Tiger Face gives the EV4 a bold and tech-inspired personality.
The rear design echoes the front-end styling with vertical taillights, a two-piece roof spoiler, and sleek bumper design that emphasizes the car's presence and width. The EV4's planted stance comes with either standard 17-inch wheels on Light and Wind trims or 19-inch wheels on Wind Premium through GT-Line Limited variants. The GT-Line adds exclusive design elements for an even more visually striking package.
Interior Space and Technology
Inside, the EV4 prioritizes simplicity and usability for drivers transitioning from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles. The free-floating interface and two-spoke steering wheel create an open layout that focuses on comfort, space, and convenience. High-quality materials and an impressive amount of passenger and cargo space make this compact sedan surprisingly practical for daily use.
The technology centerpiece is a nearly 30-inch total combined widescreen display comprising dual 12.3-inch screens and a five-inch climate display. This serves as the face of Kia's connected car Navigation Cockpit with connectivity and entertainment features that receive over-the-air updates. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, while available features include Digital Key 2.0 for smartphone access and ventilated front seats with driver memory systems.
Electric Performance and Efficiency
The 2026 EV4 offers two battery configurations: a standard 58.3 kWh battery in the Light trim or an 81.4 kWh long-range battery in Wind, Wind Premium, GT-Line, and GT-Line Limited trims. Both options power a front-mounted 150 kW motor, with the long-range battery delivering an estimated 531 kilometres of all-electric range.
Charging capabilities include DC fast-charging from 10 to 80 percent in an estimated 29 minutes for the standard battery and 31 minutes for the long-range battery. The standard NACS charging port on the front passenger side provides easy access to thousands of charging stations across Canada and the United States.

Advanced Safety and Assistance
The EV4 will include a comprehensive suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems.

Available Highway Driving Assist uses speed limit information from the navigation system to automatically adjust the vehicle's set speed on controlled access roads and highways.
Additional available features include Remote Smart Parking Assist and standard Hands-On Detection, which senses contact between the driver's hands and the steering wheel for proper activation of ADAS warnings.
