Kia launches EV4 as Canada’s most affordable EV
While Kia is delaying the EV4 “indefinitely” for the US, the electric sedan is now on sale in Canada. Starting at just $38,995, the EV4 is now the most affordable dedicated EV in Canada.
It’s even cheaper than the Fiat 500e, which previously held the title with prices starting at $39,995. The EV4 is Kia’s first global electric sedan and part of its new low-cost EV lineup.
Not only is it affordable, but the EV4 is also surprisingly efficient. Based on the E-GMP platform that underpins Hyundai’s IONIQ series and Kia’s other EV models, the EV4 is available with two battery options: a standard 58.3 kWh or long-range 81.4 kWh, delivering up to 552 km (343 miles).
Like Kia’s latest EVs, the EV4 features its new Opposites United design with a redesigned “Digital Tiger Face” up front.
Although it may look like a typical sedan, Kia says it introduces a “new typology” with a low nose, long-tail silhouette, and fastback style.
The interior includes Kia’s new connected car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) infotainment, featuring nearly 30″ of screen space. The setup consists of dual 12.3″ driver cluster and navigation screens in a curved panoramic display, plus an additional 5″ climate control. It also offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Kia’s electric sedan even includes a built-in NACS port for recharging at Tesla Superchargers. It can charge from 10% to 80% in about 28 minutes with the 58.3 kWh battery. The 81.4 kWh battery takes around 31 minutes.
The EV4 is available in five different trims: Light FWD Standard Range, Wind FWD Long Range, Wind Premium FWD Long Range, GT-Line FWD Long Range, and GT-Line Limited FWD/AWD Long Range.
The Light variant is the only model with the standard 58.3 kWh battery. All other variants are powered by the long-range 81.4 kWh battery. Both battery options power a front-mounted 150 kW (201 hp) motor.
Kia’s electric sedan is the first to feature its latest i-Pedal 3.0, which now includes three levels of regenerative braking, a reverse i-Pedal function, and i-Pedal memory that retains driver settings on restart.

The EV4 includes standard ADAS features, including Kia’s available Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA2), which uses speed limit information from the navigation system on controlled access roads and highways to automatically adjust the vehicle’s speed.
The 2026 Kia EV4 FWD is now available for order at dealerships across Canada. The AWD version is expected to go on sale later in 2026.
While the EV4 is now on sale as the most affordable EV in Canada, US buyers are missing out thanks to new tariffs and other policy changes under the Trump administration.
For those in the US, although the EV4 is sadly not available, Kia is currently offering over $10,000 off every EV in its US lineup. Interested in a test drive? You can use the links below to find Kia’s EVs in your area.
