Kia launched the new all-wheel drive (AWD) EV4 variant in Europe, but it’s not quite the range-topping GT model.
Kia adds new AWD option for the EV4
The EV4 is unique as Kia’s first electric vehicle built in Europe. It’s offered as both a hatchback and fastback (sedan), starting at about €37,590 ($43,000) in Europe.
Up until now, the EV4 has only been available with a single front-mounted electric motor with 201 hp (150 kW) and 283 Nm of torque.
For the 2027 model, Kia is upping the ante with a new all-wheel drive (AWD) option. The new AWD option adds a rear electric motor, delivering a combined 265 hp (195 kW) and 385 Nm of torque. It’s available for the Earth and GT-Line trims, but not the base Air model.
