EV4 Hatchback 81.4 kWh (MY26)

The Kia EV4 Hatchback 81.4 kWh (MY26) is a 5-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive, sold new from 2025 to 2026, when it cost £33,245 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.7 seconds, slower than 67% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 314 miles (505 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 83% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and the longest of 67 hatchbacks.

It uses around 4.0 mi/kWh (154 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 78 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 105 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 328 miles (528 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand, a 2025 example is estimated at £18,900–£21,600 and a 2026 one at £18,900–£21,600, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2025 car should still manage about 308 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
