Kia EV4 Pricing Lands As Brand Doubles Down on Australia

Kia has officially locked in Australian pricing for the EV4 sedan, confirming a three-variant lineup that positions the new electric four-door squarely in the heart of the local EV market. With prices starting just under $50,000 before on-road costs and stretching to the mid-$60,000 range, the EV4 is shaping up as one of Kia’s most strategically important electric launches yet.

The EV4 arrives at a time when Kia’s EV momentum is already strong. After a standout 2025 that delivered more than 8,100 electric vehicle sales and a top-three ranking among EV brands locally, the addition of a long-range electric sedan adds depth to a lineup previously dominated by SUVs.

Battery options, range and performance highlights

Australian buyers will be offered two battery choices across the EV4 range, catering to both affordability-focused buyers and those chasing maximum driving range. Kia says the long-range variants will become its longest-range EVs sold locally to date.

Key technical highlights include:

• Two battery options tailored for different driving needs
• Front-wheel-drive layout across the entire lineup
• Long-range models delivering more than 600km on the WLTP cycle
• Local ride and handling tuning for Australian road conditions

All versions use a single front-mounted electric motor producing 150kW. Based on overseas specifications, acceleration from 0 to 100km/h is expected to land just over the seven-second mark, placing the EV4 comfortably within the mainstream performance bracket.

Size, ride tuning and Australian focus

From a proportions standpoint, the EV4 sits firmly in the mid-size sedan category. At 4.73 metres long and just under 1.5 metres tall, it offers a sleek profile while maintaining practical interior packaging. Ground clearance is listed at 140mm, matching the EV3 small SUV and reflecting Kia’s effort to balance efficiency with real-world usability.

Kia has also invested heavily in local suspension and chassis tuning, a step that should pay dividends on Australia’s coarse-chip highways and uneven urban roads. This focus on ride comfort and stability suggests the EV4 is aimed at daily driving rather than purely showroom appeal.

The first shipments are expected to reach dealerships later this month, with full specifications to be released closer to launch.
