Kia have unveiled the EV4 saloon and EV4 hatchback models, ay the he brand’s 
second Kia EV Day event, which will be held in Tarragona, Spain on Monday 
February 24 th demonstrating Kia's vision for the next generation of electric saloons. 
With both the EV4 saloon and the EV4 hatchback models, Kia’s unique design 
approach ensures both models are equally at home on urban streets or continent- 
crossing adventures. 
 “The Kia EV4 is a clear reflection of our commitment to rethink mobility and expand 
the boundaries of what design can achieve. By offering both saloon and hatchback 
variants, we are bringing to our customers, the unique experience of modernity and 
practicality that defines the Kia EV family, in a way that suits their varied lifestyles 
and needs” said Karim Habib, Executive Vice President and Head of Kia Global 
Design. “Offering a fresh take on the saloon, the EV4 saloon features a sleek, low 
nose and long-tail silhouette. The EV4 hatchback is a nimble, versatile all-rounder. 
Distinctive and clean, it is built to excel in any situation” added Habib. 
 
On the outside, the EV4 saloon and EV4 hatchback’s striking front-end design 
feature Kia’s innovative EV Tiger Face, complemented by vertically oriented 
headlamps and the brand’s iconic Star Map lighting signature. This dynamic 
combination accentuates the vehicle’s wide, sporty stance while underlining its 
refined, cutting-edge character. 
The EV4 saloon comes with a sleek, streamlined silhouette incorporating a low hood 
line that flows rearward to a long-tail design. A two-piece roof spoiler is unique to the 
EV4, that works in combination with vertical light units to reinforce the vehicle’s 
wide stance. The clean bumper design, accented by a technical pattern where it 
meets the tailgate, underscores Kia’s attention to detail and advanced design. 
The EV4 hatchback has a contemporary, solid look, defined by its contrasting black 
vertical C-pillars and crisply executed lines. Robust fenders and machined 19-inch 
wheels add visual strength, while geometric patterns applied to the car’s lower body 
sections emphasise its innovative nature. 
The EV4 hatchback’s rear profile mirrors the strong proportions of its saloon sibling 
while adding its own unique character. Sharply sculpted lines, wide-positioned 
taillights, and a sloping rear window create a clean, robust look. The EV4 GT-Line 
features exclusive design elements for a more dynamic character. The wing-shaped 
front and rear bumpers provide a stronger, sleeker impression, while the triangular- 
motif 19-inch wheels enhance the vehicle’s futuristic, sporty feel. 
Kia will host its 2025 Kia EV Day in Tarragona, Spain, on February 24, where the Kia 
EV4 will make its debut along with the announcement of an expanded electrification 
strategy. Detailed design and product features of the EV4 will officially be revealed 
on February 27, and an event video will be released on the Kia Worldwide YouTube 
channel in March.
