Living Up to the Hype
Kia’s EV4 electric sedan is strutting its stuff like it owns the place. After clocking over 68,000 miles (110,000 km) on public roads, its battery is still performing as if it just rolled off the assembly line. With a state-of-health (SoH) rating of 95%, this marvel of engineering is more than just a pretty face; it’s here to revolutionize the affordable EV market.
Battery Features that Wow
What’s fueling all this excitement? Kia’s fourth-generation battery system, featuring a thermal management setup that makes sure all battery cells are cool as cucumbers. This nifty feature not only extends battery life but also ensures that performance remains consistent, even during the high-stakes Nürburgring tests. If that’s not impressive, we don’t know what is!
Range and Performance: A Match Made in Heaven
With an 81.4 kWh battery, the EV4 flaunts an impressive driving range of up to 380 miles. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, the EV4 comes with regenerative braking technology that can recapture a whopping 25% of energy while decelerating. Talk about being eco-friendly while zooming around!
Kia’s aggressive pricing adds the cherry on top, with the EV4 sedan starting at £40,895 ($55,000) in the UK, and an anticipated price as low as $35,000 in the US later this year. So buckle up as the EV revolution rolls in—Kia’s EV4 is in the driver’s seat, and it’s promising quite the ride!
