Kia unveiled the EV4 in concept form in late 2023 with the model as a high-riding four-door coupe based on the e-GMP platform and featuring Kia’s latest ‘Opposites United’ design philosophy. Now Kia has shared images teasing the production EV4 with the final sedan looking to have carried forward almost all of concept’s design.
