2027 Kia EV4: what's new
The 2027 Kia EV4 update goes well beyond the arrival of the new GT. The lineup keeps the Light, Wind, Wind Premium, GT-Line and GT-Line Limited trims, but all-wheel drive is now also available on several trims, whereas it wasn't offered in the regular 2026 lineup.
The Wind, Wind Premium, GT-Line and GT-Line Limited can now be configured with AWD for an additional cost, while the new EV4 GT gets all-wheel drive as standard and leans further into performance, with an estimated 288 hp and 345 lb-ft of torque. Kia also confirms a maximum range of up to 552 km for the 2027 lineup.

The GT adds a second electric motor. The result: all-wheel drive and 87 hp more than the other trims. The table below compares it with the 2026 GT-Line.

Simply put, the GT trades about 57 km of range for more power and all-wheel drive. It also stands out with its neon green brake calipers, suede and leatherette seats, and a GT button on the steering wheel that unlocks its highest-performance mode.
Kia EV4 range, batteries and charging
How much range can you expect by trim?
For the 2026 models, Kia Canada's estimated electric range varies by trim:
- Light FWD: 391 km
- Wind FWD: 552 km
- Wind Premium FWD: 515 km
- GT-Line FWD and GT-Line Limited FWD: 488 km
Keep our Quebec climate in mind, though. Cold temperatures, speed and cabin heating all have a major impact on real-world range.
A simple rule of thumb: if you drive 60 km a day, even an EV4 Light gives you about 6 days of driving between charges, in good conditions.
NACS charging and heat pump: what it means in Quebec
- Standard NACS port: direct access to compatible Tesla Superchargers, in addition to the usual fast chargers (with an adapter if needed).
- Fast charging: 10 to 80% in 29 minutes (Light) or 31 minutes (81.4 kWh battery) on a 350 kW charger. On a 50 kW charger, allow 55 and 79 minutes respectively.
- Home charging: 5 h 10 min (Light) or 7 h (81.4 kWh) to go from 10 to 100% on an 11 kW Level 2 charger. On a 120 V outlet, it takes 48 to nearly 67 hours, so a Level 2 charger is strongly recommended.
- Heat pump: standard from the Wind up. It heats the cabin using less energy than resistance heating alone. The Light still gets a battery heating system and a supplemental heater.
Dimensions, trunk space and onboard tech
The EV4 is a sedan with a 408 L trunk and a wide opening. In practical terms, two carry-on suitcases and a few grocery bags fit without folding the seats. The 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks fold down for longer items. Prefer an SUV? Take a look at the Kia EV3, which offers up to 1,600 L with the seats folded.
Inside, the dashboard brings together up to 30 inches of screens. On the driver-assistance side, every trim gets 8 airbags, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA 1.5), Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist and Safe Exit Assist, among other features. The GT-Line Limited adds the 360° Surround View Monitor, Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA2) and Remote Smart Parking Assist.

Our advice from the showroom floor: if range and affordability are your top priorities, the Wind offers the most range per dollar among the 2026 trims. If all you want is all-wheel drive, you no longer need to step up to the GT in 2027. The Wind, Wind Premium, GT-Line and GT-Line Limited can also be configured with AWD. The GT is better suited to drivers who want the most performance-focused configuration.
Availability, incentives and financing in Quebec
As of September 24, 2026, two programs can be combined. Always double-check the amounts on the day you buy, as they change.
- Federal program (EVAP): up to $5,000 in 2026 for an eligible fully electric vehicle, provided the final transaction value doesn't exceed $50,000 (before taxes). The maximum is set to drop to $4,000 in 2027. The rebate is applied directly at the dealership.
- Roulez vert (Quebec): up to $2,000 for an eligible new electric vehicle registered by December 31, 2026, when the program ends. A $600 rebate for a home charging station is also available.
With an MSRP under $50,000, the 2026 Light through Wind Premium trims may qualify for the federal program, depending on the options and fees included in the transaction. To compare with other models, see our page on the Kia electric vehicle lineup or our guide Kia EV6: Price, Range and Specs.
