- Spy photographers have captured interior shots of the Kia EV4 for the first time.
- Pictures reveal a very similar widescreen digital display and dashboard design to those in the EV3 SUV.
- The compact electric sedan will be smaller and cheaper than the EV6 and should undercut the Tesla Model 3.
Kia’s EV4 sedan has been spied in prototype form on several occasions, but this time our photographers have sneaked a look inside the upcoming Tesla Model 3 rival.
Fresh images of a heavily disguised sedan testing in Europe show the infotainment screen and dashboard of the newest member of Kia’s growing electric family, and they look almost identical to the components fitted to this car’s SUV sister, the EV3.

A wide, slim glass panel stretching from the driver’s side to the far side of the center console sandwiches a small 5.3-inch climate control display between a 12.3-inch digital instrument pack with a same-sized touchscreen media system.
The EV3 features ChatGPT AI voice control so you can ask it a variety of questions with a good chance of it understanding, and we can presume the EV4 will get the same tech. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will also be part of the package.
Mounted below the floating screen unit is a control panel containing touch sensitive buttons for main shortcuts including Home, Map and Media, and there’s a revolving drum-style volume control beneath that with air vents mounted on either side.
The EV4 shares more than interior screen tech with the EV3. The sedan also rides on the same Hyundai Motor Group E-GMP electric platform used by the EV3, EV6, EV9 and multiple Hyundai and Genesis cars. But the EV3 is the only one of those cars to feature 400-volt rather than more advanced 800-volt electrics. It’s unclear which way the EV4 will swing, but if we had to call it we’d say it would follow the EV3’s lead in the pursuit of lower costs.
More synergies between EV3 and 4 would mean the sedan getting a choice of 58.3 kWh and 81.4 kWh battery packs and base models coming equipped with a single 201 hp (204 PS / 150 kW) electric motor. A more powerful dual-motor variant with all-wheel drive is also in the pipes.
But it’s not only batteries and motors that buyers will have to configure. They’ll also need to decide which bodystyle to have. These pictures show the EV4 in sedan guise, but previous spy photos confirm that Kia is also planning to offer its compact EV with a more upright hatchback tail when it goes on sale next year.
