Kia also calls this mid-size van a “Car Derived Van” (CDV) and, in that sense, it is also the brand’s first electric “company car. While we say commercial vehicle, a passenger version will also just appear. Later in 2026 you can expect a variant with three rows of seats, and that’s just as well, because then the PV5 can compete with, for example, the Volkswagen ID.Buzz – also available as a commercial vehicle and passenger version.

Scoop: Kia EV4 GT-Line
Segment and positioning
The EV4 should make it come true for Kia in the c-segment. It is longer than the Kia EV3 – a popular car in the Netherlands – but also slightly lower. So you sit more in this car, than on it. Inside, it offers more interior space. It competes with cars like the Peugeot e-308 or the Opel Astra and comes as a hatchback or as a so-called “fastback.
Main specs
Battery capacity: there are two variants with 81.4 kWh in the largest version, and a smaller variant with 58.3 kWh. The fastback is only available with the 81.4 kWh battery.

Power: The Kia EV4 has an output of 150 kW (204 hp).
Price: For 37,695 euros you get into the hatchback with a 58.3 kWh battery. If you still prefer the 81.4 kWh battery, it comes from 41,195 euros. The Fastback only starts at the Plus version from 44,695 euros.

This car thus competes with, for example, the BYD Seal U Dm-i, or another well-known plug-in hybrid SUV, the Mitsubishi Outlander.
Main specs
Battery capacity: the Lynk & Co 08 has a 39.6 kWh compact battery combined with a gasoline engine.
