AutoExec Summary
Kia may be preparing to launch a new electric car, the EV4, which could come in both hatchback and sedan body styles. The EV4 is expected to be similar in size to popular electric cars like the Tesla Model 3 and BYD Seal. It will likely share technology with the upcoming EV3 small electric SUV, offering a single electric motor and a choice of battery sizes. Prices are expected to start below $50,000. A dual-motor GT version may also be in the works, offering higher performance but at a higher price point. Charging will not be as fast as other models due to a 400-volt setup. The EV4 is anticipated to be built on Kia’s e-GMP platform.

Brands mentioned: Kia, Tesla, BYD, MG, Toyota, Mitsubishi.
