We already know the larger <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/07\/30\/2024-hyundai-ioniq-7-specs-details\/\">Ioniq 7<\/a> is due in early 2024 and it&#8217;s apparently going to get a Kia equivalent \u2013 potentially dubbed EV7 or EV8 \u2013 mainly for the North American market.<\/p>\n<p>Before that happens, a smaller EV4 is in the pipeline and it could debut as early as next year. The British magazine has it on good authority Europe will be the compact electric crossover&#8217;s main market and that the model will go up against the Mercedes EQB and the recently unveiled <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/03\/02\/2022-volvo-c40-recharge-debut\/\">Volvo C40<\/a>. It too will ride on the E-GMP platform, which has also underpinned the Genesis GV60 introduced earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5079\" src=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Kia-EV6-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2091\" height=\"2000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Kia-EV6-3.jpg 2091w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Kia-EV6-3-1536x1469.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Kia-EV6-3-2048x1959.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2091px) 100vw, 2091px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While the EV6 featured above features a generous wheelbase measuring 2.9 meters, the EV4 is going to measure less between the axles, potentially similar to what the next-generation Sportage will have in European specification. Even if the EV4 will have a slightly shorter wheelbase, the new electric crossover will be more spacious as a result of riding on a dedicated EV.<\/p>\n<p>The base version is said to boast a rear-wheel-drive layout with a single electric motor while the more expensive ones will benefit from AWD after adding an e-motor at the front axle. Even the entry-level EV4 should have over 200 horsepower whereas the all-paw model could exceed the 300-hp mark. 58- and 77.4-kWh battery packs are on the agenda for a WLTP range of more than 300 miles (483 kilometers) in the case of the larger battery.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see what will happen to the <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/07\/17\/kia-soul-ev-not-coming-to-united-states\/\">Soul EV<\/a> once the EV4 arrives on the market, especially since Kia is also working on a second generation of the electric Niro. The South Korean brand is reportedly planning to unveil the EV4 before the end of 2022, with sales commencing at some point in 2023.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/kia\/355802\/new-kia-ev4-course-grow-electric-suv-range\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Auto Express<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The EV onslaught planned by Hyundai and Kia is just getting started as a wide array of electric cars are planned to come out in the coming years to follow the Ioniq 5 and EV6.
