At Preston's Kia, we are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the 2026 Kia EV4 at our dealership in Montpelier, VT. The EV4 is an unorthodox take on the electric sedan, with unique styling and advanced features that set it apart.
EV4 Trim Levels
The 2026 Kia EV4 will be offered in three trim levels in the U.S. - Light, Wind, and GT-Line. The Light model features a 58-kWh battery that provides an estimated 235 miles of driving range. For longer trips around Burlington, VT, the Wind trim level upgrades to an 81-kWh battery, extending the estimated range to an impressive 330 miles. All EV4 models are powered by a 201-horsepower electric motor driving the front wheels.
Distinctive Styling
To maximize efficiency, the EV4 boasts a sleek, aerodynamic design with a low 0.23 drag coefficient, aided by a full underbody cover. The styling is distinctive, with a blunt front end, sharply rising beltline, and a fastback roofline creating a futuristic torpedo shape. Customers from Barre, VT will appreciate the EV4's eye-catching looks.
Forward-looking Charging and Convenience Features
The EV4 utilizes the North American Charging Standard (NACS) for convenient access to charging networks. When DC fast-charging, the Light model can charge from 10-80% in just 29 minutes, while Wind and GT-Line models with the larger battery take only 31 minutes. This will make it a breeze to recharge during trips to Randolph, VT and beyond.
Kia has enhanced their i-Pedal one-pedal regenerative braking system in the EV4. It now functions when reversing and can store the last-used setting for a smooth driving experience. The EV4's battery also allows powering external devices when needed.
Modern, High-Tech Interior
Inside, the EV4 presents a modern cabin with contrasting colors and trim. Dual 12.3-inch displays are standard, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. Drivers in Bethel, VT will enjoy the customizable 64-color ambient lighting and dual-zone automatic climate control. Using the Kia Connect smartphone app, EV4 owners can take advantage of Digital Key functionality. This allows for remote locking/unlocking and pre-conditioning of the cabin temperature before entering the vehicle.
Progressive Driver Assistance Features
The EV4 comes equipped with Kia's Highway Driving Assist, which can automatically maintain speed and distance from other vehicles on the highway. Available driver aids include forward collision avoidance and remote smart parking.
The 2026 Kia EV4 is expected to arrive in early 2026. To be one of the first in Montpelier, VT to experience the EV4, contact Preston's Kia to reserve a test drive today.
