If you thought going electric meant spending luxury-car money, Kia is about to prove you wrong. The 2026 Kia EV4 isn’t just another electric sedan; it’s Kia’s way of shaking up the EV market by offering affordability, range, and cutting-edge tech.

The EV4’s Price Will Make Other Automakers Sweat

Currently, the biggest problem with electric cars is cost. Unless you’re willing to spend over $50,000, your options are limited to compact EVs with short range or outdated models with minimal tech.

Kia is solving that problem with the EV4, expected to start at under $40,000, making it one of the most affordable long-range EVs on the market.

Model	Estimated Starting Price (CAD)	Estimated Range
Kia EV4	$39,000 – $45,000	380 – 500 km
Tesla Model 3	$54,990	438 – 567 km
Hyundai Ioniq 6	$54,999	412 – 581 km
Polestar 2	$54,950	435 – 550 km
