The Kia EV4 Fastback Long Range alongside these alternatives:
Performance
The Kia EV4 Fastback Long Range has a maximum power of 150 kW (204 hp / 201 bhp) and a total torque of 283 Nm (209 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 7.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 170 km/h (106 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 81.4 kWh and a net usable capacity of 78.0 kWh, with a 3.4 kWh buffer (4.2%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 343 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the maximum rated range is 625 km (388 miles). Depending on the configuration and options such as wheel size, the rated range can be as low as 595 km (370 miles). Larger wheels generally increase energy consumption and reduce range.
WLTP energy consumption is 12.5 kWh/100 km for the base configuration and 13.1 kWh/100 km for the highest-consumption configuration.
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 135 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 71 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 31 minutes at an average power of 105 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 10–71%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 95 kW over a session lasting about 30 minutes and 3 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 20 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 39 minutes, needing three charging stops from 11% to 64%, totaling 80 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 7 hours and 5 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
