Kia Concept EV4 Is a Wild Take On the Traditional Sedan

---

• * The Kia Concept EV4 debuted in Korea at Kia’s EV Day event.
• * Call it a sedan, call it a hatchback, just don’t call it late for dinner.
• *We’d say it’s a pretty safe bet that the EV4 will make its way to the U.S.

When is a sedan not a sedan? When it’s the Kia Concept EV4. Yes, this electric concept has four doors and the proportions we expect from a sedan—and don’t get us wrong, we’re glad to see this body style remain relevant for longer—but Kia claims it’s an entirely new kind of sedan. Either way, hey, it’s not a crossover!

The Kia Concept EV4 is part of the automaker’s strategy to release a series of electric vehicles across a greater swath of the vehicular kingdom. Alongside the Concept EV3 that also debuted at Kia’s EV Day event in Korea, the EV4 promises to break into smaller segments, now that it’s unveiled larger battery-electrics including the EV5, EV6, and EV9. And while nearly the entire portfolio consists of crossovers, the EV4 toes the line between sedan and hatchback in the hopes to re-convert some utility-vehicle owners who still want to maximize spaciousness.
