Description:
Two weeks and around 1,500 km with the Kia EV4 (81 kWh large battery).
Highway driving, daily commuting, faster Autobahn runs, city traffic – real-world usage.
In this video I talk openly about:
🚗 Driving dynamics & front-wheel drive behavior
🔋 Real-world range impressions
⚡ AC and DC charging experience
📱 Software & the new app
🚨 Driver assistance systems in daily use
📦 Rear space & trunk practicality
🔊 Noise & comfort
🤔 The overall “theme” of this car
There are many positives – and some things that genuinely annoyed me.
This is not a first drive. It’s a proper everyday ownership-style review.
💼 Sponsored Segment – Fleet Charging Solution
With Tronity, companies can accurately reimburse employees for home charging.
Automatic vehicle connection, transparent tracking and simple monthly billing for fleet managers.
