Description:
Today I’m testing the Kia EV4 with the small 58 kWh battery on the German Autobahn at a constant 130 km/h (81 mph). This is a very basic version of the EV4 with 17-inch summer tires, no heat pump, no panoramic roof and no luxury extras. Perfect to see how efficient the car really is on a long highway drive.
We also take a look at consumption, comfort, charging performance and how the assistance systems behave at higher speeds.
