Description:
After driving the Kia EV4 base version with the small 58 kWh battery for two weeks and over 1,300 km, here are my real thoughts about the car.
This is the almost base model with very few optional extras, so we talk about what features are missing, how the small battery performs, charging speed, comfort, consumption, software, battery preconditioning, climate controls and long-distance usability.
