Description:
Is the base version of the Kia EV4 already enough for daily driving? In this review, I take a detailed look at the Kia EV4 with the small 58 kWh battery and show what features are missing compared to higher trims — and whether you actually need them in real life.
We talk about the manual door handles, missing heat pump, non-electric seats, charging speeds, efficiency, comfort, panoramic roof, liftgate and much more. Is it worth saving €6,000 compared to the larger battery version?
