Description:
Today we test the Kia EV4 with the small 58 kWh battery at a constant 110 km/h (68 mph) on the German Autobahn. After the 130 km/h test, this drive focuses on efficiency and long-distance comfort at lower highway speeds.
This EV4 is a very basic version with 17-inch wheels, no heat pump and no luxury extras. We also talk about real-world consumption, traffic conditions, battery cooling and some strange software quirks during the drive.
