The future of electric driving is about to get a major upgrade. Kia has officially unveiled the revolutionary 2026 Kia EV4, its first-ever all-electric sedan, and the team at Northland Kia is excited to announce it's heading to Canada! For drivers in Calgary and across Alberta looking for a blend of stunning design, impressive range, and next-generation technology, the EV4 is set to redefine the electric sedan market.
Set to arrive in early 2026, this groundbreaking vehicle challenges the dominance of SUVs in the EV space, offering a stylish, practical, and affordable option for sedan lovers.

A Bold New Look for Alberta's Roads
Inspired by Kia's 'Opposites United' design philosophy, the EV4 boasts a look that is both futuristic and timeless. Its sporty, fastback silhouette, low nose, and signature Star Map LED lighting create an unforgettable presence. The modern design isn't just for show; with a drag coefficient as low as 0.23 Cd, its aerodynamics are engineered for maximum efficiency.
Inside, the EV4 offers a spacious, minimalist cabin designed around the driver. The open-concept layout features a stunning combined widescreen display, a sleek two-spoke steering wheel, and high-quality, comfortable materials. With ample passenger and cargo space, the EV4 is as practical for daily commutes in Calgary as it is for weekend getaways.
Power and Range to Conquer Your Commute and Beyond
The 2026 Kia EV4 is built on Kia’s dedicated Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), offering two battery choices for Canadian drivers:
-
Standard Range (58.3 kWh): Featured in the Light trim, offering an estimated 378 km of range.
-
Long Range (81.4 kWh): Available on Wind, GT-Line, and higher trims, delivering up to an impressive 531 km of estimated range.
The EV4 also introduces Kia's i-Pedal 3.0, an intelligent regenerative braking system that allows for one-pedal driving, recapturing energy to maximize your range. Plus, with the available Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) feature, your EV4 can act as a mobile generator, perfect for powering laptops, lights, or small appliances while camping or during a power outage.
Smart, Safe, and Connected Driving
Kia has packed the EV4 with cutting-edge technology to enhance your driving experience. The centerpiece is the connected car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC), which houses dual 12.3-inch screens and a 5-inch climate display in one seamless, nearly 30-inch unit. With wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, Over-the-Air (OTA) updates, and available Digital Key 2.0, your vehicle stays connected and current.
