KIA has revealed UK pricing and specifications for the EV4 Fastback, a four-door saloon-bodied sibling to the EV4.

The EV4 Fastback starts from £40,895, offering a range of up to 380 miles on a single charge, and is available exclusively in ‘GT-Line' and ‘GT-Line S' trims.

The EV4 represents the electrification of yet another important vehicle segment in the UK by Kia, as the brand introduces its first ever electric saloon car.

The brand's first ever four-door electric car, the Fastback is based on Kia's EV architecture, adapted for the EV4's low profile and compact bodystyle.

Both the Kia EV4 Fastback ‘GT-Line' and ‘GT-Line S' are offered solely with the 81.4kWh long range battery pack, offering a range of 380 miles on a single charge.

The Fastback, alike its hatchback sibling, is powered by a single front-mounted electric motor applying 201bhp and 283Nm torque through the front wheels.

The EV4 Fastback is capable of accelerating from 0-62mph in as little as 7.9 seconds, on to a top speed of 105mph.

The Fastback bodystyle allows the EV4 a boot space of 490 litres and the car is 300mm longer and 5mm lower than the EV4 in hatchback form, with the difference in length coming from a 300mm rear overhang needed for the swooping roofline and long-tail side profile.

The EV4 is able to charge from 10-to-80 per cent in just 29 minutes (31 minutes for long range models) when plugged into a 350kW DC fast charger, and in just 5 hours and 20 minutes on an 11kW AC charger (7 hours and 15 minutes for models with the long range battery).

The Kia EV4 Fastback is equipped with a wide variety of the brand's latest and greatest technological advancements as standard, just like its five-door counterpart. This includes Kia's new connected car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC), integrated into the dual 12.3-inch display and infotainment screens.

The EV4's displays also integrate an additional 5.3-inch climate control touchscreen, accompanied by physical rocker switches on the centre facia to control heating and ventilation.

While the EV4 is offered in ‘Air' trim, the entry point to the EV4 Fastback is the ‘GT-Line' trim level priced from £40,895, which features a more sporty design and appearance.

‘GT-Line' models are available exclusively with the long range 81.4kWh battery pack, offering a range of up to 380 miles on a single charge.

Crowning the EV4 Fastback line-up is the ‘GT-Line S' variant, again exclusively available with a long range 81.4kWh battery pack and offering a range of 380 miles on a single charge.

It is priced from £45,395 and features a number of additions including front sunroof with tilting/sliding function, LED headlights with small cube design and adaptive driving beamand a head-up display.

The Kia EV4 Air is priced from £34,695 and is fitted with a 58.3kWh battery.
