2026 Kia EV4 Trims in Canada: Every Version Priced From $38,995 to $51,995

The 2026 Kia EV4 has arrived as the least-expensive dedicated electric vehicle in Canada — but only if you pick the right version. New Canadian pricing data compiled by Driving.ca shows all five EV4 trims now stretch from $38,995 for the base Light to $51,995 for the GT-Line Limited, a $13,000 spread that separates "cheapest EV in Canada" from "pricier than some rivals" depending on the badge on the trunk.

Here is the full Canadian lineup, before the $2,185 freight and PDI charge and before any provincial rebates:

The single biggest decision: 58 kWh or 81 kWh

Every EV4 shares the same 150-kW (201 hp, 209 lb-ft) front motor and single-speed transmission — the drivetrain split is the story. The base Light carries a 58.3-kWh battery rated at 391 km of range; every other trim gets the 81.4-kWh pack rated at up to 552 km in the Wind. Driving.ca's spec data puts the combined consumption at 1.9 Le/100 km for the Light and 2.0-2.1 Le/100 km for the bigger-battery cars.

The counterintuitive part: the longest-range EV4 is not the most expensive one. The $42,995 Wind out-ranges the $51,995 GT-Line Limited by 64 km, because the GT-Line's bigger 19-inch wheels (versus 17-inch on Light, 19-inch on uplevel trims) and equipment weight trim the rating to 488 km. Range seekers should shop the middle of the lineup, not the top.

What the money buys as you climb trims

• Light ($38,995): cloth seats, heated front seats, 17-inch alloys, 6-speaker audio, adaptive cruise — but no wireless charging pad and a manual (height/telescopic) steering column.
• Wind ($42,995): the big battery and 552 km of range, plus power-adjustable driver seat and synthetic leather.
• Wind Premium ($45,495): adds a sunroof, wireless charging, ventilated front seats and heated rear bench — at a 37 km range cost versus the Wind.
• GT-Line ($48,495): memory seats, garage door opener, rear radar-plus-camera parking aids.
• GT-Line Limited ($51,995): 8-speaker Harman/kardon audio and a 360-degree camera, on 19-inch wheels.

How the EV4 stacks up for Canadian buyers

Driving.ca's expert review calls the EV4 a compact four-door five-seater "aimed at those who want an EV but have to stay on budget," with an engaging driving feel and a cabin that looks better than the price suggests — but cargo space trails most rivals at 408 litres, there is no all-wheel drive at any trim "at least not yet," and every version is front-wheel drive. Against the Nissan Leaf the EV4 offers more legroom but less headroom; against the Tesla Model 3 it is marginally cheaper but not as powerful; and in its highest trim it matches the price of a top Subaru that carries 137 more horsepower and AWD.

One more Canadian quirk worth knowing: the EV4 is currently offered only north of the border — Kia decided against selling it in the United States, making this one of the few dedicated EVs that exists in the Canadian market and not the American one.

Warranty coverage is strong across all trims: 5 years/100,000 km comprehensive, 8 years/160,000 km on the battery.

Which trim is worth it?

The value story is the $42,995 Wind: maximum range, the uplevel battery, and synthetic leather, for $4,000 more than the base car. The Light is the headline generator at $38,995, but a 391-km rating shrinks in January. The GT-Line Limited's $51,995 sticker asks luxury-adjacent money for 488 km of range in a FWD sedan — that is the trim to skip unless the Harman/kardon and 360 camera are must-haves.
