Kia to showcase EV4 and EV5 at exclusive ‘Electric Experience’ events

Kia is giving fleets and drivers an exclusive opportunity to see the new EV4 and EV5 in the flesh at its upcoming nationwide events.

The Electric Experience roadshow runs from 8 July to 2 November 2025

The ‘Electric Experience’ roadshow runs from 8 July to 2 November 2025, with the events moving across the UK between dealerships.

The programme gives customers their first chance to see the full Kia EV range, including the EV4 and EV5 for the first time, alongside the EV3, EV6 and EV9. The events also offer the opportunity to speak to experts about making the switch to an EV.

The EV4 and EV5 are Kia’s newest additions to its growing range of fully electric models.

The EV4, unveiled at the brand’s EV Day event in Spain in February 2025, offers a choice of hatchback and saloon forms, built on Kia’s 400V Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) that also underpins Kia and Hyundai’s other EVs.

It will be available with a choice of 58.3kWh or 81.4kWh battery packs, offering a range of up to 391 miles on a single charge, while the vehicle is powered by a front-mounted 204hp electric motor.

The brand promises market-leading convenience and connectivity through features such as the 30-inch combined widescreen display connected car Navigation Cockpit, which incorporates 12.3-inch, 5.3-inch and 12.3-inch screens. The EV4 will also come with over-the-air updates and leading-edge in-car content streaming and connectivity services, including YouTube and Netflix.

The vehicle also offers two dedicated vehicle modes to be used when stationary, Rest Mode and Theatre Mode. When in Rest Mode, the driver and front passenger can recline the relaxation seats and utilise the mood lamp to create “a serene and peaceful atmosphere”. When in Theatre Mode, the vehicle uses the wide-screen display, interior ambient lighting and eight-speaker sound system to enjoy “an exceptional viewing experience”.

Driver comfort and convenience features include a rotating armrest, a sliding table console, maximised seating space in the first and second rows, and claimed largest-in-class luggage space of 490 litres (435 litres for the hatchback).

Latest ADAS functionality will deliver the Drive Wise advanced driver assistance system which detects hazardous situations through a combination of cameras and radars, and assists the driver in safe driving and manoeuvring.

The EV5 SUV will also be on hand at the Kia Electric Experience events. Built, as with the EV4, on the brand’s all-electric E-GMP platform, it’s designed for “a new era of electric mobility with a distinctive and stylish SUV design to offer a practical and versatile interior space for five people”.

The interior draws inspiration from the larger EV9 and offers an extensive space “that is closer in concept and execution to a home ‘lounge’ than a traditional car cabin”.

The long-range model will feature an 81.4kWh battery and 218hp front motor. Driving range hasn’t been announced yet but “will be tailored to meet market demands” while a regenerative braking system along with an i-Pedal system will offer single-pedal driving.

As with the EV4, the electric SUV comes with the connected car Navigation Cockpit infotainment system with a trio of screens and supports over-the-air software updates. It’s also equipped with an array of the latest active safety technologies, the brand’s new-gen Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and seven airbags in total.

UK specifications and pricing for both the EV4 and EV5 will be revealed in early Q3 – but fleets seeking to see the vehicles in the flesh at the Kia Electric Experience events can find out the schedule and reserve their place here.
