Overview
The 2026 Kia EV4 Air Standard Range is a fully electric five-seat sedan with front-wheel drive. It's priced from $49,990 RRP, which means before on-road costs like rego and stamp duty. You get a claimed 456km of range on the WLTP test from a 58.3kWh battery, with DC fast charging that peaks at 140kW, plus 490 litres of boot space with the seats up. Towing is limited to 500kg braked, so it's not the pick if you plan to pull a decent-sized trailer or van. It suits someone after an electric sedan for daily driving and the odd longer run, with a usable boot for the weekly shop.

P-plate vehicle rules, our reading
P-plate OK in all states and territories we cover. This reads the manufacturer's power and tare mass against each state's published rule.
- NSW: under the 130 kW per tonne line on tare mass. Transport for NSW P1 and P2 vehicle search
- VIC: under the 130 kW per tonne line on tare mass. VicRoads probationary vehicles database

A rating belongs to the exact variant ANCAP tested and is never carried across to a grade or a build year it does not cover. A rating older than six years is marked expired because ANCAP’s own test has moved on.

The 2026 Kia EV4 Earth is the long-range middle grade of Kia's electric sedan, with an 81.4kWh battery good for 612km WLTP combined at 14.9kWh/100km, which is a genuinely long legs figure for the money. It makes 150kW and 283Nm through the front wheels, carries 490 litres of boot space, tows 1,000kg braked and comes with autonomous emergency braking standard and a seven-year unlimited-kilometre warranty. Worth knowing: the surround-view camera is a GT-Line item rather than an Earth one, and this is a low sedan rather than a crossover, so check rear headroom and your driveway clearance on the test drive.
