The 2026 Kia EV4 brings advanced safety and connectivity features to the electric sedan segment. From the entry-level Light trim to the feature-rich GT-Line Limited, this all-electric sedan delivers driver-assistance technologies and digital conveniences that make every journey safer and more connected.
Whether you're new to electric vehicles or upgrading from a previous generation, understanding the technology offerings across the EV4 range helps you choose the trim that best matches your driving needs. Here's what makes the EV4's tech and safety features stand out.
Core Safety Systems Standard Across All Trims
Every 2026 Kia EV4 comes equipped with a comprehensive array of safety technologies as standard equipment. The foundation begins with eight airbags, including dual front advanced airbags, dual front and rear seat-mounted side airbags, and full-length side curtain airbags.
Electronic stability and control systems include ABS with Electronic Stability Control, Downhill Brake Control, and Hill-start Assist Control. These systems work together to maintain vehicle stability in challenging driving conditions - whether you're navigating steep grades or sudden manoeuvres.
Driver-assistance features standard on all trims include Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 1.5 with car, pedestrian, and cyclist detection plus junction turning capability. This system actively monitors the road ahead and can apply emergency braking if it detects an imminent collision. High Beam Assist automatically manages your headlights, while Highway Driving Assist 1 provides steering support on major roadways.
Blind-Spot and Rear Monitoring Technologies
The EV4's standard safety suite includes both Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist and Blind-Spot Collision Warning systems. These technologies monitor the areas alongside your vehicle that can be difficult to see in traditional mirrors, alerting you to vehicles in adjacent lanes and actively intervening if you attempt to change lanes when it's unsafe.
Rear Cross-traffic Collision-avoidance Assist and Rear Cross-traffic Collision Warning protect you when reversing out of parking spaces. The system detects approaching vehicles from either side and can automatically apply the brakes to prevent a collision.
Additional standard safety features include:
- Rearview camera with dynamic parking guidance
- Front and rear parking distance warning sensors
- Driver Attention Warning (monitors driving patterns and alerts you to signs of drowsiness)
- Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (recognizes posted speed limits)
- Safe Exit Assist (warns rear passengers if opening their door could be dangerous)
Connected Technology and Infotainment

The 2026 EV4's technology experience centres on dual 12.3-inch displays. The multimedia interface includes navigation, AM/FM/MP3 audio, HD Radio, and SiriusM satellite radio. A separate 12.3-inch TFT supervision cluster provides driver information, complemented by a dedicated 5-inch HVAC display for climate controls.
Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration allows smartphone connectivity without cables. The system supports Bluetooth and includes six speakers as standard, with steering-wheel-mounted audio controls. Kia Connect with Over the Air Updates ensures your vehicle's software stays current without requiring dealership visits.
The Smart Key with Push Button Start provides keyless entry and ignition. Front USB charging ports keep devices powered, while dual-zone automatic temperature control with rear air vents and rear floor heating ducts ensure comfort for all passengers.
Enhanced Safety Features on GT-Line Limited Trim
The GT-Line Limited trim elevate safety capabilities with Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2, an upgraded system that adds junction crossing detection, direct oncoming vehicle detection, lane change oncoming and side detection, plus driver steering assist and evasive steering assist.
Highway Driving Assist 2 offers enhanced lane-centring and adaptive cruise control capabilities on highways. The Blind View Monitor displays live video feeds from the side cameras in the instrument cluster when you activate your turn signals.
The Surround View Monitor provides a 360-degree bird's-eye view of your vehicle's surroundings, making parking and low-speed manoeuvring easier. Parking Collision Avoidance Assist - Reverse can automatically brake if it detects obstacles when backing up. Side Parking Distance Warning extends sensor coverage to include the sides of the vehicle.
Advanced Convenience Technologies
GT-Line Limited trim introduce Remote Smart Park Assist, allowing you to move your vehicle in or out of tight parking spaces using the key fob while standing outside the vehicle. The In Cabin Camera monitors the interior and can capture images if the vehicle's security system is triggered.
Digital Key 2.0 technology transforms your compatible smartphone into a vehicle key. You can unlock, lock, and start the EV4 using your phone, and remotely share digital keys with family members or friends while controlling their access levels. This feature works through NFC technology.
The GT-Line Limited adds Ambient Mood Lighting that allows you to customize the interior atmosphere with multiple colour options. The Harman/Kardon Premium Sound System delivers concert-quality audio through strategically positioned speakers.
Battery and Charging Technology
The Light trim features a 58.3 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery with a battery heating system for optimal performance in cold weather. Wind and higher trims upgrade to an 81.4 kWh battery pack, providing extended range for longer journeys. All models support 400V fast charging.
Wind trims and above include a heat pump system that improves energy efficiency by using ambient heat to warm the cabin instead of relying solely on battery power. This technology helps preserve range during cold weather operation. The Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability on GT-Line trim allows you to power external devices or equipment using the vehicle's battery.
Comfort and Convenience Features by Trim Level
The Light trim establishes a strong foundation with heated front seats, cloth upholstery, and manual front seat height adjusters. Wind trims add power driver seat adjustment with lumbar support, while Wind Premium introduces synthetic leather seating, a heated steering wheel, and a wide sunroof.
GT-Line models feature memory driver seats, a driver relaxation seat, power passenger seat adjustment, ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats.
Auto flush door handles on Wind Premium and above provide a sleek appearance and reduce aerodynamic drag. Rain-sensing wipers automatically adjust their speed based on precipitation intensity.
