The Kia EV4 has become the first Kia model to qualify for the UK Government's maximum £3,750 Electric Car Grant (ECG), making one of the brand's newest electric vehicles even more accessible for both private motorists and fleet operators.

The announcement represents a significant milestone for Kia's growing electric vehicle line-up and reinforces the government's commitment to accelerating EV adoption across the UK.

With the enhanced grant now available on selected EV4 variants, customers can access Kia's latest electric hatchback from just £30,995 on-the-road, creating a compelling proposition for drivers looking to switch to electric.
