Hot 2026 Kia EV4 GT teased

Kia has released the first full teaser of its upcoming EV4 GT electric hot hatch and used it to debuted the GT portfolio’s new development foil design.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the EV4 GT, but it is the first time we’ve seen it unobscured or officially.

Predictably sitting a little lower than the standard model and wearing the signature GT-spec lime green brake callipers, the all-new electric hot hatch could well be the attainable zero-emission performance car the world has been crying out for.

No concrete details of the vehicle were announced with the quartet of teaser images; Kia instead opted to detail its new GT prototype livery.

“The GT wrap hints at speed, emotion, and imagination while setting the stage for the next chapter of high-performance mobility,” the brand said.

“More than camouflage, the GT Wrap implies a dynamic and ever-evolving design language.”

The 2026 Kia EV4 GT will make its global debut next year and will be a shoo-in for the Australian market as the local GT portfolio evolves to welcome the updated EV6 GT and the massive EV9 GT.

With the former anticipated to eclipse the $100,000 mark, the EV4 GT will play a critical role as the entry point to the Korean performance range – alongside the related EV3 GT – similar to the old Cerato GT, albeit with a heap more power and performance.

Odds are the hot electric small car will still cost quite a bit more than the sub-$40,000, 150kW Cerato, however.
