2027 Kia EV4 GT Hatchback AWD has 288 hp, on sale in Canada

2027 Kia EV4 GT Hatchback is already selling in Europe and Canada with 288 hp and 314 miles WLTP, but has no official US listing or MSRP on Kia USA so far.

The 2027 Kia EV4 GT Hatchback already exists and is selling in Europe and Canada in 2026, but there is no official listing or MSRP on Kia USA so far.

The model is Kia’s electric hot hatch. Concept in 2023, production shown at EV Day 2025, and GT version launched in 2026 with C-segment hatch body. While not confirmed for the US, it lines up against US-available sport EVs like Tesla Model 3 Performance, Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and Ford Mustang Mach-E GT.

In the US the situation is not officially disclosed. Trims, equipment, EPA range, MSRP, cargo and safety ratings are not listed on Kia’s American site.

What does the 2027 Kia EV4 GT Hatchback deliver?

The 2027 Kia EV4 GT Hatchback delivers a dual-motor AWD setup focused on performance. The international spec uses an 81.4 kWh battery and AWD.

Total output is 288 hp with 345 lb-ft. The 0-62 mph sprint is 5.6 seconds and top speed is 106 mph.

WLTP range is rated up to 505 km, about 314 miles WLTP. EPA range is not officially disclosed. Fast charging from 10% to 80% takes about 31 minutes on high-power DC.

Inside it brings a triple-screen layout with 12.3-inch + 5.3-inch + 12.3-inch displays, HDA 2.0, FCA 2.0, BCA and OTA updates. Cargo volume is inconsistent across Kia regional pages, 435 liters (15.4 cu-ft) in Ireland and 577 liters (20.4 cu-ft) in UK specs, so the GT cargo figure remains not consistently confirmed.

As preliminary reference for the regular hatch, length is 174.4 inches, height 58.5 inches, wheelbase 111.0 inches and curb weight around 3,968 lbs.

Pricing shows up at €57,840 in Germany and CA$58,595 in Canada with an all-in of CA$61,344. No official US MSRP has been published, so insurance, charging costs and incentives cannot be calculated for the US.

What does it mean for US buyers?

The 2027 Kia EV4 GT Hatchback means a true electric hot hatch with 288 hp, AWD and more than 300 miles WLTP exists, but without a US sales channel it is not available to order.

The biggest draw is compact performance with dual-motor grip and fast charging. The biggest barrier is lack of EPA rating, official pricing and dealer support in the US.

For now US shoppers can only watch the European and Canadian rollout for hints on a possible future US decision.

Would you take a 288-hp electric hot hatch over a Model 3 Performance if Kia brought the EV4 GT to the US?
