The Kia EV4 is one of the most distinctive new electric cars on the road, at least in four-door Fastback form. The standard five-door hatchback is a touch more conventional, but the slim lights and chunky wheelarches - lifted from the successful EV3 and EV9 models - give the four-door a dramatic look with an extended boot at the back. This makes it look almost like an Art Deco streamliner car which helps it manage a range of up to 633km. Inside, it’s got plenty of space and plenty of quality, but it is a good bit pricier than the EV3 and the maximum charging speed is nothing to write home about.
