The future of electric driving just got a major upgrade. At the highly anticipated 2025 Kia EV Day, three remarkable new models stole the spotlight: the Kia EV4, the Kia PV5, and the bold Concept EV2. Each one offers a fresh glimpse into the next generation of electric vehicles, blending exciting designs, smart technologies, and real-world practicality. For Calgary drivers ready to embrace the EV future, Kia’s new lineup looks more thrilling than ever.
The EV4 brings the sedan back in a way that feels anything but ordinary. With sharp lines, a bold stance, and a futuristic front-end design, it immediately commands attention. Designed for city drivers and commuters, the EV4 promises strong efficiency, quick acceleration, and impressive range. Inside, the cabin feels more like a modern tech lounge, offering a wide digital display, eco-friendly materials, and smart voice-command systems.
Its battery options include a 58.3 kWh standard and an 81.4 kWh long-range pack, delivering up to 630 kilometres (WLTP) of driving range. With an ultra-low 0.23 drag coefficient, 150 kW motor, and rapid 10-80% charging in just 31 minutes, it blends performance with practicality. Added features like V2L, V2G capability, and advanced chassis tuning ensure a refined and dynamic ride. A Canadian release is expected in early 2025.
At first glance, the Kia PV5 may look like a stylish van—but it's much more than that. Built for flexibility, the PV5 is Kia's next step into the world of Purpose-Built Vehicles (PBVs). Whether it's carrying passengers, transporting cargo, or serving as a ride-share shuttle, the PV5 is designed to adapt.
It rides on a new EV platform optimized for commercial use, promising long driving ranges, ultra-fast charging, and lower operational costs for businesses. Tech-wise, it will offer autonomous driving features, seamless digital connectivity, and an interior layout that can be customized depending on your needs. The PV5 could be a game-changer for Calgary businesses looking to green their fleets without sacrificing practicality.
If the EV4 and PV5 are bold statements, Concept EV2 is about making EV ownership accessible to all. Compact and playful, the EV2 targets young urban drivers who want electric power without the high price tag. Its clean, youthful design, practical range, and focus on affordability make it a standout in Kia's growing EV portfolio.
Though it remains a concept for now, the EV2 hints at an important part of Kia's future plans: ensuring everyone — not just luxury buyers — can join the EV revolution.
Across these new models, Kia is introducing next-generation technologies that make driving flexible, safer, and more enjoyable. Expect smarter digital displays, over-the-air software updates, augmented reality navigation, and customizable user experiences tailored to each driver's preferences. Enhanced battery technologies will also deliver quicker charging times and better range estimates, making EV ownership more practical for all climates, including Alberta's colder seasons.
Safety continues to be a big focus, too. Features like improved autonomous driving systems, smarter collision-avoidance tech, and advanced vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications show that Kia isn't just focused on fun — it's committed to building vehicles that protect their passengers and improve urban mobility.
Kia’s electric vision isn’t just about the future — it’s built on real success today. The Kia EV6, for example, earned titles like 2023 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year and multiple IIHS Top Safety Pick+ awards. With that pedigree, expectations for the EV4, PV5, and EV2 are sky-high, and based on what was revealed at 2025 EV Day, Kia looks ready to exceed them again.
Official Canadian release dates for the EV4, PV5, and EV2 haven’t been announced yet. However, early predictions suggest we could start seeing the EV4 and PV5 hit showrooms early next year or later in 2025. For Calgary drivers looking to upgrade to something smarter, greener, and more exciting, keeping an eye on Kia’s upcoming announcements will be worth it.
