Yahoo Autos Kia EV4 concept is an electric liftback that could make you love sedans again
SEOUL — You guys like buzzwords? Good, because the Kia EV4 is full of ‘em. At the concept’s unveiling in South Korea this week, Karim Habib, Kia’s head of global design, said the EV4 “shifts the paradigm of sedan typology.” All we know is, it’s a low-slung four-door with a long liftback and a massive rear overhang. And yes, it’s headed for production.
Sedans continue to fall out of fashion, but Kia doesn’t want to abandon the segment entirely. That’s why, with the EV4, Kia chose to go with a liftback look, making a car with traditional sedan proportions but a large cargo area that’s hinged at the roof. It’s for sure a weird car, especially with that exaggerated rear overhang. Also, those taillights: Anyone else seeing Cadillac CT4 back there?
