Here’s what’s known so far about Kia EV3 GT, EV4 GT, and EV5 GT (the full GT performance models — not “GT-Line” appearance trims).
Big picture
Kia premiered three new fully electric GT models at Brussels Motor Show 2026:
- EV3 GT (compact SUV)
- EV4 GT (hatchback + fastback)
- EV5 GT (mid-size SUV) (Mynewsdesk)
Kia says production starts in Q2 2026, with launch in autumn 2026. (Mynewsdesk)
Key specs (official “tentative” pre-homologation figures)
(Kia notes specs are tentative until EU type approval/homologation.) (Mynewsdesk)
Quick comparison
| Model | Drive | Power | Battery | 0–100 km/h | DC 10–80% | AC charging | Wheels/Tyres |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EV3 GT | Dual-motor AWD | 215 kW (145F + 70R) | 81.4 kWh | 5.7 s | 0:31 | 7:15 (11kW) / 3:55 (22kW) | 20″ / 245/40 R20 (Mynewsdesk) |
| EV4 GT | Dual-motor AWD | 215 kW (145F + 70R) | 81.4 kWh | 5.6 s | 0:31 | 7:15 (11kW) / 3:55 (22kW) | 20″ / 245/40 R20 (Mynewsdesk) |
| EV5 GT | Dual-motor AWD | 225 kW (155F + 70R) | 81.4 kWh | 6.2 s | 0:30 | 7:30 (11kW) / n/a (22kW) | 20″ / 255/45R20 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV (Mynewsdesk) |
Dimensions (useful for “size class”)
- EV3 GT: 4310×1850×1575 mm, wheelbase 2680 mm (Mynewsdesk)
- EV4 GT: 4450×1860×1485 mm, wheelbase 2820 mm (Mynewsdesk)
- EV5 GT: 4610×1875×1675–1680 mm, wheelbase 2750 mm (Mynewsdesk)
What makes them “GT” (hardware + software)
All three get a GT drive mode that changes throttle response, steering, suspension tuning, and the driver displays. (Mynewsdesk)
They also add:
- Electronically controlled suspension (GT-specific tuning). (Mynewsdesk)
- Virtual Gear Shift (VGS) + Active Sound Design (simulated shifts/sound — can be switched off). (Mynewsdesk)
- Digital Key 2.0, HUD, Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA Entry), Harman/Kardon audio, V2L (Vehicle-to-Load), i-Pedal 3.0, plus lots of “GT” interior bits (sport seats, GT steering wheel, GT UI). (Mynewsdesk)
Extra drivetrain/chassis tech (EV3 GT & EV4 GT)
- Kia lists e-torque vectoring in the features for EV3 GT and EV4 GT. (Mynewsdesk)
EV5 GT specific
- Adds suspension with a road preview system (reads the road ahead and preps damping). (Mynewsdesk)
Driver-assistance (ADAS) package (common list)
Kia lists a broad set including FCA 2, HDA2, LFA2, SCC2, blind-spot aids, surround view, parking collision avoidance, etc. (EV5 notes one item may be n/a in UK). (Mynewsdesk)
Range: what we know (and what we don’t)
Known
Kia has published range for the non-GT cars:
- EV3 up to 605 km (Long Range versions). (Kia)
- EV4 ranges up to about 625 km (Kia Sweden) / 630 km (Kia EU presales). (Kia)
Not yet published (for GT)
For EV3 GT / EV4 GT / EV5 GT, Kia’s GT press material above does not state WLTP range yet (homologation pending). (Mynewsdesk)
What you should expect: GT versions usually land lower WLTP than the FWD long-range cars because of AWD, stickier tyres, and performance tuning. Some media are estimating EV5 GT around ~480 km, but that’s not official. (WhichCar)
GT vs GT-Line (important!)
- GT-Line = styling/trim (sporty look, bigger wheels, etc.)
- GT = the proper performance model (dual motors, GT mode, VGS/sound, GT chassis, etc.) (Mynewsdesk)
What to watch next (the “missing pieces”)
These are the big items Kia still needs to publish for each market (Sweden/EU/UK):
- Final WLTP ranges (GT-specific) and consumption
- Peak DC charging power curve (they give time, but not max kW)
- Pricing + trims (EV3/EV4/EV5 GT price positioning vs GT-Line and competitors)
- Tow rating (often matters in Sweden/Nordics)
