Quick Takeaways
- They expand Kia’s electric GT portfolio in Europe with three performance-focused EVs.
- They combine high-output AWD drivetrains with everyday usability and advanced chassis tech.
Kia GT Electric Performance Models were officially expanded in Europe as Kia Europe confirmed the debut of the new EV3 GT, EV4 GT and EV5 GT at the 2026 Brussels Motor Show. The move strengthens Kia’s electric performance portfolio, combining high-output drivetrains with daily-usable electric mobility for European customers.
These Kia GT Electric Performance Models bring together upgraded hardware and a purpose-built GT-focused electric vehicle ecosystem designed to enhance both driving excitement and everyday usability. The package includes performance drive modes, electronically controlled chassis systems, adaptive digital lighting, customized user interfaces, and sport-tuned sound profiles to create a more immersive driving experience.
Kia GT Electric Performance Models introduce next-generation EV dynamics
The EV3 GT and EV4 GT share an all-wheel-drive dual-motor configuration delivering a combined 215 kW of power, paired with an 81.4 kWh battery. This setup allows both models to balance strong acceleration with efficient electric range, while GT-specific tuning improves responsiveness and handling.
Key technical highlights include:
The EV3 GT applies this performance package to the compact SUV segment, combining its upright stance with sport-focused chassis calibration and distinctive GT interior styling. In contrast, the EV4 GT uses the same drivetrain in hatchback and fastback body styles, giving buyers a sleeker, more aerodynamic performance EV option.
Kia GT Electric Performance Models expand with EV5 GT
The EV5 GT takes the performance strategy further with an enhanced AWD system and electronically controlled suspension that incorporates road preview technology. This allows the vehicle to anticipate surface conditions and adjust damping in real time, improving both comfort and dynamic stability. GT-exclusive exterior and interior details further differentiate the EV5 GT from standard versions.
Together, the three models reflect Kia’s broader push to bring high-performance characteristics into its electric lineup while preserving practicality for daily driving.
Production of the EV3 GT, EV4 GT and EV5 GT is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026, with market launch timings to be announced closer to the start of sales, positioning Kia’s new GT electric models as a major addition to the European EV performance segment.
