Kia presents the next chapter of its GT line-up at the 2026 Brussels Motor Show with the reveal of three new fully electric models: EV3 GT, EV4 GT, and EV5 GT. This announcement marks a major step in Kia’s GT strategy to pair emotional driving with advanced digital experiences across its growing EV line-up.
Kia’s latest GT models feature dynamic hardware enhancements paired with an expanded EV GT ecosystem. This includes GT-exclusive drive modes, electronically controlled chassis systems, digital lighting, personalised interfaces, Kia Upgrades, and performance-themed soundscapes. The result is an experience designed for performance, as well as everyday engagement, comfort, and emotional connection.
“Our new electric Kia GT models prove that electrification can be emotional and resolute,” said Soohang Chang, President and CEO of Kia Europe. “The EV3 GT, EV4 GT, and EV5 GT will deliver an engaging, confidence-inspiring drive, combining the instant responsiveness of electric power with sporty character and all-purpose capability.”
The EV3 GT and EV4 GT are built on a common technical foundation, translating Kia’s GT philosophy into three body styles that are uncommon for these segments: a compact SUV, as well as a sporty Hatchback and a sleek Fastback.
Both models feature a 215kW dual-motor AWD system, an 81.4kWh battery, an electronically controlled suspension with GT-specific tuning, improved cornering stability, and 20-inch alloy wheels with performance-oriented tyres.
GT-specific design elements emphasise its sporty character. These include semi bucket seats inspired by the EV9 GT, distinctive interior neon accents, and ambient lighting linked to drive modes.
The EV4 GT builds on the EV4’s ‘Drive with an Edge’ positioning, designed for those who favour dynamic driving over traditional SUVs. The GT variant takes this concept even further, delivering an enhanced level of sportiness and agility.
The model applies the same GT hardware and drivetrain concept to lower, sportier Hatchback and Fastback body styles. The EV4 GT offers an even more agile and road-focused interpretation of the GT philosophy.
The upcoming EV5 features an 225kW dual-motor AWD powertrain with enhanced power and torque, a GT-specific chassis configuration, including electronically controlled suspension with road preview system, and sporty tyres.
