Kia has revealed a trio of performance-focused EVs at the 2026 Brussels Motor Show, aimed at making electric motoring more exciting.
The new Kia EV3 GT, EV4 GT and EV5 GT all boast added power and dynamic enhancements to satisfy keen drivers. The models also feature GT-exclusive drive modes and electronically controlled suspension.
“Our new electric Kia GT models prove that electrification can be emotional and resolute,” said Soohang Chang, president and CEO of Kia Europe.
Chang promises the new models will “deliver an engaging, confidence-inspiring drive, combining the instant responsiveness of electric power with sporty character and all-purpose capability.”
New Kia GT models in detail
The new Kia EV3 GT compact SUV and Kia EV4 GT hatchback and fastback models all share common underpinnings and mechanical systems.
With 81.4kWh batteries, each develops an exciting 292hp, which is delivered to all four wheels. Zero to 62mph takes as little as 5.6 seconds.
New 20-inch alloy wheels are shod with performance-oriented tyres. A GT drive mode maximises power delivery and steering response, also priming the suspension and altering the in-car displays.
Both vehicles have active sound design and a ‘Virtual Gear Shift’ (VGS) system for greater driver engagement.
Inside, the EV3 GT and EV4 GT have semi-bucket seats inspired by the Kia EV9 GT. The EV3 GT has neon interior accents, while the EV4 GT gains a unique three-spoke steering wheel.
The new Kia EV5 GT family SUV has even more power: 305hp, again distributed between all four wheels. Its electronically controlled suspension features a ‘road preview’ system, and it rides on premium Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres.
Production of the new Kia GT models is set to begin in the spring. More information – including the all-important EV range figures, along with individual model prices – will follow closer to the launch.
