Kia EV4 (78kWh) Long-Term Review: 1,500 km Real-World Experience – Strengths & Weaknesses

From Battery Life.

Description:
Two weeks and around 1,500 km with the Kia EV4 (81 kWh large battery).
Highway driving, daily commuting, faster Autobahn runs, city traffic – real-world usage.

In this video I talk openly about:
πŸš— Driving dynamics & front-wheel drive behavior
πŸ”‹ Real-world range impressions
⚑ AC and DC charging experience
πŸ“± Software & the new app
🚨 Driver assistance systems in daily use
πŸ“¦ Rear space & trunk practicality
πŸ”Š Noise & comfort
πŸ€” The overall β€œtheme” of this car

There are many positives – and some things that genuinely annoyed me.
This is not a first drive. It’s a proper everyday ownership-style review.
