Kia Ev4 ran 6,200 miles in nurburgring and wouldn’t die it

• Kia smells EV4 on Nürburgring for the test of torture of the killer.
• After 6,200 miles of floors and fast charging DC, the electric sedan simply did not die.
• After the equivalent of 160,000 miles, the battery health status was still 95%.

Hyundai and Kia got a bad rap for reliability at the age of 90, of which both brands have been trying to break free for decades. One way they did this is testing the stress of absolute life from their cars, especially new platforms of vehicles, such as the new 2026 Kia EV4.

To see how well it would work under the worst worst conditions, Kia has decided to move EV4 to the border by submitting a small electric car to 68,000 miles of agony, including unnecessarily aggressive (and also famous) 6,200 miles of batteries.

And you know what? It wouldn’t die.

This massive slogan around the Green Hell was not supposed to be a meter of economic car “around” the ring. Instead, it was a test of how to find out how well the EV4 battery would hold a very unbearable test that was supposed to identify any weaknesses or points of failure in engineering. This means that electrical, mechanical and thermal tests were to the maximum when the car zipped around the track.

It wasn’t just to run speed on the highway. Specifically, KIA engineers launched a sedan between 90 and 95% of the performance for the test entity. This is a kind of mad, Becuse just think about how much stress on your entire vehicle you virtually floors for 6,200 million. The driving tract components are under constant load, springs are suspended and suspension of components works overtime to handle high speeds.

Among each during the car was subjected to “hypercharging” (probably reference at the new 150 kW Fast N charging station, which has just been installed in Nürburgring), which means not only a car that was tortured at high speed, but its 400-volt also quickly loaded on Oblivion.

So what does it do so impressive?

After 74,200 miles of testing – includes 68,000 miles of clean road tests and 6,200 miles of Nürburgring Terror – Kia says that the Little EV4 battery was still in an incredible 95% state of health.

The automaker says it is probably also a “light” number, because the 6,200 miles test was equivalent to 93,205 miles of “customer conditions” (which means that for each mile Kia Eva manages 90-95% of power, it is the equivalent of normal Switzerland.

It is now worth mentioning that the abuse of batteries is the only thing that causes degradation. In fact, the battery age is one of the fastest factors contributing to the health of batteries, especially in the packaging of lithium -ion phosphate (LFP). So the character you see from Kia actually does not stop long -term degradation along the entire length of ownership. Yet it’s impressive.

The good news is that Kia really shows the world that EV is not just one -off cars. These battery -powered machines are evaluated for some serious abuse and with less movable parts than gas cars, it means less overall maintenance for owners who keep their cars for a long time. In fact, this is why it guarantees that EV4 retains at least 70% of the battery capacity after 100,000 miles or eight years.

Let’s be real. EV4 will be a hit for Kia even if it does not have a tax credit EV to support it and is the impact of tariffs. The car boasts up to 391 million range (WLTP Cycle in Europe) and the expected initial price brand of only $ 39,000 in the US

Now connect it to a battery that will stand up to even the hardest, DC-fast charge? Sold.
