The EV4’s ~30-inch total combined wide-screen display [6] – comprised of dual 12.3-inch screens and five-inch climate display – serves as the face of Kia’s connected car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC). “This tech-forward interface sets a high watermark for the in-car content experience, with connectivity and entertainment features that may be upgraded remotely with software enhancements delivered through over-the-Air (OTA) updates. Additionally, this innovative setup enables customers to apply available display themes across the cockpit, such as their favorite NBA team, for a personalized cockpit aesthetic. The EV4 also offers wireless Apple Carplay [10] and Android Auto [11],” Kia said.

“The driver can experience a more immersive relationship with the EV4 by way of Kia’s AI Assistant. [12] This system utilizes machine learning to achieve a higher level of organic interaction and greater voice recognition between the driver and the vehicle.

“Other key comfort and convenience features include standard dual-zone automatic temperature control with rear A/C vents, acoustic windshield, and optional heated/ventilated front seats [13] with driver side memory and heated steering wheel,” Kia said.
