Kia EV4 Hatchback And Sedan: What’s The Styling Approach?

The EV4 will be joining Kia’s compact EV fleet in the hatchback styling. But it also will be launched in a slightly bigger Sedan form factor. Kia is making a strategic move by launching the EV4 sedan in dual form factors. It will essentially help the brand categorize it into specific segments which wasn’t the case with the EV6. To recap, EV6’s unconventional design approach makes it difficult to fit into any designated segment.

Upfront, the EV4’s nose and overall facia looks similar to the EV6. The sloping bonnets get complemented with the vertical LED headlamp setup. Kia has kept the overall design approach minimalistic with the no fancy cuts or creases on the doors. The EV4 gets flush-fit door handles which is also used on the EV6.

MG Motor India Revises Free Charging Limit On Windsor EV

At the Windsor EV launch last year, MG Motor India announced the most exciting offer for the buyers — free 1 year charging at official MG charging stations. As a part of the offer, Windsor EV buyers could charge their vehicle at any authorized MG EV charging starting for free. This offer was applicable for the early bird customers taking a delivery before 31 December 2024.

In a shocking move, the company has now revised this free 1 year charging offer on the Windsor EV. Even the early bird customers eligible for this offer gets impacted by the new restrictions. But why exactly MG Motor India planned to revise the offer? Unfortunately, no official statement on the same has been released.

That said, instead of the full 1 year of free charging, MG Windsor EV owners will only be able to recharge their vehicles to 1000 units or 1,000 kWh for free. This cap of 1,000 units/ 1,000 kWh will be valid for a year. So, if you are one of those WIndsor EV buyers who have made the purchase last year and have already consumed 1,000 units of charging, you won’t get any additional free charging from now on.

Impact On Users

If we do the calculations, the Windsor EV real life range stands between 250- 270 km. This translates to somewhere around 6.5 km range per unit. And for 1,000 units, this EV will make a run of up to 6,500 km. Since this EV is being pitched as a daily as well long distance commuter, the average free charging covering 6,500 km a year is pretty less. As enticing the offer sounded when announced, it certainly seems a bummer for buyers who finalized the purchase based on it.
