The new compact electric KIA has not yet confirmed its EU environmental score, but already offers up to €5200 in bonuses.
Discount or advance on the CEE Bonus? For the customer, the outcome is fairly neutral, ultimately reducing the invoice. But in reality, the new KIA EV4 — not to be confused with the KIA EV4 Fastback manufactured in Asia — has not yet received (as of October 12, 2025) its European environmental score, which triggers its CEE Bonus rights in France.
Produced in Slovakia, the KIA EV4 meets all the requirements and will indeed be eligible for this ecological bonus, which can reach up to €4200 for all households. The South Korean manufacturer even states up to €5200 in CEE Bonus, but this is the maximum cap when your household has a… minimal income.

KIA EV4, a question of patience?
The first units of the EV4 manufactured in Slovakia rolled off the production line on August 20, 2025. The homologation process is underway, and KIA prefers not to waste time. For early adopters, the decision has been made that the CEE Bonus will be anticipated and paid directly by the dealerships.
Here are the legal details of the current offer valid until October 31, 2025: “CEE Bonus « Electric Mobility Boost » from CertiNergy SAS of €5200, advanced by your dealer to cover the first rental payment. This scheme is reserved for private customers under income conditions, subject to eligibility at the date of billing, at participating Kia distributors.“
Thus, even with a €4200 CEE Bonus, the KIA EV4 is already capable of offering a 49-month Long-Term Rental (LTR) for 347 euros/month after a first payment of 1347 euros (or 347 euros if the €5200 CEE Bonus is applied).
To do so, you can opt for the KIA EV4 in Air trim and standard range (58.3 kWh), priced at €38,290 before the CEE Bonus. It has 204 horsepower and a range of 440 km in WLTP mixed cycle. Despite its technological modernity, it is barely better than a Renault Megane E-Tech EV60, which is more affordable, better equipped, and manufactured in France.
