The government scheme Mon Leasing Électrique 2025 welcomes an unexpected guest: the Kia EV4.
Hardly launched, Kia’s 100% electric compact sedan joins the program at €189 per month, with no upfront payment, thanks to a public subsidy of €7,000.
The initiative may come as a surprise. Funded by France, this program designed to make electric cars accessible to low-income households might have seemed reserved for national manufacturers. However, it is indeed a Korean vehicle made in Europe, in Slovakia, that finds its place in this limited catalog. A reminder that the electric market is now open to all players, provided they meet the imposed technical and environmental criteria.
The selected version is the EV4 Air, equipped with a 58.3 kWh battery. With an announced range of 440 km, it stands among the top contenders among eligible models. Far from being just a city car, it can handle longer trips, including with family.
A deserved place?
The EV4 also emphasizes interior space, with a wheelbase of 2.82 m and a trunk of 435 liters, comparable to higher segments. This makes it a potential primary vehicle for a household, unlike many other cars in the program that are limited to a secondary role.
Its technological features are impressive: triple panoramic screen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, adaptive cruise control, rearview camera, voice control with AI assistant, and “Plug & Charge” function. Like all Kia models, the EV4 comes with a 7-year or 150,000 km warranty.
