Introducing the new Kia EV5
Crafted to suit the lifestyles of modern families and individuals, the EV5 sits as medium-sized SUV in the Kia range.
As a dedicated electric vehicle, the EV5 is built upon Kia's Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) meaning this mid-sized, yet also compact SUV offers sharp performance, enhanced safety features, along with exceptional comfort.
Not forgetting, the EV5 also has a focus on excellent practicality, with the car offering seamless connectivity to make staying connected easy and safe. Kia EV5 is a smart choice for those wanting to embrace innovation in a fully-electric mobility solution.
Design and Practicality
The EV5 is another dedicated all-electric vehicle in the Kia line-up, following on from the EV6 and EV9 and EV3. Naturally it sits below the EV9 and EV6 in terms of size, whilst offers more space than the EV3.
Styling is similar to that of the larger EV9, being easily identifiable as Kia, with the new sharp design language, with the interior also drawing inspiration from the larger sibling, wiht a spacious, lounge-inspired vibe.
Five doors, five seats and a 513-litre boot space come as standard, with with the ability to create a camping friendly space, thanks to rear folding flat seats - boosting practicality, versatility and of course space to 1,714 litres.
Technology and Safety
Being a dedicated BEV (battery electric vehicle) technology is intuitive and state-of-the-art, with the Kia EV5 receiving the latest infotainment and connectivity technologies Kia has to offer.
Therefore, a sharp 12.3-inch infotainment screen houses all the EV5's relevant settings, with over-the-air updates possible, ensuring the system always feels ulta-modern and up to date. A digital instrument cluster, and climate control display further showcase the digital and technological presentation.
And as for safety, there's many driver assistance features available on the EV5, such as Highway Driving Assist 2 and Remote Parking Assist 2 meaning driving the EV5 is as pleasurable as it safe.
Engines and Performance
In what is seemingly becoming a more common move, the days of complicated powertrain lineups are long-gone with the launch of the EV5, as all variants come equipped with the same front-wheel drive, all-electric unit. An additional benefit of this move is that you won't have to dig any deeper into your wallets to access the very best powertrain on offer.
Equipped with an 89.4kWh battery, the EV5 produces 215bhp and up to 329 miles of range from a single charge. To put that into context, you're able to complete a round trip from London to Birmingham and still have spare capacity for a day's worth of local chores.
This isn't a car that's been ported over from a traditionally-powered model either, as the EV5 has been built from the ground up on Kia's dedicated E-GMP platform, ensuring its driving dynamics are well-balanced, engaging and comfortable.
Charging
The Kia EV5 can conveniently fit into your lifestyle thanks to the capability of fast charging. This means that the EV5's battery can be charged from 10 percent to 80 percent in just 30 minutes when using an ultra-rapid 150kW public charger.
Home charging capabilities are also on offer, which will tick the routine box for many. A 10 to 100 percent charge takes just over 7 hours when using a dedicated wallbox, allowing you to wake up each day with just as much charge as the last.
And, with an advanced heat pump system on certain models, the battery is able to perform even more reliably, even in extreme weather, ensuring the Kia EV5 can be used without worry in each season.
