About the Kia EV5
The Kia EV5 fills the gap between the compact EV3 and the large EV9 in Kia's rapidly expanding electric lineup. This mid-size electric SUV is designed as a practical family car with strong range, competitive pricing, and the kind of build quality Kia has become known for.
European models use an 81.4 kWh battery delivering up to 329 miles of WLTP range. A single front motor producing 218 bhp is standard, with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive variant offering 313 bhp available on higher trims. The AWD version accelerates from 0-62 mph in 6.1 seconds. DC charging at up to 150 kW delivers a 10-to-80% top-up in around 30 minutes.
The EV5 supports vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality at up to 3.6 kW, allowing you to power external devices — a feature increasingly expected in this segment. The interior is spacious with a clean design, large touchscreen, and comfortable seating for five. Boot space is generous, making it genuinely practical for family duties.
Positioned as a more affordable alternative to the Tesla Model Y and Hyundai Ioniq 5, the EV5 benefits from Kia's strong warranty, growing dealer network, and established reputation for EV reliability. It is a well-rounded family SUV that does not chase headlines but quietly delivers on the fundamentals that matter most.
What the press thinks
The EV5 is seen as a sensible, well-rounded family EV. Reviewers highlight the strong range, practical interior, and competitive pricing. The main criticism is that it lacks the excitement and fast-charging capability of 800V Kia models. For buyers who prioritise practicality over performance, it is a strong contender.
