Sitting between the EV3 and EV6 in Kia’s electric car lineup, the EV5 will be a rival to the likes of the Volkswagen ID.4, Ford Explorer and Renault Scenic. Based on the same ‘E-GMP’ platform as the big EV6 and EV9 models, it won’t get their ultra-fast 800-volt charging, but it should get sufficient battery capacity for a range of well over 500km for the bigger battery model. Kia says that it’s also developing an advanced heat-pump heating system so that cold weather takes less range out of the battery, while the cabin gets the same cool, minimalist look that we’ve already seen in the impressive EV9.
