Kia EV5: Prices from 490 million VND, Range up to 700 km per Charge

Kia has officially announced the sale of the EV5 electric SUV at the 2023 Guangzhou Auto Show, following its launch in August this year. The car is available in three versions, with prices ranging from 149,800 to 174,800 Chinese yuan, which is equivalent to 490 to 567 million VND.

The Kia EV5 is developed based on the E-GMP platform of its parent company Hyundai. The car has dimensions similar to the Sportage, with a length, width, and height of 4,615 x 1,875 x 1,715 mm and a wheelbase of 2,750 mm.

In terms of exterior design, the EV5 adopts the Opposites United design philosophy, featuring sharp, rugged lines. The front grille has a design that Kia calls “Digital Tiger Face”, while the triangle-shaped headlights consist of small LED bulbs along with a daytime running light strip running across the front of the car. Below, there is a wide trapezoidal center air vent with a thick border and a silver trim, creating a strong and rugged appearance for the SUV.

At the rear, the 2024 EV5 features vertical LED taillights and two thin LED strips running horizontally on the tailgate, inspired by star maps.

The interior of the Kia EV5 is quite similar to its “big brother” EV9, with the most notable feature being the 12.3-inch dual touchscreen on the dashboard and the small 5-inch touchscreen for adjusting the air conditioning below. The 4-spoke steering wheel integrates most of the basic control buttons, while mechanical buttons are used for the air conditioning. Below, you’ll find two USB-C ports, a wireless charger, cup holders, and storage compartments. The rear seats can be folded flat, and the rear luggage compartment is divided into convenient compartments, along with an underfloor storage compartment.

The standard version of the Kia EV5 is equipped with a 215-horsepower electric motor combined with a 64 kWh battery pack, providing a range of approximately 530 km on a full charge. The all-wheel drive version delivers a power output of 308 horsepower and is equipped with an 88 kWh battery pack. The powerful long-range version boasts a power output of 215 horsepower and is equipped with an 88 kWh battery pack, enabling a range of up to 700 km. The Korean SUV also comes with a fast charging system that can increase battery capacity from 30% to 80% in less than 30 minutes.
