The Kia EV5 marks an exciting milestone as Kia’s first electric SUV debuts in Pakistan. With two variants—short-range and long-range—this electric SUV is designed to cater to a wide range of drivers. The EV5 promises both performance and sustainability, positioning itself as a compelling choice in the electric SUV market.
Exterior
Kia has crafted the EV5 with a bold and aggressive front featuring a brushed aluminum grille flanked by modern DRLs. The headlights add a sophisticated touch, while the front and rear parking sensors enhance safety. Its side profile is sleek and refined, featuring concealed door handles, brushed aluminum and piano black accents, and aerodynamic wheels available in 19 inches on the long-range and 18 inches on the short-range variant.
The rear end features stylish LED brake lamps, a shark fin antenna, and a brushed aluminum bumper with a diffuser. The spacious trunk has over 500 liters of storage and an auto-boot feature for added convenience. The rear seats have a 60/40 split for cargo space, and there’s even extra room for a tire kit.
Interior
Inside, the Kia EV5 blends eco-conscious design with high-end functionality. The cabin offers two color options: beige and blue. The seats are 8-way adjustable, with heating, ventilation, and a massager. A heated steering wheel is also added for comfort.
Three screens enhance the driving experience: a 12.1-inch infotainment display, a 5.1-inch screen for climate control, and a 12.1-inch information cluster. A head-up display and a non-conventional gear shifter add a modern twist. Other convenience features include wireless charging, a 12V charging capacity, and a panoramic sunroof that lets natural light fill the cabin.
Battery and Charging
The long-range version packs a substantial 88.1 kWh battery that delivers an impressive 620 km range and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.1 seconds. The Kia EV5 supports two charging options: AC and DC. The DC fast charging allows the vehicle to charge from 10% to 80% in just 38 minutes using a 350 kW charger. This fast-charge option makes the EV5 highly convenient for those on the go.
Technology
The SUV is equipped with the latest ADAS features, including Lane Assist, Lane Keep, Front and Rear Collision Warning, and Blind Spot Monitoring. Smart cruise control offers an extra layer of ease. It also comes with 4 drive modes: Eco, Normal, Sport, and Snow. The EV5’s hard buttons for climate and volume control are a practical addition, offering quick access without needing to navigate through menus.
