Kia claims the EV5 is equipped with a wide variety of interior technology features to help it compete with other electric vehicles in its class. This has a large touchscreen infotainment system, a digital instrument cluster and many smart connectivity options. Unique elements, such as a rotating central display and customizable ambient lighting, have been included in the interior as well. And because the EV market is notorious for its rapid pace of technological advancement, companies are always one upping each other on software capabilities, user interfaces and cool features. It also begs the question of how Kia's tech offerings stack up against the likes of Tesla's minimalist, but feature rich interiors or competitors like Volkswagen's ID series or Ford's Mach-E. The discussion also encompasses the interplay between physical controls and touchscreen interfaces, the intuitiveness of the user experience, and the vehicle’s long term updatability of the software.
