Kia EV5

Thursday, 24 October 2024 12:48 AM The Kia EV5 is set to arrive in Australian dealerships, with the Air and Earth variants available immediately and the GT-Line variant scheduled for December 2024. The EV5 has undergone extensive local testing to ensure it meets Australias unique road conditions. I think this attention to detail will make it a strong contender in the local EV market.

Saturday, 12 October 2024 11:30 PM Kia Australia has revealed the pricing for the EV5, starting at $56,770 drive-away for the Air 2WD Standard Range and going up to $75,990 drive-away for the GT-Line AWD Long Range. This pricing strategy is aimed at undercutting competitors like the Tesla Model Y. I believe this aggressive pricing will attract a lot of buyers.

Friday, 11 October 2024 09:56 PM The Kia EV5 features a sleek design with a wide nose, solid bonnet, and constellation-shaped ‘Star Map’ signature lighting. The interior includes dual 12.3” displays, a 5” bridging segment, and an integrated panoramic display. The GT-Line trim offers additional features like an Augmented Reality Head-Up Display and Remote Smart Park Assist 2.

Friday, 11 October 2024 10:48 AM Kia’s EV5 is built on the N3-ek platform and comes with either a 64.2 kWh or an 88.1 kWh battery pack, depending on the trim. The vehicle uses BYD’s Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (LFP) blade battery packs, which are known for their safety and efficiency. I think this battery technology will be a selling point for many eco-conscious buyers.
