The all-new Kia EV5 is coming to Europe, bringing bold SUV styling, practical tech, and up to 329 miles of range – all tailored for European roads, lifestyles, and drivers.

Kia has officially revealed the Kia EV5, its newest all-electric SUV designed specifically for the European market. Slotting into the competitive C-segment electric SUV category – the largest and fastest-growing car segment in Europe – the EV5 offers a compelling mix of practicality, high-end technology, and rugged good looks.

Built on Kia’s proven E-GMP platform (Electric Global Modular Platform) with 400V technology, the Kia EV5 combines electric innovation with everyday functionality, making it a smart choice for families, commuters, and outdoor adventurers alike.

The Kia EV5 is equipped with bi-directional charging capability. That means you can power tools, camping gear or laptops directly from your car using up to 3.6kW of energy, either inside the vehicle or via an external socket. It's also V2G-ready, allowing energy to be sent back to the grid where supported.

With a bold and boxy silhouette, the EV5 adopts Kia’s striking ‘Opposites United’ design philosophy, including the signature ‘Star Map’ LED lighting front and rear. Depending on the model, wheel options range from 18” to 20”, and the EV5 GT-Line adds a more stylised, sportier look.

Inside, it’s more of a lounge than a cabin. Kia has put comfort front and centre with wide seats, generous rear legroom, and sustainable materials throughout.

Kia has confirmed the EV5 will arrive in Europe by late 2025, with full UK specs, pricing, and order books expected to open later this year. It is one of the key models in Kia’s global ‘Plan S’ electric vehicle strategy, aiming to become a leader in sustainable mobility across Europe.

If you’re looking for a mid-size electric SUV with high-tech features, impressive range, and the practicality of a traditional SUV, the Kia EV5 is well worth waiting for. It's designed with the modern European driver in mind – from family-focused flexibility to cutting-edge connectivity and environmental consciousness.
