Kia has revealed full details of the all-new EV5, a fully electric family SUV designed to take on the UK’s most competitive car segment. With space for five, a driving range of up to 329 miles, and Kia’s latest technology, the EV5 is set to become the electric alternative to the ever-popular Kia Sportage.

Prices start from £39,295, with order books now open and first UK deliveries expected later in 2025.

As with Kia’s other new EVs (EV3, EV4, EV6, and EV9), the EV5 follows a three-grade structure designed to keep things simple:

• Air – starting at £39,295

• GT-Line – from £42,595

• GT-Line S – from £47,095

All three models come with a generous list of features as standard, so choosing your EV5 is straightforward.

The EV5 is powered by a single front-mounted electric motor producing 214bhp and 295Nm of torque. That means:

• 0–62mph in 8.4 seconds

• Top speed of 102mph

• Up to 329 miles of range (WLTP combined cycle)

Charging Times:

• 10–80% in just 30 minutes using a 150kW+ DC fast charger

• Full charge in 7 hours 20 minutes on an 11kW AC home charger

Despite being a spacious SUV, the EV5 is cleverly designed for aerodynamics. Features like active air flaps, wheel deflectors, and a slim rear roofline give it a drag coefficient of just 0.29Cd – helping maximise range.

The EV5 is slightly larger than the Kia Sportage, making it a great fit for families needing extra room.

• Boot space: 566 litres (up to 1,650 litres with seats folded)

• Frunk: 44-litre front storage for charging cables

• Flexible boot floor: adjustable by 100mm

• Wide 1,000mm boot opening – perfect for pushchairs, luggage, or sports kit

Inside, the centre console offers multiple storage trays and compartments totalling 16.5 litres.

The EV5 is packed with Kia’s latest connected features, including:

• Dual 12.3-inch infotainment & driver displays plus a 5.3-inch climate control screen

• Wireless Apple CarPlay™ & Android Auto™

• 7 years of Kia Connect services

• Kia CarPay & Plug & Charge – pay for parking and charge effortlessly via the car

• Entertainment Packages (optional): stream music, Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, or play games when parked

Top trims also add a customisable Head-Up Display, premium Harman Kardon audio, and even fingerprint recognition for added convenience.

Every EV5 is fitted with Kia’s latest ADAS driver assistance systems, including:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (with pedestrian, cyclist & junction detection)

• Highway Driving Assist 2.0 with Hands-On Detection

• Smart Cruise Control with stop/go

• Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist & Safe Exit Warning

• 360° camera (GT-Line S)

• Remote Smart Parking Assist (GT-Line S)

The EV5 is Kia’s electric equivalent to the Sportage, joining the EV3, EV4, EV6, and EV9 in Kia’s expanding EV line-up. It’s a key part of Kia’s goal to launch nine fully electric models in the UK by 2027, giving families more choice than ever before.
