Something Kia got right over everyone else...the naming system for their ev models. Brilliant.
I like that square look and can be could for interior volume.
Exactly, can be very could for interior volume 🎉😂
I had no idea this was coming. We were thinking about a EV9 but don't need anything that large. This would be perfect in size plus its looks like a smaller EV9, love it.
What I really want is a Picanto with a 30kwh battery. $25k. Take my money!!
That's like 90 miles of range, Ill sell you my 2016 KIA soul ev, which has a 30kwh battery for 16k :P
instead of picanto(morning), kia have RAY ev which is brand new, and it can drive over 200km
@@user-cu2bz3tg4h A tad ugly but hey, does the job. The Picanto is a much nicer looking car....except for the 'new look' for 2024, which just looks a bit strange.
2024 Renault Twingo
just get the old Ioniq 28/38 kWh, they are great cars and still the most efficient EVs you can get!
Thanks for your report
Very good presentation. I own a Tesla Model 3 and had planned to upgrade to a Model Y Dual-Motor. The EV5, however, could just tempt me away from Tesla if they can set the pricing of the AWD model at a reasonable level.
Great review, very focussed on the important details, no fluff! Any idea why they’ve chosen front wheel drive though? I thought most manufacturers, including Kia had seen the light with improved Ev design allowing more cabin space between wheels but also better handling RWD with motors in the rear as in the Ev6. Also any idea of towing capacity?
EV5 is not coming to America .. I'm upset
"Absolutely impressive! The video review of the 2024 Kia EV5 provides a comprehensive overview of the highly anticipated electric vehicle. The detailed specifications and in-depth walkaround explanation truly help us understand everything about this car. The futuristic design and advanced features make the Kia EV5 even more appealing. I'm deeply impressed by the innovation and technology integrated into this vehicle. Can't wait for its release date and to see how the Kia EV5 will revolutionize the world of electric cars. Thanks for the informative and inspiring review!"
By listening to the door closing thunk, this is even more solid than Lexus cars. Well done Kia ! You need to step up the after sales support to truely exceed Toyota.
Will be a instant hit❤
What about the boot size?
finally a car coming to Canada...I will buy when it is available
Very cool
Does it have V2X at all?
What a great looking vehicle ❤!
Would love a seven seater for our family but think the EV9 is too overpriced for a Kia. Please bring out an EV7 soon Kia!
Looks great but I can't understand why they would have the charging flap at the front
Why is the Niro so expensive compared to what you guess the larger EV5 will be?
88kw LFP battery is actually very good. Seems improvement in efficiency compare to the EV6. Very detailed report. Thanks.
You’re welcome
wonder if that is C2C? and what the pack level density looks like.
LFP batteries are not efficient. Because it has lower energy density therefore requires more cells to match up total capacity. So 88kw LFP battery car gets heavier than 88kw NCM battery car. Currenlty LFP are used for cost down. Outside china, EV5 will get NCM batteries.
well, only korean manufactured model gets NCM.
So this is around the size of the Seltos or Sportage? I drive a Seltos now so this might be the one for me.
there are some misinformed about batteries. LFP is requies to charge 100% often. This is because to recalibrate battery and prevent memory effect. On the other hand, NCM is not that prone to memory effect so you can charge how much ever you want. And with NCM, you can charge 100% if you want. The thing that people misunderstand about 80% in NCM is that from 20% to 80% of charge area, it can perform fast charging. And below than 20% and above 80% of charge, charging speed go down. Just that's it. It doesn't mean it gets dangerous.
And another reason why LFP model seems to have longer range is becasue LFP is not capable to deal such high C-rate. LFP is very prone to catch fire in high C-rate. This is why output setting must be set lower than NCM battery cars. If output setting for NCM battery cars are set to be like those LFP cars, NCM cars range would get much longer than those LFP cars.
NO..........NEITHER LFP or Lithium ion suffer Memory effect......You are living in the past........ LFP last twice as long and are far safer.............The ONLY batterie I would consider...............Paul
@@paulholterhaus7084 lol. no. you don't know what you are talking about. LFP does not last twice longer than NCM. LFP have less energy density than NCM. And LFP do have memory effect. Because this is matter of chemistry NOT technology. lol
@@paulholterhaus7084 And LFP is also Lithium ion battery.... lol lol lol
It looks OK, I like the EV9 Front end better, would have been nice if they just scaled the EV9 down, it's got a few subtle changes but has lost some of the edginess of the EV9.
Would have been nice if you compared this Vehicle to the one it's going to replace, The Niro. Did I miss Towing Specs. Cheers
Is there a spare tyre? Even a space saver? I cant' imagine an ev being trusted in aus as travel car till we can get that.
How many litres is the trunk?
When are you reviewing the EV3?
I like it :)
EV5 price was announced in china
It starts about $25000 USD and it will be more expensive in other region considering everything is cheaper in China
Thanks for the info. Any idea on price for the AWD spec ??
We're well into prediction territory but I would guess there would be a $5-10K step up to long range, then another $3000 or so for AWD?
@@chasingcars ok thank you
Any thoughts on UK sales? If they are making RHD cars in china would seem to make sense to also make UK (and Ireland) there do you think ?
I think it’ll go to the UK
Is it likely that the EV5 would be made available in a high end model (GT-Line) with a higher equipment level?
Yes, definitely, and a proper GT has already been confirmed too
It’s so adorable like a little cartoon car 😂🥰
5 seater only?
This is pretty cool. It's still really expensive for many consumers for it not to be a high end vehicle. The only budget version they have at the moment that has gone through a refresh is the Kia Niro. It's very basic but busomewhat affordable to the masses.
I'll tell you, one of the things I hate about these early production models at these press events is when they don't let journalist get in them. I kinda understand it but we really want a birds eye view of it all. We want to see door open, trunks open, hood up and more. This is why I usually come back after journalist have had the press car to take for a spin.
I like ev 5 ❤❤
I wish to see KiA EV5 with 98kWh battery , a real Long Range EV . EV5 probably will be made in Slovakia for EU market .
Hope the get this in usa and in Philippines
I wonder what the boot size is? I also hope it rides better than the Model Y and I’m sure the build quality will be way better. I sold my Model 3 LR after 35000km because it had so, so many mechanical issues. Never buying another Tesla.
If you don't like harder suspension (I actually think it's perfect, also on the Model Y), you probably want to avoid Kia in general.
Nice overview, even though not so good news for Europe, 2025!
Thanks.
The EV5 is a possible vehicle to replace our aging 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. We need an EV that can accommodate a mobility scooter lift (inside, not trailer hitch). I personally installed a Harmar lift inside the Mitsubishi, even though both Mitsubishi and Harmar said it was not possible. For the EV5, a lot depends on detailed internal dimensions and the possibility of mounting the lift. The front wheel drive standard EV5 may make it easier to install a lift in the back.
The Tesla Model Y is a better car, but its sloping roof eliminates it as an option for disabled people who need an electric scooter lift. And of course the EV5 would need to become available in Canada.
Need an aspirational model/performance model.. AWD, 500KW, 800NM, 0-100 3.5s , $85K drive away.. for example
I have a feeling 2024 gonna be big for the EV industry
At the ask price this is the Vehicle that we all need! US needs to keep that pricing the same!
The 600 km range is not achievable with LFP battery. Long range is applying NMC which composition is 9:0.5:0.5.
Any towing figures or what about a Frunk? The design is very boxy but then looks are subjective depending on individual.
Frunk - yes it has one, but I wasn’t allowed to see it. Towing figures - not yet.
There are so many misleading info. LFP battery is hard to measure SOC by voltage. In order to integrate the current to measure the battery, 100% charge is required to reset the error accumulated. NMC battery can charge 100% especially for the battery in EV5. Tesla has been provide some wrong information to the customer caused by the feature of their battery. Huyndai and Kia never guided to the customer to minimize the full charge. The charging speed is decreasing at high SOC. But this is common for NMC and LFP battery.
Best ❤
Very sad this won't be coming to the US :(
Probably won't ever need the EV9's size, but it looks more impressive and with better specs. And it's coming to Europe sooner. So... :-)
Looks like the heat pump is only on the high end model
Hopefully we get one built in south Korea
Not sure which market you come from!
Agreed, chynese build quality is subpar.
Because the battery pack is from byd 😅
i ve been looking for a credible replacment
for my Ford territory.....i think ive found it in the new EV5
thankyou KIA
Darn 60k.. that means 70k-80k in NZ.😢
I like many things but those trimming and wheels
Spare tyre or at least space saver?
Not that I saw. Very rare for an EV, which sucks
I wonder why Europe will get a different battery?
Meanwhile, in China, SEVEN EV's CATCH FIRE EVERY DAY. And have been doing so for many years now.
NO USA SALES!!! 😢😢😢
Seems like a huge miss not built and sell this car in the US. Small crossovers are the bread and butter of the US car market.
Kind of getting bored of seeing the same design after that EV9 to be honest, though the EV3 looked cute
Put some beefier motors into it otherwise its going to be difficult competing against MY, most likely the price will be higher than Tesla as well.
A disappointing with the DC charging. Weve got the EV6, and driving 2100 km through europe has been easy thanks to the fast charging. I know it doesnt matter for most of the year, when I am charging in my own drive way, but for those rare occasions when we do need to charge on to go, its nice to do it quickly
So, do we take that at 9:04, the left side is a KIA EV3. As much as I am waiting on the EV5 to replace some RAV4 sizes fleet vehicles. The EV3 would be sitting in a comfortable size to run a smaller sized EV vehicle to replace the main stays of our fleet. As we already have 12 EVs so far, they are of a more expensive mind set for a start up of EVs but to try and continue at that level is the bid issue. BTW. I am not that fazed or am actually happy with the lower power. I have been asking for that since the first EVs launched. Speed is one thing, but in my line, pace is best.
FWD nah! I wonder if they will end up doing like Polestar did with the 2 and changing it to rear wheel drive as standard or AWD. No need for a FWD EV the battery weight places center of gravity dead center. There are benefits to FWD in ICE vehicles because the weight of the engine over the front axles can increase traction, but on an EV it is not necessary since all the weight is between the axles.
A great looking car but FWD will cost sales just like it did on the Polestar 2. Shame about the charging. It would be good to see all EVs improve charging.
Front face is bit overdone too have too much of DRL. EV9 looks are more balanced and could have been nicer on the smaller vehicle as well.
88 kwh LFP battery will be heavy. Kia seemingly has little ability to trim weight from their EVs
Example. Model 3 SR. The LFP battery cars are 130kg heavier than the NMC battery SR cars.
Good point.
I don’t want affordable. I want 800V!!
LFP battery = success. nothing else matters
👍, but 400kW charging ☹️
Kia EV5 looks closer to the BYD Atto 3 than the Model Y on the power and drive line side of things.
- BYD Atto 3 is FWD, 150kW, 60kWh LFP pack, 4455mm long
- BYD Seal U is FWD, 167kW, 82.5kWh LFP pack, 4785mm long
- Kia EV5 is FWD, 160kW, 60kWh LFP pack, 4615mm long
- Tesla Model Y is RWD, ~230kW, 60kWh LFP pack, 4750mm long
By the time this arrives in Australia the facelifted Model Y and new BYD Seal U EV will be here.
You’re right. Lots of commenters (and the presenter) potentially missing the point I suspect. Kia makes no bones about the fact it’s aiming for volume / market share with this car - and it won’t do that by competing with Tesla. It’ll do that competing with the likes of BYD, and even with Toyota, which currently has a 12 month+ waiting list for its very dated but still wildly popular RAV4 (and Corolla Cross) here in Australia.
Specs, fit, finish and market strategy all suggest maybe that’s what this car is about. Not holding my breath, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this was closer in price to BYD than Tesla.
Love this car but the slow charging speed may be a deal breaker for me.
Nobody will point out the car right next to it that looks like the updated design version of the EV6? If this is it, the latest design laguage doesnt suits the EV6 body shape.
Looks great. And that long range capacity is very usable.
We can be very hopeful that we are going to see 1,000km ranges in our lifetime, depending on how old you are 😇
Why you need to drive so far. If I drive 700km. I want to go piss and eat at 350 km mark. I think issues is between the ears and not in battery.
Lol give it 5 years
@@MrRaitzivery true, the real improvement needed is to the charging infrastructure so you can always have peace of mind knowing your closest chargers are in range
Kia and Hyundai have firmly abandoned the entry level market
And everyone is supposed to be shocked and concerned that there's a threat of far more competitive Chinese EVs?
Not sure that's entirely the case when they also confirmed EV2 and EV3 models today as well.
It just came out in China starting at $22,000... Things just got painful for Tesla.
Charge port is stupidly on the passenger side
and does this compare with the KONA, you have not said. All you talk about is the Tesla, but in our [Australia] market Tesla is a different animal, and they are not comparable.
I talked about Tesla because they have 65% of the EV market in Australia. If a mainstream manufacturer like Kia isn't working to be competitive with Tesla, they are missing the point. As for the Kona, the EV5 is quite a bit larger (4615mm v 4350mm)
For one thing: 120kW peak charging versus only 80kW (or is it 100kW?) for the new Kona. I like the looks of the Kona better though.
@@chasingcars OK, thanks, I understand that Tesla have the lion share of the EV market here, what I meant is the vehicle shape and for that matter price. The KONA is a smallish EV, whereas the Tesla Y [hatchback] is in a different price band I believe.
Many thanks about the size of the EV5, Touson size then.
Where is EV9 built in?
South Korea
looks great but Australian infrastructure isn't ready for massive EV cars yet, KIA need to bring more hybrid cars
Is this replacing the NERO?
No, the new EV3 will be the closer replacement for the Niro.
I wish this would come to the US. Conflicting reports but seems like it's leaning towards No
60k takes it into RAV4 Hybrid territory!! Would be amazing
We shall see!
People want a "Frunk" To be able to compete with Tesla the range and power output doesn't matter compared to the "Frunk"
OK, it has a frunk
Oh, I'm not a fan of the charging port on the driver's or passenger's side door... prefer it be up front, same as Kia Niro EV... alas.
My personal vehicle is a Kia, my professional lease a Model Y, and as much as I like Kia (I wanted an EV6 for professional lease car but passed on it because I'm 6" 2') I can guarantee you none of these cars "targeting the Model Y" by trying to compete in price come even close in terms of practicality if you are over 6" nothing or have to install child seats. Those things eat into space, even in compact SUVs with supposed "ample legroom". The Model Y is a van inside compared to the likes of the XC30, iX1, and probably the EV5 as well. The fact is the Model Y succeeds in competing with these much smaller cars in price, but is a segment up in terms of space and specs for the price. No non-Chinese manufacturer seems able to beat Tesla in both these field at the same time, for the time being.
If you're shopping on a budget, you know you're gonna make sacrifices such as interior room. But if you're shopping around in these prices of this EV segment and you have use for the interior space, and you know you can get it, I can't imagine you're gonna settle for a much more compact option on account of more classic styling or brand loyalty.
Why doesn’t it come with a design?…
I really like it but 400v instead of 800v is disappointing
800v and low-budget EVs aren't compatible
800v are pointless. Batteries are the limiting factor to charging not wires
byd aito but longer
Only missing thing, again: the rear whipper !!!!
They should’ve kept 800v.
Kona EV or Kia EV5? They should be around 60-70K before onroads. Kona EV looks better IMO than boxy EV5. EX30 also in the running.
Very different sizes. The Kona is smaller than a Niro EV and the EV5 is bigger than the Niro
@@stijnhs thanks mate! That helps us. We are looking for a second EV in the future. Kona fits the bill there then. Our first EV is a big ass Ioniq... But it's lovely to drive 😜
@@HuyTranimal không có gì ;) BTW I currently drive an Niro EV but I'm considering the EV5 or the Ioniq 5N for my next car in 2 years time when they both should be available in Europe.
Sorry, but you range estimates are far too optimistic. Your figures are better than actual figures for Telsas. The EV5 has the Cd of an breeze block, so 13.2kWh/100Km is unreasonable. 16.2 kWhr is more probable, so 520Km, ie usual figures of approx 500Km on 80kWhr. A max charge rate of 120kW (ish) is far too slow and the sneaky bastards give a charge time for a 30/80 charge. It's an LFP, it wants to be used 100/0 and charged 0/100, so give the times for such, or have they got something to hide? Going to be 60 mins for a full charge. Finally, 60K is still too expensive for a 500km car and a 1 hour (ish) refueling time.
I’m letting you know what I think the WLTP estimates will be. These should be achievable urban, and Highway as usual you have to subtract 10-20 percent.
Interesting looking. However, from our Indian perspective, it needs to be at least 35% cheaper than the EV6 as the Ioniq 5 is assembled here, and so costs 25% less than an equivalent EV6. And the Ioniq 5 is much bigger than this
This is just 2cm shorter and 1.5cm narrower than the Hyundai ioniq 5 and actually 7cm higher as well.
minecraft brick on wheels will probably have better aero
I like the size and SUV shape, but it looks a bit like a kid has sketched the shape. Too square at the front for me, particularly with no grill to break up the bland front.
Why you have to mention China so many times? Tesla cars also from china.....
WELL.......I'm a sucker for beauty and the only new car meeting My looks requirements is the new Honda passport trailsport.........Guess I'll have to bite the bullet with the meager 25 MPG...............Maybe the 25' Model will do better............Also...Stories of $6000 dollar batterie replacements......With only minor damage to the original scare Me away..................Paul
will need to be sub 60kAUD, LFP batt, decently zippy (0-100 in 6ish sec) and good efficiency (~14kWh/100km) for me to be interested - don't see it happening.
can't wait for the xpower though
Doubt it'll be under 80k knowing this place.
