£47,145 for the top of the range model. Standard fare even on the lead-in ‘Air’ model is
generous with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, keyless entry and start, automatic air conditioning, auto dimming rear view mirror, auto lights and wipers, rear privacy glass, powered and heated folding door mirrors, LED lights, front heated seats and heated steering wheel along with front and rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera all included. On the technical front there’s a choice of single motor front-wheel-drive with 214bhp, or twin motor all-wheel-drive offering 261 bhp with both options having an 81kwh battery. As ever, real-world range depends upon many factors but Kia’s official figures indicate 529km/329 miles in combined driving for the lead-in Air model with the others lacking only slightly behind but all over the 300-mile mark. In reality all the models should average 270 miles. Inside the EV5 there’s lots of space for both passengers
and in-car necessities and general odds-n-sods. It’s quiet and refined on the road and although no sports SUV it packs enough performance to nip past slower moving traffic and for comfortable motorway cruising. There are actual physical controls for the essentials such
As ever real-world range depends upon many factors but Kia’s official figures indicate 529km/329 miles
as temperature, sound system volume and door mirror adjustments. A row of touch-sensitive menu buttons sit below the central touchscreen (excellent, crisp graphics) but are remarkably easy to catch when using the touchscreen. There are competitors with a more
premium feel and more individualistic styling but as a ‘go-to’ electric family SUV the EV5 has much to commend it. Despite not having multiple adjustment possibilities I found the EV5’s seats to
be comfortable and supportive. Allied to good levels of standard equipment the lead-in Air model appears to offer the best value in the line-up. It’s a mix of that standard equipment level, decent range and a practicality worthy of a much larger vehicle.
