Full review of the Kia EV5 GT-Line can be found HERE 

Overall, I like the EV5. It looks stylish especially in the light blue colour I had.

The EV5 seems to get the size factor just right. Small enough for an inner-city runabout, but large enough for a weekend escape or holiday.

The GT Line is particularly well equipped and comfortable. With features like heated seats, wireless charging tray and massage function for the driver.

Rear seats have two isofix points and three top tether spots. The rear seat room is large enough for a baby seat as well.

There is a lot of practical storage inside, and the rear seats will fold flat for a large boot area.

Performance comes from an 88.1-kilowatt hour battery. There are two motors to give All Wheel Drive and a one speed reduction transmission.

Its smooth and quiet to drive and feels nimble around town. A realistic range is around 480 km. Range and charging time are two factors that need to be addressed. It is slow charging.

It’s expensive though. Priced from a bit under $72,000 plus the usual costs.

The EV5 will come in three variants, the Air and Earth models are available now. The GT Line later in the year.

The entry level EV5 Air is available in 2WD with both a standard and long range battery. The Earth and GT-Line are available in AWD with an extended range battery and dual motors.

Pricing is from $56,770 RDAP for the entry level EV5 Air through to $71,770  plus the usual costs for the top model GT-Line.

As you are listening to this I am at the first drive day for the EV5 and drive impressions will follow later.

The large number of new electric cars coming to Australia now increases the competition for sales in what appears to be a shrinking segment. Hybrid cars seems to be the growth segment currently.

The EV5 will face competition from Polestar, Tesla, DEEPAL, Zeekr, Audi and many more.

With the new NVES regulations coming into effect from 2025, the new car market will be interesting to watch in how brands navigate those rules and keep buyers happy as well
