But step inside, and packaging is the whole point.

A flat floor, a floating console, reclining rear seats and a cavernous 513-litre boot — genuinely clever family space, with room left over. And refreshingly, Kia kept the physical buttons. Real toggles for your temperature and fan, alongside twin 12.3-inch screens.

On the road, it’s tuned for calm. The single motor serves up 160 kilowatts and 310 newton-metres — smooth and linear rather than urgent — while the supple suspension simply shrugs off our Australian potholes.

The 64-kilowatt-hour battery covers around 350 kilometres, enough for a week of school runs and commutes between charges.

Seven-year warranty. 67-litre frunk. From around $57,000 drive-away.

The Kia EV5. Not the flashiest electric SUV — just one of the smartest.
