]]> Kia EV5 GT-Line – Last week I drove the new Kia EV5 GT-Line All Wheel Drive long range model. That’s a mouthful. This mid-sized all electric SUV was first released in late 2024.

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.
