A standout Matcha Green colour, LED cube headlights and 19-inch alloys. In a look-alike segment, it has real character.

Step inside, and the flat floor makes it feel a class bigger than it is. The GT-Line piles on a wide sunroof, ambient lighting, Harman Kardon audio, a head-up display, and reclining relaxation seats. And Kia kept the physical buttons.

Now the numbers. 150 kilowatts, 283 newton-metres, and an 81.4 kilowatt-hour battery good for 563 kilometres of range. In our week it sipped just 16.2 kilowatt-hours per hundred k, dead on the claim, for around 500 real-world kilometres. Ten-to-eighty percent in about 30 minutes.

On the road, it’s calm and composed. A settled, absorbent ride over Australian roads, and a cabin that stays hushed.

Seven-year unlimited warranty. Five-star ANCAP. Vehicle-to-load power. From $63,950 before on-road costs.

The Kia EV3 GT-Line. The smart small EV, now with the comforts to match.

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.

I recently drove the top model, the Polestar 2 Long range Dual motor with Performance pack.

That’s a mouthful.

The Polestar  is a four door liftback style that has a definite edge to the overall appeal. The Snow-White colour we had added to the dramatic effect.

Once inside, the large vertical central screen dominates the look. This sits on top of a bulky central tunnel and clever twin shelf storage area.

I have to say the transmission lever is a little unusual. Front seats are comfortable, rear seats a little tight. The liftback boot is spacious and practical.

This vehicle is powered by an 85-kilowatt hour battery. Which provides some 350kW of power and over 700 newton metres of torque.

It’s quick with a 0-100 kilometre per hour time of 4.2 seconds.

Overall, its relatively easy to drive. I changed the braking regeneration down a level, so the one pedal driving style isn’t so abrupt.

With a claimed range of 568km and an economy of around 17-kilowatt hour per 100 kilometres, it seems to combine practicality and performance.

Our experience showed that the range was closer to 500km.

The Polestar 2 long range, dual motor EV, with performance pack is around $92,500 drive away and that’s a lot of money.
