Video Summary
Here is a summary of the video:The Kia EV5 is seen as Kia's attempt to counter the onslaught of EVs from Korean and Chinese brands. The EV5’s design is reminiscent of a scaled-down, more affordable EV9. Kia is on a design roll, producing amazing designs. Some may find the lights controversial. The design begins to shine from the side view. The flat-faced wheels are 20 inches on the top-of-the-line GT line, and it comes in 18 and 19-inch wheels as well. The reviewers find it refreshing to see the very confident and slab-sided design. The EV5 actually comes with more boot space than the EV9 at 513 liters. With the back seats down, this increases to 1,714 liters. A nice and useful feature is a table that is built-in in the boot. Under the hood is a 67-liter frunk. It is bigger than the EV9’s frunk. The trim levels come in three versions: Air, Earth, and GT Line. The car is made in China for the Australian market, but the European and UK versions will have different specs. Underneath the car is an LFP battery: one at 64.2 kWh, and the top range at 88.1 kWh. Fast charging times are available with the 400V architecture. There are a lot of physical buttons. There are 12 on the steering wheel alone, which might be considered too much. Kia have made a great blend of on-screen navigation and physical buttons. The interior has a quite premium feel. Rear passengers have a cooling fridge to store food and drinks. A few nice touches are added for user convenience and comfort. Suspension in this car feels safe and secure. Road bumps are not felt very much. The reviewers noted some details of the suspension calibration unique to the Kia. The design seems very customer first. Overall, the Kia EV5 ticks all the right boxes.
