A slightly inflated price relative to the equipment included in this car.

Comfortable, but feels a bit firmer (over small bumps) than the Q5. You can tell the car has some heft!! The electric power — 388 PS / 285 kW BEV — is incredible. The battery drops pretty quickly if you push the beast a little. The advertised 600 km range is generous on paper; expect more like 500, or even 450 in winter. The onboard technology is surprising and pushed to the extreme. After trying it, it's hard to go back to a non-electric model.

Kia EV5

Kia's EV5 is an exciting entry into the electric SUV market, showcasing the brand's commitment to sustainable mobility. With its modern design and advanced technology features, the EV5 promises to deliver a smooth and environmentally friendly driving experience.
