Kia EV5
The Kia EV5 is a battery electric compact crossover SUV produced by South Korean manufacturer Kia since 2023. It is the third model in the manufacturer's "EV" battery electric vehicle range after the EV6 and EV9. It is also the first battery electric vehicle that will be exported by Kia from China, being produced by joint venture Jiangsu Yueda Kia Motors.
A concept car previewing the production version was revealed in China on 20 March 2023, at the brand's EV Day event. The concept uses sustainable materials throughout the interior, including plant-based materials such as seaweed extract and recycled plastic bottles used on the seat trim, headliner and door and dashboard linings.
The production version of the EV5 was released in August 2023 at the Chengdu Motor Show. The model was designed using Kia's 'Opposites United' design language, also featuring a new version of the brand's trademark 'Digital Tiger Face', incorporating a new lighting signature.
In the Chinese market, the EV5 is powered by a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery produced by FinDreams, and a 160 kW (215 hp; 218 PS) electric motor with 310 N⋅m (31.6 kg⋅m; 229 lb⋅ft) maximum torque. For the South Korean-made and export markets, the EV5 will be equipped with a nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) batteries supplied by CATL with a capacity of up to 82 kWh.
The EV5 GT was released on 9 January 2026; it is a high-performance version of the EV5.
The EV5 was launched in Australia on 14 October 2024 with four variants available: Air 2WD Standard Range, Air 2WD Long Range, Earth AWD Long Range and GT Line AWD Long Range.
The EV5 made its Latin American debut in Brazil in September 2024, in the sole variant using the 88.1 kWh battery pack.
The EV5 was introduced in Canada at the 2025 Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto and it will be launched in early 2026 as a 2027 model year with an NACS port. Kia confirmed the EV5 will not be sold in the United States. The Canadian market EV5 will be available in a variety of trim levels and features, including Light FWD, Wind FWD, Wind AWD, Land FWD, Land AWD, GT-Line FWD, GT-Line AWD, GT-Line Limited FWD, and GT-Line Limited AWD. The base Light trim will be the only version with front-wheel drive.
