Discover the new standard in electric vehicles for Kiwi families with the launch of Kia’s latest innovation, the Kia EV5. Described by Todd McDonald, Managing Director of Kia New Zealand, as “the perfect midsize electric SUV,” the EV5 is a game-changer in both technology and affordability.

A Revolutionary Midsize SUV

The Kia EV5 promises and delivers. With a starting price of $67,990 and a remarkable driving range exceeding 500km WLTP, it is an attractive option for families looking to transition to electric vehicles without compromising performance or budget.

The Midsize Sibling to the Award-Winning EV9

Building on the success of the recently introduced EV9, which clinched the title of World Car of the Year 2024, the EV5 will significantly impact the electric vehicle market as a more compact, five-seater counterpart. It joins the EV6 and the EV9 in Kia’s prestigious zero-emissions model portfolio, further cementing Kia’s commitment to sustainability.

Locally Tuned for New Zealand Roads

A dedicated team of 45 engineers rigorously tested the Kia EV5 under Australasian conditions, covering almost 25,000km in an EV5 prototype. This extensive local tuning ensures that the vehicle is optimized for local roads and meets New Zealand drivers’ specific needs and expectations.

Join the Electric Revolution

The Kia EV5 is loaded with the latest technology, offering a seamless and connected driving experience. Its specifications, set to be fully revealed before its midyear sales launch, are expected to set new vehicle technology and comfort standards.
