Kia EV5
The Kia EV5 is a battery electric (D-segment) mid-size crossover SUV produced by South Korean manufacturer Kia since 2023. It was first introduced in March 2023 as a concept form, and announced as a production form in August 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 the joint venture Jiangsu Yueda Kia Motors. It is the younger sibling to the EV9 due to its similar styling, and as the name suggests, the EV5 features two-row seating and a 5-seater layout. It is Kia’s first dedicated electric vehicle to feature the 400-volt architecture.
