I really hope this comes to the United States. This is something I would strongly consider buying and fits all my check boxes for what I'm looking for in a vehicle.

[gilletphilippe]

You can't have that front lighting bar !! Because of pedestrians 😅😅😅😅 what a joke in Australia but you have hutes and suv's with massive roobars in front of them so you can kill just anyone on the road 😅

That magnetic pads on back of second row seats are just such a clever design. It shows Kia pays a lot of attention to details and really wants to make a car for users. Also, the airplane type table behind passenager seat was great.

I’m an Australian living in Korea and I’m so jealous that Australia gets this before Korea!! :(

[jackfieldsjack]

Looks better and should. Drive better than the slow toyota RAV 4 hybrid. Love the presentation

[stevemarshall]

I wouldn't buy ANY car with no spare wheel at all. I just don't think it's a practical proposition in Australia, except (maybe) for very small city-only cars, which this is definitely not. Weird thing is, that space under the boot floor could easily have been designed differently, to take one. Just dumb in my view.

[daineseboy]

Did Harold Scruby get involved with that light strip at the front? Haha.

[digitalxtremehg]

Just got my EV6 Wind AWD and I love it.

If anyone is wondering the EV5 is not coming to the US market but will be available in Mexico and Canada. The only vehicle that may enter the US market is the EV3. The US Inflation reduction Act kinda through a wrench into Kia's plan to sell the EV5 in the states due to where I'll be manufactured.

The 2024 Kia EV5 is an upcoming electric vehicle from Kia that promises to be a game-changer in the world of EVs. With a futuristic and stylish design, the EV5 is expected to have a range of up to 300 miles on a single charge, making it a practical option for daily commutes and long road trips alike. The car is also expected to come with advanced features such as wireless charging, smart driving assistance, and a spacious interior with plenty of legroom and cargo space. Overall, the 2024 Kia EV5 is shaping up to be a highly anticipated addition to the EV market, offering a combination of style, comfort, and performance that is sure to impress.

Good to see the EV5 being prepared in RH drive. Did you find out if they will be shipping it to the UK?

[duncanwallace]

I like it! Being able to take it camping and sleep inside is a great option, as well as just being able to store long things in it.

More head and leg room than the EV3. Pricing, range and model options. Ride, noise, tire size options. 400 V architecture, different battery compositions and features. Like the fold down, second row seats. Payload on the roof? Vehicle payload and towing capacity. Accessories available?

[pauld]

Was specifically waiting for your review of this Paul. Great as always. Will be on my new car list when I go electric in a few years.

[robfrith]

Great to see more EV choice - the 2024/25 year is going to be super interesting!

[JohnCap]

The hook on the console is a cable retainer for charging cables. There’s two of them on either side of the console in EV6.

[hskrgrad]

Don't really like the wheels but the rest of it looks pretty good.

[drunkenwhiskeyeu]

Kia has been killing it design-wise lately, I wish them the best. I just wish they made similarly sharp looking vehicles as hybrids. The current ICE line-up is a bit dull.
Great review, thanks for it!

[kelvpoon]

Smart way to make your thumbnail stand out. Well done!

I’m always excited to see what KIA is rolling out. This looks great but the narrow visibility from the driver’s seat of the dash screen is a bummer. You’d think they’d be a bit more detail oriented to notice this.
