Summary
The Kia EV5 81.4 kWh GT (MY26-27) is a 5-seat SUV with all-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £54,295. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 6.2 seconds, quicker than 54% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 233 miles (375 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 39% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 158th of 242 SUVs.
It uses around 3.0 mi/kWh (208 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 78 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 115 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 248 miles (399 km) at motorway speeds.
It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.
Its UK starting price works out at £233 per mile of real-world range, higher than the median for SUVs (£186 per mile).
