EV QUEST

HE new KIA EV5 recently toured Kia dealerships throughout New Zealand.
I checked it out at Rotorua Kia.  The EV5 on display was a demonstrator, with factory stock arriving mid-year. 📆

The Kia EV5 is a mid-sized SUV, with similar design stylings to the bigger Kia EV9.  Similar in size to Kia Sportage.

The EV5 is built on a dedicated EV platform called N3 eK. This is a different platform to the EV6 and EV9, which are built on the E-GMP platform.

 ⚡️ The EV5 is based on a 400-volt electric architecture rather than the E-GMP 800-volt archetecture, meaning its charging speeds will be slower but still capable of accepting up to 141kW.

EV5 will be able to accept over the air updates, with a Kia Connect phone app.
