Description:
Is the Kia EV5 (81.4 kWh) simply a larger EV3, or does it offer enough improvements to justify choosing it? In this review, I take a detailed look at the EV5's interior, boot space, rear seats, driving experience, charging, performance, highway comfort and all the new features compared to the EV3 and EV4.
We'll cover:
Interior and practicality
Boot and rear seat space
Charging and battery
Driving impressions
Highway comfort and noise
Performance and acceleration
Pet Mode and new features
Differences compared to the EV3
