The South Korean giant has lifted the veil of secrecy from the electric crossover Kia EV5. Initially, sales will unfold in China, and over time all over the world. Specifications are tentatively classified – they will boast in October, when they start taking orders.
The novelty is aimed at a wide audience, which the manufacturer itself has labeled as family millennial buyers. Based on this calculation, the exterior was designed together with the interior architecture. The exterior mirrors the more massive EV9, while the interior has already been modified for mass production.
The interior of the EV5 is conceived more as part of the living space of the owner’s family, and not as the environment of a banal means of transport. For example, Kia explains the lack of an armrest between the front seats, instead of an extra seat.
Eco-leather and various cozy fabric options are among the upholstery materials. Mood lighting can be adjusted in brightness and hue, where you can choose from 10 presets with different emotions or from 64 basic colors. The backlight is active, almost like on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class 223: it can draw the driver’s attention to the warnings of electronic assistants.
In front of the driver is a traditional Kia 4-spoke steering wheel and a block with some impressive displays. The photo also shows unusual buttons on the climate control panel. Some of them are integrated into the center console.
The crossover arrives in China with one 218 hp electric motor. Of. and 310 Nm, later a two-motor version with all-wheel drive will appear.
