The Kia EV5 2025 takes direct inspiration from the EV5 Concept and delivers a boxy, futuristic design in a practical mid-size electric SUV package. It features Kia’s signature “Digital Tiger Face” with vertically stacked LED DRLs, a flat clamshell bonnet, squared wheel arches, and flush door handles. The floating roof effect, pixel-style lighting, and aerodynamic wheels add to its space-age appeal. The design looks premium, sharp, and instantly recognizable on the road.
Spacious & Minimalist Interior With Lounge Vibes
Inside, the EV5 offers a clean, lounge-like interior layout with a focus on space and comfort. It features a wide integrated dual-screen setup that combines a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital driver display, plus a 5-inch HVAC display. Kia has used sustainable materials including recycled PET and bio-friendly leather alternatives. Highlights include ambient lighting, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, voice commands, over-the-air (OTA) updates, dual-zone climate control, and a flat-floor layout for extra legroom.
Powerful Battery Options With Impressive Range
Globally, the Kia EV5 is offered in three variants: Standard, Long Range, and Long Range AWD. The Standard model gets a 64 kWh battery offering around 530km range (CLTC), while the Long Range version with an 88 kWh battery goes up to 720km (CLTC). The top AWD variant includes dual motors producing up to 313 hp and 0–100 km/h acceleration in under 6 seconds. Ultra-fast charging tech enables 30 to 80% charge in under 30 minutes using Kia’s 800V architecture.
ADAS and EV-Specific Safety Features
Kia EV5 is equipped with Level 2+ ADAS via the Kia DriveWise suite, including adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring, and remote smart parking assist. Safety is enhanced with 7 airbags, 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, ESC, and a rigid EV-specific platform structure for better crash absorption and battery protection.
India Launch & Expected Pricing
Kia is expected to launch the EV5 in India by late 2025, likely through CKD assembly to keep pricing competitive. It will target premium EV buyers looking for a futuristic, family-sized SUV with long range. Expected starting price: ₹40–₹45 lakh (ex-showroom), putting it against the BYD Seal U, MG ZS EV top trim, and upcoming Hyundai Ioniq 5 variants.
Conclusion: Kia EV5 2025 redefines what a practical electric SUV can be bold in design, smart in features, and capable in performance. With a tech-rich cabin, up to 720km range, and cutting-edge safety, the EV5 is designed for modern families stepping into the premium EV space.
