The EV5 is a big step forward in the family EV space. It takes the bold, confident styling of the larger EV9 and makes it accessible, giving you a car that genuinely turns heads. The 250 mile real range is perfect for all types of driving, and the 10-80% DC charge time of around 30 minutes makes longer trips easier. Kia's dedication to user-friendly tech and its industry-leading 7-year warranty give you massive peace of mind throughout your lease. Its space, gadgetry, and price, make it the smart choice.

Interior

The roomy cabin is designed with family comfort in mind. The dashboard features Kia's "Connected Car Navigation Cockpit," which links a 12.3-inch driver display with a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, plus a separate 5.3-inch climate control panel. Practicality shines through, with a massive 566 litre boot (plus a handy 44-litre 'frunk' for cables) and a flat floor for maximum rear-seat comfort. Tech features include wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and, on higher trims, Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability to power external devices. Even the entry-level model gets heated front seats and a heated steering wheel.

We take real world range from EV database, which combines the predicted range of an EV in cold weather with the predicted range of an EV driving in warm weather.

For cold weather, this assumes it’s -10 degrees celsius with heating on. For warmer weather, it’s based on 23 degrees celsius and there’s no A/C on.

Predicting exact range is tricky, and range will depend on speed, style of driving, weather conditions and route conditions.

Many things can impact the range you get in your EV, there are outside factors and ones you can control or mitigate. Temperature (both of the car and outside environment), your driving style, weather, the surfaces you drive on and the spec of your car can all make a difference to your actual range.
