Is this, the Kia EV5, the electric Sportage everyone’s been waiting for? Ginny takes a first drive in the latest addition to Kia’s fast-growing EV line-up. Sitting just below the EV9 in the brand’s SUV range, the EV5 brings the practicality of the Sportage into the electric era, with bold SUV styling, a practical interior, and plenty of clever tech.
In this video, Ginny explores what makes the EV5 such an important model for Kia, looks at its range and charging options, and finds out whether it has what it takes to compete with rivals like the Tesla Model Y and Ford Explorer.
