Kia EV5: The Car That Is Bad At Nothing??

From Fully Charged Show.

Jack Scarlett is in Korea to test the new Kia EV5 — Kia’s all-electric midsize SUV that slots nicely between the smaller EV3 and the big EV9. Built on the EGMP platform, it’s got great range, a comfy cabin, and the classic Kia practicality we’ve come to love and expect. In this quick drive, we see how it stacks up against the rest of Kia’s EV lineup and find out whether you should pick this over the EV3 or PV5.
