Overview
The Kia EV5 marks Kia’s push to make electric mobility more accessible in the GCC, positioned as a compact-to-mid-size electric SUV sitting below the EV6. Launched in the UAE and Saudi Arabia in late 2024 and into 2025, the EV5 combines a distinctive SUV-style design with modern tech, competitive driving range and everyday practicality, making it a strong entry point into Kia’s EV line-up.
Powertrain & Performance
The Kia EV5 is offered with multiple battery and drivetrain options in the region, catering to both efficiency-focused buyers and those looking for stronger performance.
Entry-level versions use a 64.2 kWh battery paired with a single front-mounted electric motor producing around 215 hp and 310 Nm of torque. This setup delivers a WLTP driving range of roughly 400 km, with 0–100 kph acceleration in around 8.5 seconds.
Long-range variants upgrade to a larger 88.1 kWh battery while retaining the same front-wheel-drive motor...
