Kia EV5 Unveiled in Groundbreaking Fashion

Inspired by the interplay between natural landscapes and contemporary architecture, the EV5 is a downsized version of the EV9. It shares a similar size to the Sportage and features striking LED lighting that wraps around the front fascia and extends below the hood. Instead of a traditional grille, Kia's digital 'Tiger Face' is used, and the three-dimensional Signature Star Map Lighting takes inspiration from star-studded constellations. The EV5 also inherits flush-fitting door handles and a rising beltline from the C-pillar, as seen on the EV9. Wide shoulder lines, powerful fenders, and pushed-back D-pillars add to its dynamic appearance.

At the rear, the taillights of the EV5 stretch almost entirely across the body, in contrast to the EV9 where they are positioned high up alongside the back window. Additionally, the EV5 comes with a lowered spoiler and a skid plate positioned lower down. Buyers will have the option to choose from nine glossy colors and one matte shade.
