The 2025 Kia EV5 is a battery-electric SUV with RWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Gen 1 generation. The Long Range is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Long Range version develops 218 hp and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 7.5 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 180 km/h (112 mph). Its power output is about 36% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 22% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 84.0 kWh. The recorded electric range is 600 km (373 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 14.0 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 233 kW. Its listed range is about 22% above the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,615 mm (181.7 in) in length, 1,875 mm (73.8 in) in width, and 1,715 mm (67.5 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,750 mm (108.3 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 513 litres (18.1 cu ft), expanding to 1,511 litres (53.4 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,890 kg (4,167 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 750 kg (1,653 lb). That cargo volume is close to the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of Long Range and Long Range AWD. Across the range, the specifications span 218 hp to 306 hp, 5.8 s to 7.5 s, and 546 km to 600 km, while listed starting prices run from $45,900-$52,900. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric SUV models from the same period, the 2025 Kia EV5 is strongest on range and price, while towing capacity and power stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
