The 2024 Kia EV5 is a battery-electric SUV with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Gen 1 generation. The Standard Range is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Standard Range version develops 160 hp and 255 Nm (188 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 8.8 seconds, which is measured, with performance geared more toward normal driving than acceleration. Top speed is listed at 170 km/h (106 mph). Its power output is about 51% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 39% 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 58.0 kWh. The recorded electric range is 400 km (249 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 14.5 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 100 kW. Its listed range is about 17% below 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 1,780 kg (3,924 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.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric SUV models from the same period, the 2024 Kia EV5 is strongest on price, while power and towing capacity 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.
