KIA EV5 has a new model, starting at 184,800, with a battery life of 720 kilometers.

A few days ago, Auto Focus learned from Kia’s official that the brand’s pure electric SUV—-Kia EV5 720 long-life version was officially launched, and the new car launched three models with a price range of 184,800-225,800 yuan. Compared with the previously launched 530-kilometer standard endurance model, this new model will match the 88.1kWh battery pack, and the 720-kilometer pure electric cruising range can better meet the needs of users for long-distance travel.

The KIA EV5, which is based on the KIA electric vehicle special platform E-GMP, has a very standard new energy model in modeling. The front face is closed in a large area and the unique daytime running light strip modeling brings a very high degree of recognition. The main light source is designed on both sides of the enclosure, and the bottom air inlet also has a very obvious KIA family design style, bringing a full-fledged scientific and technological atmosphere.

When you come to the side, you can see that KIA EV5 adopts the "square box" design that is very popular in the market now. The roof line is very straight, and the front face and tailgate are all close to vertical profile transition, which creates a strong off-road atmosphere with the large-size wheel cover design. In terms of body size, KIA EV5 has a length, width and height of 4615/1875/1715mm and a wheelbase of 2750mm, which is a relatively standard compact SUV.

Although the KIA EV5 rear does not adopt the popular layout of penetrating taillights, the design of slender light strips extending to both sides of the logo can still improve the visual width of the whole rear. And the bottom of the new car is surrounded by a very heavy design technique, decorated with silver guards, and the sporty posture is very suitable for young users.

Compared with the simple and technological appearance, the KIA EV5 cockpit adopts a relatively household design concept, and the lines of the center console are more complicated, and the restrained vertical height can provide the driver with a better view. And KIA EV5, a Dalian screen, is composed of two 12.3-inch screens and a 5-inch air-conditioning touch panel. With a row of physical toggle buttons at the bottom of the air outlet, it will be more convenient and efficient to operate.

According to the configuration table, the KIA EV5 720 Long Life Edition will come standard with 18-inch rims, front and rear reversing radar, reversing image, constant speed cruise, electric trunk, keyless start, keyless entry, remote start, LED far and near light, panoramic sunroof, central control large screen, mobile phone interconnection, car networking, leather steering wheel, full LCD instrument panel, electric adjustment of front seat, heating of front seat and adjustment of second row backrest.

It is worth noting that L2 driver assistance system, 360 panoramic image, automatic parking, remote calling, front sound insulation glass, front seat ventilation and other functions will be added to the mid-high models, which will bring more comfortable travel experience.

The KIA EV5 720 Long Life Edition continues to be equipped with a front drive motor with a maximum power of 160 kW and a peak torque of 310 Nm. Although it is placed in today’s involuted new energy market, the power parameters of KIA EV5 can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, but it is already the power level of many 2.0T high-power engines. Therefore, in fact, the KIA EV5 will obviously feel that the power will be very brisk, and with the efficient response of the motor, it is still fun to drive.

After matching the 88.1kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack, the KIA EV5 720 long battery life can provide 720 kilometers of pure electric cruising range under CLTC working conditions. According to the average power consumption of the previous test drive 530 standard battery life model is less than 14kWh/100km, the actual cruising range of the long battery life version should be in the early 600 km, which has been able to meet the travel scenarios of most users.

Jiao Ge comments:The KIA EV5 530 standard battery life version listed last year has attracted a lot of users’ attention with a starting price of less than 150,000 yuan, and the starting price of the long battery life version in the early 180,000 s is still full of cost performance. I wonder if you think this Korean pure electric SUV is not worth starting with? You are also welcome to leave your comments. (Wen-Long)
