Pure electric models are also the main direction of many brands in recent years, and the models that can be selected in the market are becoming more and more abundant. A few days ago, we learned from relevant sources that Kia's first EV5 in the Chinese market has been built in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province0 intelligent factory officially off the production line, and will also be sold to the world. It is understood that the Kia EV5 has been launched at the Guangzhou Auto Show before, with a starting price of only 14980,000 yuan, which is 20,000 yuan lower than the Song PLUS EV of the same level. How is the new car, let's find out with Brother Quan.
In terms of appearance, the Kia EV5 continues the design concept of the previous concept version in terms of styling, adopting Kia's new design concept of "unity of opposites", such as the sci-fi headlights and other details have been continued, which is very recognizable. Previously, the front bumper of the new car was equipped with trapezoidal air vents and silver skid plates, creating a bold and boxy visual effect with a distinctive design.
The overall side lines of the EV5 are very stiff and straight, and the style is very close to that of a hardcore off-road vehicle. The new car has thick black trim on the wheel arches and side skirts, and the floating roof, blackened mirrors and luggage racks also further enhance the overall sense of style. As a compact SUV, Kia EV5 body size is not small, length, width and height are 4615 1875 1715 mm, wheelbase reached 2750 mm, its wheelbase is 60 mm longer than the same level R**4 Rongfang, but compared with the Song Plus EV Champion Edition is 15 mm shorter, the overall rear space performance in the same class of models also belongs to the first echelon.
At present, the pure electric SUV market is very "volume", and it is the main battlefield of independent brands, if there is no competitive advantage in the first place, it is likely that there will be a situation of applause, and Kia is also well aware of this truth. I thought that the EV5 entry price would not be cheap, but I didn't expect Kia to directly start with 14The ** from 980,000 yuan entered the market, even more than the Song Plus EV 16The ** from 980,000 yuan is also 20,000 yuan cheaper, and the **sincerity is very sufficient.
Of course, battery life is often the focus on battery life if you want to save costs on pure electric models, but the Kia EV5 doesn't do that. EV5 entry-level CLTC pure electric range has reached 530 kilometers, 10 kilometers more than the Song Plus EV Champion Edition, and the standard fast charging function, the drive motor power has also reached 160 kilowatts, and the most important thing is that the power battery pack it uses is the same as the Song Plus EV Champion Edition is from BYD's Fodi lithium iron phosphate battery, and there is no need to worry about safety. In this way, the Kia EV5 also has a great advantage in the core battery and motor power.
In Brother Quan's view, it is not surprising that Kia has entered the new energy market. According to the data of the Passenger Association, the cumulative sales of domestic new energy vehicles from January to October this year reached 59530,000 units, the year-on-year growth rate has come to 342%, which is the fastest growth rate among all market segments.
The EV5 is a pure electric compact SUV, and there are only more than 30 models on sale in this market segment. Therefore, the EV5 with the best advantage is actually facing not many competing products, as long as it can do a good job in front-end sales and after-sales, it is not impossible to sell well in the future.
Back to the product, first of all, in terms of the most sensitive pricing for consumers, Kia EV5 has indeed shown sincerity, 14The ** from 980,000 yuan is cheaper than the independent competitors of the same level. Secondly, in terms of the size and space that consumers value, the EV5 is also ahead of many competing products, and the actual space performance can also reach the same level of excellence. Finally, in terms of measuring one of the most important ranges and motor power, the Kia EV5 is also better than the Song Plus EV Champion Edition, so the market prospects of the Kia EV5 in the future are still very worth looking forward to.
In general, Kia EV5 is fragrant, has a lot of space, and the power range is also reliable, if you have plans to buy a new energy SUV in the near future, the cost-effective EV5 is still worth starting.
