Exterior and interior design
The EV5 was the first to make its world premiere in China, and it is also a model launched to celebrate Kia's 80th anniversary next year. At the new car launch event at the Guangzhou Auto Show, Kia's global president said. Officials have also repeatedly emphasized that the EV5 has been developed and designed with the needs of Chinese users in mind. It is reported that about 400 Chinese engineers are involved in the research and development, and it is produced at the Yancheng Intelligent Manufacturing Plant in Jiangsu Province, and will also be sold to the global strategic model. The EV5 should be a car that is widely accessible to domestic users, and it will refresh Chinese consumers' perception of Kia's pure electric models.
The car has a unique design that is not assimilated by mainstream models. The shape is very thick, using the new design concept of "unity of opposites" of the Kia family, the car logo is a newly replaced "digital" flat design, and the LED daytime running lights have a through-effect but have a separate layout, which is very futuristic.
The side of the body is very full, but there is no lack of sharp lines, so that the large space of the SUV is maximized, hidden door handles and low-drag wheel design all contribute to low energy consumption, 225 60 R18 size tires, not large, but also do not hinder the positioning of the urban SUV in the slightest. The body dimensions are 4615 x 1875 1715mm long x wide x height, and the wheelbase is 2750mm.
The rear shape is very flat, which further highlights the trunk space, and the rear tail light shape also uses LED light source, which echoes the headlights. The rear suspension fenders, which are rare in SUVs in their class, are a plus.
Comfortable, convenient, environmentally friendly and intelligent cockpit design
The interior layout of the car is very simple, as much as possible to create a warm sense of space at home, and the design will definitely win the praise of domestic users. And it is worth emphasizing that in terms of interior materials, Kia pays more attention to health, and the interior uses 10 kinds of healthy and environmentally friendly materials such as benzene-free paint and plant-based materials to create a "maternal and child-level" healthy and environmentally friendly cockpit.
For the central control LCD screen, the EV5 adopts a triple screen design, with 12 screens on the left and right screens3 inches, and there is a 5-inch independent air conditioning control screen between the two screens, independent operation is more intuitive and convenient, not to mention the scientific and technological atmosphere.
For the first time, the EV5 uses a new generation of CCNC intelligent connected entertainment system, which supports CarLife and wireless CarPlay, dual-zone voice control, WiFi hotspot, real-time** navigation and other functions. In addition, thanks to the in-depth cooperation with Tencent, the APP commonly used by Chinese users has been installed, and the OTA upgrade of the whole vehicle is often new. The retention of the physical buttons at the bottom of the screen is actually rare on most pure electric models.
The 530 Air version has also put a lot of effort into the seats, the front seat fabric is not only made of soft eco-friendly bio-polyurethane and recycled PET fabric, but also has 8-way electric adjustment for the main driver's seat, 4-way electric adjustment for the co-pilot's seat, and heated front seats, which is very generous.
The classic SUV styling, especially the class-leading ride height, leaves plenty of headroom for the front and rear members.
The mobile phone interface in the front row can choose charging or data transmission, and the positioning is accurate. There are a total of 4 ports in the front and rear rows, and the rear charging port is behind the seat backrest, which is very user-friendly.
The EV5 530 LAND is also equipped with a practical and easy-to-use L2+ intelligent driving assistance system, which has a wealth of high-end intelligent driving assistance functions, such as full-speed adaptive cruise control, forward collision prevention assist, highway driving assistance, blind spot display, reverse side warning system, remote control intelligent parking assistance and other functions. In addition, the long-range version will also have an active lane change function with the turn signal.
Versatile space
Surprisingly, the EV5 is also designed with romantic seats in the front row, which is no longer obstructed when watching movies and resting with your lover in the car, and with 64-color dynamic ambient lighting and a large panoramic sunroof that can be opened, the feeling of spaciousness and warmth is immediately rising.
Peninsula-style storage compartment + hidden hook + ** drawer under the center console, which is enough for the front seat driver.
The rear exhaust vents are placed on the B-pillar, which is a bit more cumbersome, but the EV5 does that, and the vacated middle space provides plenty of storage compartments. And clothes can also be hung behind the headrest, which warms the family taste, which is also lacking in the design of models of the same level.
Although the EV5 adopts a front-wheel drive design, it still designs a 67L front trunk for users, and also graciously adds a sealing strip on the upper cover to ensure the tightness, which is also a very generous material.
The 513L large trunk, which can be expanded to a maximum of 1718L, can easily accommodate camping equipment such as tents, ovens, folding tables and chairs. The rear seats are designed to be fully flat, which is difficult to achieve in its class.
The trunk cover can also be flipped up as a table board, which can be used for meals and offices, and can fully meet the needs of office, camping and homework with the 220V socket power supply that comes with the car. In addition, the trunk has a detachable multi-function hook, which is practical and convenient.
Pure electric platform, efficient three-electric system, vehicle safety
The EV5 comes standard with seven airbags, including the class-exclusive front mid-mount airbags, which are the largest number of airbags in the 150,000 class. The EV5 body adopts a multi-skeleton structure, with high-strength steel accounting for 73 percent6%。In addition to the anti-collision beam, a fireproof and heat-insulating layer is also added between the passenger compartment and the battery compartment to prevent hidden dangers to the greatest extent.
The EV5 is based on Kia's e-GMP electric platform, so much so that the car still has a front trunk space despite the front-wheel drive, steering wheel, and footpegs design.
Currently, the EV5 is only available in a 160kW 310N·m version of the former permanent magnet synchronous motor, equipped with a 64The 2-degree Fodi blade battery has a pure electric range of 530km, which is 71 more than the carryThe 520 km range of the BYD Song PLUS with the 8-degree Fodi blade battery is still long, and the electronic control technology of the Kia EV5 does have its own uniqueness. This is due to the fact that all models of the Kia EV5 are equipped with a heat pump air conditioning system, a 5-stage kinetic energy** system, and a battery temperature control management system, which can effectively improve power consumption.
Thanks to Kia's world-leading e-GMP platform for electric vehicles, the EV5 can be charged from 30% to 80% in just 27 minutes, which is faster than the 30-minute charging time of the Song Plus. In addition, the EV5 also has a V2L external power supply function, which can continuously supply power for multiple scenarios such as camping barbecue, hot pot, or trunk market.
