Pros & cons

KIA EV5 AWD

AWD traction adds confidence for city commutes and mixed-weather driving

325 hp and 605 Nm deliver responsive performance for merges and overtakes (0-100 km/h in 7.5 s)
Good value in its segment at 49,900 for an AWD electric
400 L trunk may be limiting if you often carry bulky cargo
0-100 km/h in 7.5 s is not for performance enthusiasts seeking thrills
Not aimed at a premium-luxury cabin experience
Price may still stretch tight budgets despite the value proposition

Not a performance pick: 0–100 km/h in 7.9 s
