All-New Kia EV5 Combines Luxury and Sustainability in Compact SUV

Kia balances luxury appointments with environmental responsibility in its newest model. The all-new EV5 compact SUV integrates sustainable materials throughout its cabin while maintaining premium comfort.

This latest addition to the electric lineup makes its public debut at the Canadian International Auto Show, giving attendees first glimpse at how Kia resolves the traditional compromise between luxury features and ecological impact.

Eco-Conscious Luxury Interior

The EV5 redefines expectations with its approach to premium materials. The cabin incorporates ten environmentally mindful materials without sacrificing the sophisticated atmosphere expected in upscale vehicles.

Soft-touch surfaces meet minimalist design throughout the interior, creating a space that feels both exclusive and responsible. The available mood lighting enhances this premium environment, allowing customization to suit personal preferences while maintaining the refined aesthetic.

Five-passenger seating provides comfort for everyone, with dimensions that maximize shoulder width and legroom in both rows. The result delivers a luxury experience with a significantly reduced environmental footprint compared to traditional premium vehicles.

Innovative Technology Integration

A nearly 30-inch panoramic display serves as the visual centerpiece, bridging the gap between advanced technology and environmental consciousness. This expansive screen provides access to vehicle functions, entertainment systems, and information displays while maintaining the interior's clean, uncluttered design philosophy.

Storage solutions demonstrate thoughtful engineering, with the steering column-mounted shifter freeing console space for practical use. The completely flat-folding second row transforms the vehicle for cargo flexibility when needed, while the front trunk provides additional secured storage for charging equipment.

Distinctive Sustainable Styling

The exterior styling reflects Kia's 'Opposites United' design philosophy, drawing inspiration from the 'Bold for Nature' pillar. This approach connects the vehicle visually to the natural world while maintaining the brand's distinctive presence.

The signature 'tiger face' grille and three-dimensional star map lighting pattern create instant recognition, while the sculpted side profile presents a dignified silhouette enhanced by available wheel options from 18 to 20 inches. The cohesive rear design features combination taillights and a spoiler that balances aerodynamic efficiency with visual appeal.

Eight exterior finishes include two new additions to Kia's color palette – Magma Red and Frost Blue – providing personalization options to match the vehicle's progressive character.

Efficient Performance Options

Sustainability extends beyond materials to performance efficiency. The EV5 offers two battery configurations: a standard 60.3 kWh pack and a long-range 81.4 kWh option for extended driving capability.

Available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive variants, the EV5 adapts to diverse driving preferences while maintaining its efficiency focus. The North American Charging Standard (NACS) port provides access to 61% more DC fast charging outlets across the country, enhancing the practicality of electric ownership.

This thoughtful blend of luxury, sustainability, and performance represents Kia's vision for modern electric vehicles. The EV5 will arrive in dealerships in 2026, exclusively for the Canadian market in North America.
