Kia Australia has confirmed its all-new and fully electric car EV5 SUV will start from $56,770, drive away when it arrives in showrooms later this month – see below for the full price list.
Three trim levels will be available from launch: Air, Earth and GT-Line, with the latter arriving in December. Furthermore, depending on the variant, two battery options are offered, as well as single- and dual-motor powertrains.
Like other Kia models, the EV5 has been subjected to “an extensive local ride and handling program to ensure it is suitable for Australia’s unique road conditions”.
All grades will feature dual 12.3-inch displays housing the digital instrument cluster and touchscreen infotainment system, with the brand’s latest ccNC interface offering online and remote services and over-the-air (OTA) software updates offers. The climate controls are housed in a 5.0-inch bridging segment.

The flagship GT-Line will also feature Kia’s Blind Spot View Monitor camera system.
Kia Australia has confirmed that a “variety of exterior colours” will be offered across the range, with the GT-Line also offering exclusive two-tone options.
The mid-range Earth will also offer a secondary interior color beyond just Smoky Black, with a Nougat Beige leatherette confirmed as an option – although linked to the exterior colors of Tide Blue, Shale Gray and Starry Night Black.
