Welcoming Kia Trinidad to the local EV market with their EV5, an SUV that blends impressive range with well-tailored luxury.
For starters, the Kia EV5 comes in two trim levels: the 2WD Short Range (Base Light) and the 2WD Long Range (Mid Wind). Both models feature a single motor setup, delivering a respectable 215 horsepower. The Base Light offers a driving range of 400 km, while the Mid Wind extends that to an impressive 550 km.
In terms of design, the EV5 commands attention with its bold, boxy silhouette. The futuristic headlight design is accentuated by chrome detailing, giving the SUV a confident presence. At the rear, simplicity reigns, with a clean tailgate adorned only by the EV5 badge and Kia’s refreshed logo.
Step inside, and the cabin immediately impresses. It’s spacious, elegant, and minimalistic, modernized in all the right ways. The steering wheel design is sleek, with integrated shortcut buttons that feel intuitive. Dominating the dashboard are two 12.3-inch LCD screens, one serving as the digital gauge cluster, the other as the infotainment interface. While most functions are controlled through the touchscreen, Kia has wisely retained physical buttons in the center console for key everyday functions like climate control and media adjustments. The user interface is clean and easy to navigate, though the gear selector, mounted on the lower right of the steering column, might require a little acclimatization.
Practicality is another of the EV5’s strong suits. Storage solutions abound, with numerous pockets, shelves, a generously sized trunk, and even a frunk (front trunk). The lack of a transmission tunnel means rear-seat passengers enjoy a flat floor and ample legroom. USB-C ports ensure everyone stays connected, and the combination of cloth and leather upholstery gives the cabin an undeniably premium feel.
The Kia EV5 stands out as a distinctive and well-rounded all-electric SUV, certainly one worth considering in the ever growing EV market. Contact Kia Trinidad -https://kia.co.tt/home/contact-us
