Transformative Design, Exceptional Versatility, and Unparalleled Comfort
The EV5 redefines the landscape of electric compact SUVs, seamlessly merging groundbreaking design, remarkable adaptability, and unmatched comfort. Kia's designers and engineers have meticulously crafted every aspect of the EV5 to cater to the dynamic needs of contemporary families, enhancing their experiences on every voyage.
Creative Exterior Design Inspired by Nature and Modernity
In a bold departure from conventional aesthetics, Kia drew inspiration from their 'Opposites United' design philosophy to shape the distinctive look of the EV5. This philosophy draws parallels between the harmony of natural landscapes and contemporary architecture, resulting in strong, well-defined lines that evoke the majesty of the wild. The EV5's modern take on the iconic Kia tiger mask, coupled with a wide and commanding stance, stands as a testament to passion-fueled precision.
Karim Habib, Executive Vice President and Head of Kia Global Design Center, explains, "The Kia EV5 was born to redefine the compact SUV category through Kia’s unique design philosophy ‘Opposites United.’" This meticulous approach has led to a vehicle that sets new benchmarks in design, performance, and practicality while offering elevated levels of driver delight and user engagement.
Harmonizing Nature and Innovation
Influenced by the 'Bold for Nature' principle, the EV5 boasts a robust yet elegant body juxtaposed with a soft and emotionally resonant surface, catering to eco-conscious families and individuals with a penchant for innovation. The EV5's confident profile, emphasized by powerful fenders and broad shoulder lines, complements its spacious rear seat and trunk while providing exceptional visibility through its thoughtfully pushed-back D-pillars.
Distinctive Front and Rear Exterior Elements
The EV5 proudly displays Kia's hallmark design elements, such as the distinctive wide nose and solid bonnet, sculpted into a sleek digital ‘Tiger Face’ that redefines conventional grille concepts. The front design is further enhanced by the innovative three-dimensional ‘Signature Star Map Lighting,’ an array of dynamic shapes created by the daytime running lights (DRL), mirroring the patterns of constellations and accentuating the EV5's iconic Tiger Face design.
At the rear, the extended and lowered spoiler not only adds aerodynamic efficiency but also symbolizes the EV5's pioneering status as a groundbreaking electric vehicle, designed to usher in a new era of secure and eco-conscious family mobility. The rugged lower skid plate and the clean parting line of the tailgate contribute to the vehicle's protective aesthetics.
Vibrant Exterior Color Palette
The EV5 offers an array of nine glossy colors and one matte option. Glossy colors include Snow White Pearl, Clear White, Starry Night Black, Magma Red, Ivory Silver, Frost Blue, Iceberg Green, Tide Blue, and Shale Grey, while the matte choice is Ivory Silver.
Interior Innovation: An Inspiring Cabin for Sustainable Living
Recognizing that millennials perceive their EV SUV's interior as an extension of their living space, Kia's interior designers have ingeniously reimagined the EV5's cabin. Drawing inspiration from the larger EV9 SUV and guided by the 'Bold for Nature' principle, the EV5's interior presents a seamless blend of nature-inspired elements and cutting-edge design, creating an inviting environment that resonates with well-being and personal inspiration.
Elevated Comfort and Personalization
Mood lighting takes center stage in the EV5, offering adjustable brightness from 0 to 10. With ten curated shades and a total of 64 color options, the mood lighting syncs harmoniously with drive modes, dimming in low light and subtly alerting if speed limits are exceeded, enhancing driver engagement and awareness.
