2024 Kia EV5 Australian First Look | Finally, an EV for the mass market?
Korean brand lands a mid-size electric SUV that’s cheaper than a Tesla Model Y and roomier than a Kia Sportage
Kia is readying the third member of its rapidly growing new-generation electric vehicle family: the 2024 Kia EV5.
Following in the wheel tracks of the pioneering Kia EV6 and the larger EV9 seven-seat SUV, the new EV5 is a mid-size electric SUV that will compete with the likes of the top-selling Tesla Model Y.
Chief to the EV5’s expected appeal in Australia will be an attractive entry price close to $60,000 and a long real-world range.
Sam Charlwood ran his eye over a pre-production version of the EV5 currently in Australia, ahead of its local release in coming months.

You hit the nail on the head at the end if Kia gets the pricing right, GT variant $70k drive away would be the right price. Otherwise, no thanks.
The LHD version in China starts at USD 19500/= I was expecting the price in Australia to be less than Australian $ 40,000/=
Love the design and I'm happy that Kia is not bringing it with a heavy price tag, but the interior has too much cheap plastic. 60k is still not cheap as such. I know Tesla isn't the benchmark on interior as well, but Kia needs to change that it makes it look very cheap and more like a Chinese car
Hey Tesla owners, get ready for another price reduction from Elon.
Bingo!
Why would you buy an expensive Kia chinese car instead of a cheaper chinese chinese car? Makes no sense to me
Just another SU fing V.
They are very popular at the moment.
$60000 Chinese made rip off again for Aussie market. $40000 still would be a rip off
What's a reasonable price in your mind?
@@carsales Less than AUS $ 40,000/
35000$
chinese build! say no more. Wonder who is going to buy a used EV at the end of the battery life?
There's 10-plus year old Nissan Leaf for sale on carsales and they appear to be fine. Sure, range degradation is in there, but they're still running.
