Seems like Kia had a new EV5 variant that fixes some of the issues of the original build:


Now with more traditional centre console (EV9 style) and cargo blind!

Charge specs/battery appear to be same so cosmetic changes only?

You’re correct! The euro version is being built in South Korea to step around tariffs. I also see that even though it’s still 400v it’s using an NMC battery vs LFP.

Lots of info popping up around the web in the last 24 hours.
TBH I’d hope this interior design would make its way down to us in AU/NZ.

And cross fingers this revision actually includes Digital Key 2.0 and NFC

To be fair there is not a lot of places where you really need AWD in the UK compared to some of our overseas members countries.

It is a nice thing to have but for many years in the past cars in the UK were mainly RWD for FWD with some AWD drive cars on the top end models.

Over the years AWD has become more popular and more common but mostly not needed.
