This battery is huge - Kia EV5 review

Get ready to meet the Kia EV5, the newest electric SUV in Kia’s lineup that took eight months to finally arrive!

In this video, we explore why it’s been delayed, how its 88 kWh BYD-built LFP battery helps deliver a surprisingly solid range, and what makes the EV5 stand out from the crowd. We walk you through the exterior’s rugged, squared-off styling, including those distinctive triangular wheels and a compact “frunk” for charging cables. Inside, there’s an impressively spacious cabin that feels bigger than you’d expect from a midsize SUV. The two large 12-inch screens give it a modern feel, plus you still get handy physical HVAC controls. While the single-motor version offers ample power, the heavier battery can make handling feel a bit “jiggly.”

Still, it’s clear Kia has done its homework in balancing performance, practicality, and features. Enjoy the tour—and don’t forget to like and subscribe for more EV insights!
