Since the release of the Kia EV6 in 2021 – the company’s first mass-market, all-electric car – the Korean automaker has been an exemplar of how to be successful in the electric automotive space with a broad and accessible range of vehicles. Four years later, the EV5 targets the company’s broadest customer base yet as a competitively-priced mid-size SUV – and it’s already a well-selling car in both South Korea and Australia.
In my opinion, Kia is second only to Tesla in having the strongest range of EVs in 2025. Led by the older hatchback/wagon/SUV crossover EV6, Kia’s line-up has something for almost all tastes, from the gigantic EV9 at the top to the accessible and compact EV3 SUV at the bottom.
