Kia has announced the prices for the EV5 in Australia. The launch of this electric SUV, which was initially set for June, faced delays due to software and wheel issues. Thankfully, these problems seem to have been sorted out, and the Air and Earth trims are set to become available soon. Additionally, two GT-Line versions are expected to arrive in December.
Pricing Details
As per the Kia Australia website, the starting price for the EV5 is A$56,770 for the FWD Air Standard Range trim, which is lower than the Tesla Model Y that has a drive away cost of A$60,868. The FWD Air Long Range trim, capable of providing up to 555 km (~345 miles) instead of the 400 km (~249 miles) WLTP range, is listed at A$63,990. The AWD Earth trim, another long-range version with a range of up to 500 km (~310 miles), is priced at A$69,990. The Earth trim not only includes a second motor but also comes with bigger 19-inch alloy wheels, a power tailgate, and an external vehicle-to-load (V2L) port, setting it apart from the Air.
High-End Variants
The EV5 GT-Line and the EV5 GT-Line Two-Tone are both priced around A$77,990. These premium trims come with enhanced features such as larger 20-inch alloy wheels, a heads-up display, blind-spot camera, fingerprint authentication, and massage seats. It's important to keep in mind that prices may differ depending on the region. It is still unclear when exactly the Kia EV5 will be available in Australia or when it will reach other international markets.
