HE new KIA EV5 recently toured Kia dealerships throughout New Zealand.I checked it out at Rotorua Kia. The EV5 on display was a demonstrator, with factory stock arriving mid-year. 📆The Kia EV5 is a mid-sized SUV, with similar design stylings to the bigger Kia EV9. Similar in size to Kia Sportage.The EV5 is built on a dedicated EV platform called N3 eK. This is a different platform to the EV6 and EV9, which are built on the E-GMP platform. ⚡️ The EV5 is based on a 400-volt electric architecture rather than the E-GMP 800-volt archetecture, meaning its charging speeds will be slower but still capable of accepting up to 141kW.EV5 will be able to accept over the air updates, with a Kia Connect phone app.#ev5 #kiaev5 #carreview Kia Rotorua 👉 https://kia.co.nz/find-a-dealer/dealer/rotorua-kia/
