Kia EV5: The Car That Is Bad At Nothing??

Video Description

Jack Scarlett is in Korea to test the new Kia EV5 — Kia’s all-electric midsize SUV that slots nicely between the smaller EV3 and the big EV9. Built on the EGMP platform, it's got great range, a comfy cabin, and the classic Kia practicality we've come to love and expect. In this quick drive, we see how it stacks up against the rest of Kia’s EV lineup and find out whether you should pick this over the EV3 or PV5. 0:00 - Introduction 0:37 - Everything Electric Advert 1:01 - First Impressions 1:22 - PV5 Comparison & Market Position 2:00 - Gap Filler in Kia's EV Range 2:31 - European vs Asia-Pacific Differences 2:50 - Exterior Design Walkaround 3:31 - E-GMP Platform Benefits 3:47 - Battery & Range 4:17 - Power Options & GT Version 4:30 - The EV3 Problem: Why Choose EV5? 4:50 - Rear Seat & Boot Space 5:23 - Interior Overview & Design 6:19 - Missing Bench Seat Option 7:12 - A Quick Test Drive 7:41 - Regenerative Braking & Auto Mode 8:12 - Competence & Refinement 8:42 - Efficiency & Real-World Range 9:07 - The Smaller Car Argument 10:20 - Final Verdict 11:07 - Concluding Thoughts Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: https://everythingelectric.show Check out our sister channel Everything Electric CARS: https://www.youtube.com/@fullychargedshow Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become an Everything Electric Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Become a YouTube member: use JOIN button above Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Everything Electric newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/officialeverythingelectric To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: [email protected] Everything Electric MELBOURNE - Melbourne Showgrounds 14th, 15th & 16th November 2025 Everything Electric SYDNEY - Sydney Olympic Park 6th, 7th & 8th March 2026 EE NORTH (Harrogate) - 8th & 9th May 2026 EE WEST (Cheltenham) - 12th & 13th June 2026 EE GREATER LONDON (Twickenham) - 11th & 12th Sept 2026 #fullychargedshow #everythingelectricshow #homeenergy #cleanenergy #battery #electriccars #electric-vehicles-uk
