Kia EV5, How to Win Consumers' Confidence on the Basis of Strength

The EV5 is a standard-sized compact SUV, with 'circumferences' of 4615/1875/1715 millimeters and a wheelbase of 2750 millimeters. However, the towering body shape makes the car look significantly larger than its actual size.

The EV5 is equipped with 18-inch wheels across the board, and the outside of the wheels are fitted with protective rim guards, which provide both aesthetic and practical effects.

Like the current mainstream pure electric SUVs, EV5 also adopts hidden door handles, automatic telescopic unlocking for getting in and out of the car, and intelligent rituals pulled full circle.

The rear end is a unique design, with the side windows and shoulders concave, so that from the rear, the part below the tailgate is very wide and solid, and further enlarges the visual effect of the body.

Echoing the headlamps, the taillamps also adopt a thin and narrow light band design style, with a clear geometric cutting design style, and visually widen the horizontal visual effect.

Interior: Uncomplicated Youthful Edition

Compared to the current Kia's fuel model, the EV5's interior features a new set of stylized design styles. For example, the center console has a more three-dimensional geometric cutout, and the ubiquitous soft package material. The materials used have improved significantly compared to previous Kia models, but the color of the interior is relatively single, which is easy to aesthetically fatigue.

In terms of functional design, EV5 adopts a combination of touch control and physical buttons in the form of presentation, the center control is equipped with a one-piece long bar screen, and below the air conditioning vents are equipped with physical buttons for adjusting the air conditioning and multimedia volume, which is more in line with the driver's daily operating habits than the form of a complete touch screen.

Functionality, the new car provides a 12.3-inch center control screen, and a 5-inch independent screen for air conditioning adjustment, built-in Kia Connect car system, hardware using NVIDIA Parker car-grade chip. In terms of operating experience, the response of light touch and sliding is relatively smooth, with no obvious lag; the main interface is equipped with a number of applications, such as multimedia, navigation, Tencent small scenes, etc., which can meet daily entertainment needs.

In order to facilitate the use of more users, in addition to Kia's own car machine system, the center control screen also supports Apple CarPlay interconnection, but also through the intelligent voice wake up to the air conditioning, multimedia, windows, telephone and other functions.

However, the car machine operation in the actual experience of the feeling of a slot, is the screen below the provision of a row of touch panels, if from the ergonomics point of view, separate carry out the main functions to do the shortcut keys is indeed more reasonable, but with the hand touch screen, the hand of the tiger's mouth position is very easy to accidentally touch the panel, which is certainly the need to improve the upgrading of the place.

Space: overall no shortcomings, vertical space has an advantage in the same class

EV5 adopts a more traditional compact SUV design form, which may be considered “conservative”, but it brings real space practicality. For example, the seating position is relatively upright, and there is plenty of headroom. In addition, EV5's seats are full and pliable, with solid cushion and backrest padding and soft texture, and the front row supports a one-touch zero-gravity function, so long-distance rides are not fatiguing.

In terms of storage space, EV5 provides two independent spaces, the front trunk and trunk, of which the volume of the front trunk is 67 liters, which can be temporarily placed in the travel backpack and other items; trunk conventional volume of 513 liters, after all the rear backrest is put down, it can be expanded to 1,718 liters, and presents a fully flat state, at this time to put a bouncy bed, lying down and looking at the stars of the desire to shine into reality.

Two separate compartments are provided under the trunk lid, and the inner lid can be flipped up to form a storage table with a stand, which expands the playability for outdoor play scenarios.

As a pure electric SUV, the most important concern for consumers must be the range performance.

Although we did not do a special test on the range achievement rate, but a few days of experience, has experienced, including ordinary city roads, elevated fast road conditions, including traffic jams, high speeds and other scenarios, the EV5 range achievement rate can basically reach about 80%.

In terms of power, the EV5 book parameters show that its maximum power is 160 kW and peak torque is 310 Nm. The official zero hundred acceleration data is not given, but according to personal test drive experience, it can basically reach 7 seconds or less, which is completely enough for daily driving.

For the next dynamic session, if I were to summarize the EV5's driving experience in one sentence, it would be a “flexible pure-electric SUV with a domestic comfort orientation”.
