Kia EV5 To Debut In China On Aug 25; Will It Be Launched In India Too? Full Details Inside

Kia will unveil the production-spec EV5 SUV, the automaker's third born-EV product after the EV6 and the full-size EV9 SUV, on August 25 at the Chengdu Motor Show in China. This SUV was first revealed as a concept by the South Korean automaker earlier this year. 

The Kia EV5 will be supported by the modular E-GMP skateboard platform, which also supports the EV6 and the EV9. Kia, meanwhile, has announced four other electric vehicles will be supported by the modular E-GMP skateboard platform by 2026. The EV5 is likely to receive an identical powertrain option to the EV6; hence, a 75-80kWh battery pack with a maximum range of more than 482 km can be predicted.
