The cheapest EV5, the Air, arrives in two guises, Standard Range or Long Range, and the former is something of a bargain. It’s the only EV5 to get included on-road costs, and Kia is asking $56,770, on the road. That puts it well below the Tesla Model Y. As of right now, the single-motor Tesla is $60,868, on the road, in NSW.
Next is the Air Long Range, which lists at $61,170, before on-road costs.
Air models get 18-inch alloys, LED lighting all around, roof racks and power mirrors, while inside there are cloth-and-synthetic leather seats, with a massage function for the driver, along with a synthetic leather steering wheel and LED interior lighting.
Tech is covered by twin 12.3-inch screens, with a smaller 5.0-inch climate screen sandwiched between them, and there’s in-built sat nav, a six-speaker stereo and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The Air Standard Range and Long Range are both powered by a single front-mounted electric motor, producing 160kW and 310Nm.
Standard Range then gets a 64.2 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, weighing in at a hefty 428kg, which delivers a range of of 400km. The Long Range gets an 88.1kWh battery, upping the range to 555km.
