TORONTO, Nov. 27, 2025 /CNW/ - Today, Kia Canada is announcing pricing and the start of online reservations for the highly anticipated Kia EV5, giving Canadians their first opportunity to order the new all-electric SUV. Exclusive to Canada for the North American market, the EV5 enters the largest vehicle segment in Canada and is the first of three affordable EVs arriving in Canada in 2026.
"The Kia EV5 is available in nine different trims, providing Canadians with plenty of options that meet a variety of preferences," said Elias El-Achhab, COO and Vice President at Kia Canada. "Competing in the largest SUV segment in Canada as a dedicated EV, the EV5 truly is the revolution of the family SUV perfect for empowering modern families with all the technology and convenience they require."
Power of Choice, Choice of Power
Customers will be given an abundance of choice when it comes to EV5. Starting with the power unit, two battery size options will be available: a standard range 60.3 kWh on the Light trim and a long range 81.4 kWh starting from the Wind trim. With various configurations to select from, the EV5 will have availability in front wheel drive and all-wheel drive, suitable for all types of driving styles and conditions in Canada. Owners will also benefit from access to more DC fast charging outlets across the country, as the EV5 will be equipped with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) port.
Signature Design Cues that Command the Road
Built on the foundation of Kia's design philosophy, 'Opposites United,' EV5 is inspired by the 'Bold for Nature' pillar. Taking many styling cues from the flagship EV9, parallels are observed in the structured, confident exterior lines and commanding stance that EV5 exhibits.
Kia's signature EV 'tiger face' grille and unmistakable 3-dimensional star map lighting pattern will have the EV5 standing out on the road like no other. Along the side, it is sculpted for a dynamic silhouette giving it a dignified and voluminous stance, that will harmonize with the available 18, 19 and 20-inch alloy wheel designs. Cohesiveness continues through to the rear of the vehicle, tied together with combination taillights and a spoiler which not only elongates the vehicle, but provides aerodynamic support as well. EV5 will be available in eight different colours, including two that are new to Kia, Magma Red and Frost Blue.
Intersection of Sport-Inspired and Luxury
The EV5's exterior sportiness is brought into the interior, and complimented by luxury appointments throughout, elevating the ownership atmosphere. With soft-touch surfaces and minimalist aesthetic, EV5 will contain the brand's 10 environmentally mindful materials, in line with other Kia EVs, in an effort to innovate and modernize its vehicle interiors. Upon entering the cabin, nearly 30 inches of panoramic screen greet the driver's view, the conduit to all of the necessary conveniences and functionalities the EV5 will deliver on. With total seating for five passengers, comfort is not only limited to the applied materials, but also in dimensions for shoulder width and legroom for optimal well-being. Extending the experience one step further is consideration for ambiance with available mood lamp, which can be adjusted at leisure to match the occupant's style. Storage is ample throughout the entire cabin, especially in the console area, partly in thanks to the shifting mechanism being mounted to the steering column. Cargo capacity will be generous, especially with the completely flat-folding second-row seats and the benefit of additional storage space in the front trunk for items like an adapter or charging cable.
