Kia is firing on all cylinders. After the success of the Kia EV6, the company is about to follow things up with the much larger Kia EV9. But it isn’t stopping there. Kia recently announced a few other new electric cars that are set to join its lineup in the near future — including the EV5.
Related Renders of the car from Kia indicate that it will follow the same overall design language as the EV9. That means it’ll have a blocky design, with unique LED light signatures at both the front and the back. It’ll have a length of 181.7 inches, which makes it a little shorter than even the EV6, but it’ll be much taller than the EV6, and thus have more interior space.
There are conflicting reports as to whether or not the EV5 will be sold in the U.S. It doesn’t seem as though the company plans to build the car at its U.S. plant — which means that it won’t qualify for the federal EV tax credit. Some reports suggest that the car won’t come to the U.S., while others note that it will be sold in North American. Both could be true, if it’s sold in Mexico and/or Canada.
