Updated 2027 Kia EV5
Australian Design Rule (ADR) documents have revealed the updated Kia EV5: the crossover will receive more powerful versions, suspension changes, and exterior updates. The model is expected in Australia in mid-2027.
ADR certification documents have disclosed details about the updated Kia EV5. The power of the front-wheel-drive version will increase to 175 kW, while the all-wheel-drive version will reach 249 kW; battery types will remain unchanged.
For the base Standard Range version, the permissible towing mass for braked trailers will be increased to 750 kg. For other configurations, this figure will remain the same. Additionally, Kia Australia will retune the suspension to suit local conditions.
Exterior changes will affect bumpers and decorative elements, but according to the documents, headlights and taillights will not be modified. The interior is not shown in the documents, though a new screen layout with combined multimedia and front passenger displays is expected.
