Inside, the Kia EV5 prioritises comfort and modularity. The cabin feels like a living room, with generous space for all passengers. The rear seats fold completely flat, making it easy to transform the interior based on your needs, whether you're carrying luggage or taking a rest during a break.
Rear passengers also benefit from excellent legroom, an important feature for Rwandan families who often travel long distances. Up front, the Premium Relaxation seats offer heating, ventilation, and even a massage function for the driver. Practical details like the sliding centre console and well-thought-out storage compartments make daily use of the vehicle even more enjoyable.
Range and charging: built for modern usage
The Kia EV5 is built on a modern electric platform that delivers solid range and efficient charging. It can travel up to approximately 530 km on a single charge, easily covering daily commutes and intercity journeys across Rwanda. Its towing capacity reaches 1,200 kg, a clear advantage for those who regularly transport equipment or occasional loads.
This SUV goes even further with smart technologies such as:
Charging external devices (V2L)
Powering a home (V2H)
Exchanging energy with the grid (V2G)
These features allow you to use the vehicle's energy well beyond simply driving.
