A Closer Look at the GT-Line Sports Version
Kia’s new EV5 GT Line variant brings a sporty flair that appeals to enthusiasts looking for an electric vehicle with performance-focused styling and features. The GT Line stands out with its black-themed aesthetic, including a front fascia accented by blackened elements and 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels that exude dynamism.
Inside, the GT Line emphasizes sporty luxury, featuring a three-spoke, flat-bottom sports-style steering wheel that enhances the driving experience. The premium Harman Kardon audio system ensures superior sound quality, turning every journey into an immersive experience.
Under the hood, the GT Line boasts a dual-motor four-wheel-drive system delivering a maximum power of 233 kW (316 hp), translating into swift acceleration and agile handling. The vehicle offers a range of 580 kilometers (360 miles), catering to long-distance travelers, while its fast-charging capability allows the battery to charge from 30% to 80% in just 27 minutes.
Enhancements to the Standard 2025 EV5
The standard versions of the EV5 have not been left behind, offering a blend of luxury, sustainability, and practicality. Customers can choose between two range options: 530 kilometers (329 miles) or an extended 720 kilometers (447 miles) on a single charge, making the EV5 a versatile choice for both urban commuters and long-haul drivers.
The interior of the 2025 EV5 reflects Kia’s commitment to sophistication and eco-friendliness. A new blue-gray interior color scheme enhances the cabin’s modern appeal, while upgrades like a leather-wrapped steering wheel and matte-finished multifunctional touch buttons elevate the tactile experience.
