There’s a very obvious idea at the heart of the Kia EV5. Take everything that makes the Sportage such a strong seller in the UK — the sensible size, the family-friendly cabin, the straightforward controls, the easygoing nature — and turn it into an electric car. And that’s exactly what Kia has done. The EV5 is a mid-sized SUV that feels designed to make life easy for people to live with, and just happens to be electric. It’s roomy, comfortable, well equipped and simple to get on with.
