Kia EV3, EV4 and EV5: three new electric models revealed

Kia has showcased three new models, giving a glimpse of what its line-up could look like in just a few years.

The EV5 is a production-ready SUV, based on Kia's E-GMP platform. It will sit alongside the existing Sportage, as an electric equivalent, when it goes on sale in 2025.

Kia will offer the EV5 with a selection of electric powertrains, including single- and dual-motor variants.There will be Standard and Long Range battery options, as well as a performance focused GT.

Inside, the EV5 will be equipped with a pair of panoramic digital screens and Kia says the interior will be largely constructed from recycled materials.

A smaller SUV, named EV3, was revealed in concept form and is likely to go on sale next year as a replacement for the current Kia Soul.

It has a rugged, modern design and a minimalist interior. No technical details about the EV3 have been revealed.

Alongside its two SUVs, Kia has also revealed an electric saloon. A clear evolution of the EV6, the EV4 is billed as an "entirely new type of EV saloon".

The EV4 is likely to arrive in 2025, competing with the BMW i4 and Tesla Model 3.

Kia has kept technical details quiet, for now, but it's likely the EV4 will use the same powertrains as the Hyundai Ioniq 6.
