Kia EV5 new car shopping guide, how to choose the three models of the standard endurance version？

Nowadays, the pure tram market is divided into groups, with Tesla dominating the market, followed by the new forces represented by "Wei Xiaoli", and then the traditional independent brands that rely on strength to fight back. Faced with the pressure of the above "three mountains", the performance of joint venture brands in the field of pure electricity is indeed a bit inadequate. However, recently, Kia, which has more than 20 years of joint venture experience in China, has gradually begun to emerge in the electric vehicle market, which is not to be underestimated.

From the release of Kia China’s new energy strategy at EV Day in March this year, to the globally acclaimed "high-energy pure electric coupe" EV6 listed at Chengdu Auto Show, and then to the world’s first strategic pure electric SUV EV5 at Guangzhou Auto Show, we can see that Kia’s initial intention of deeply cultivating the China market remains unchanged. In particular, the EV5, which has just been listed, not only shows Kia’s sincerity to the China market, but also shows Kia’s global leading strength in the field of electric vehicles.

At the Guangzhou Auto Show, Song Husheng, president of KIA Global, claimed that EV5 was not only the first global vehicle to be listed in China, but also a special vehicle launched by KIA to celebrate its 80th anniversary next year. This shows the significance of this car to Kia. In this listing, EV5 took the lead in launching the standard endurance version, and the official suggested retail prices were: 149,800 yuan for the 530 Light version, 159,800 yuan for the 530 Air version and 174,800 yuan for the 530 Land version. At the same time, it also brought 7,000 yuan replacement subsidy, 8-year or 150,000-kilometer warranty for the three power plants, 5-year or 100,000-kilometer warranty for the whole vehicle, 5-year free full data traffic, 20% discount repurchase for one year or exclusive rights to buy a car with a financial interest of up to 130,000 interest for two years or up to 100,000 interest for three years, which can be said to be a one-time full sincerity.

As we all know, the competition in the electric vehicle market in China has reached a white-hot level. In order to win the China market better, joint venture car companies must take a stand and show full sincerity. Previously, Buick pulled the price of the medium and large-scale pure electric SUV of the joint venture to less than 170,000 for the first time, which caused widespread concern in the market. This time, Kia set the official price of the joint venture compact pure electric SUV within 150,000, which also won unanimous praise in the industry. The future market performance is promising.

So, why is the industry consistently optimistic about the market performance of Kia EV5? Let’s take a look at the following points.

1. Price: Kia EV5 low-priced version is priced at 149,800 yuan, even lower than its own brand model at the same level. It can be said that this price is very competitive.

2. Design: Inherited the design strength of Kia all the time, and highly restored the concept car design in the design with serious homogenization, and established a square and tough SUV classic style.

3. Space: the front and rear rows of space are leading at the same level, and they have the same level of front reserve boxes and foldable multi-scene small tables in the trunk.

4. Sandian: The comprehensive performance is at the leading level of the same level, and it also has a five-level intelligent kinetic energy recovery system at the same level, as well as the highest vehicle speed and the fastest charging speed.

5. Platform: Based on the development of the world’s top dedicated E-GMP platform for pure electricity.

6. Intelligence: L2 intelligent driver assistance system, which is the same as that of the same class. Among the joint venture brands, it is the first to equip China’s favorite car WeChat.

7. Configuration: The richness is the same as that of its peers, but it pays more attention to practicality. It is equipped with electric tailgate, seat heating, hidden door handle, heat pump air conditioner, and especially the only 7 airbags in its class, which China users like.

These are the basic points that the industry is generally optimistic about KIA EV5, and they can also be said to be the unique product advantages of EV5. Next, Xiaobian will make a detailed introduction to the above points for everyone, so that friends who have car purchase needs can make a better choice.

EV5 follows the brand-new design concept of Kia brand "Opposites United", and takes the core elements of "Bold for Nature" as the leading factor, presenting a generous and square front face, cooperating with the star-mark headlights with a unique sense of science and technology, and being highly recognizable, it perfectly interprets the future scientific and technological beauty of electric SUVs. The tough and powerful wheel arch edge on the side of the car body blends with the dynamic and smooth soft shape, creating a square and powerful car body posture.

What is rare is that the EV5 car is also equipped with dual-zone voice control. The driver and the co-pilot can control the windows, air conditioners, skylights, entertainment systems and other functions by voice, which is very intimate compared with many single-zone voice controls at the same level.

It only takes 27 minutes to complete the charging and recharging from 30% to 80%. In order to further meet users’ multi-scene car demand, both the 530 Air version and the 530 Land version provide V2L 220V power output in the trunk, so you can enjoy lasting power no matter where you are.

Under the same power, EV5 can have a longer cruising range than the same class.

In addition, it is worth noting that EV5 supports a 5-level adjustable intelligent kinetic energy recovery system, which can bring a linear driving experience comparable to that of fuel vehicles.

Summary:

According to the official, at the beginning of research and design, EV5 investigated the needs of consumers in China, and nearly 400 elite engineers from China participated in the research and development, which can better meet the needs of users in China.

From the product point of view, KIA EV5 has comprehensive strength in design, space, safety, health and intelligence, which can meet the daily travel needs of most users, and the three models of the standard endurance version are treated equally in the core three-electricity, safety and other parts, except for comfortable configuration and intelligent driving assistance. Among them, there is little difference between the 530 Light version and the 530 Air version. The only difference is the comfort configuration such as front seat heating and electric induction trunk with memory. However, the 530 Land version is only 15,000 yuan more expensive than the entry-level 530 Air version, but it has more advanced configurations such as adaptive far and near light, trunk multi-scene expansion table, roof rack and a complete set of L2+ intelligent driving assistance. Therefore, if there is no requirement for intelligent driver’s assistance, start with the 530 Air version, and the comfort configuration is guaranteed; Need a powerful intelligent driver’s advice to start with the 530 Land version. Of course, interested friends had better go offline for a test drive, and I believe they will get more surprises.
