Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · eerste generatie (EU-spec 2025+, E-GMP 400V)

Kia EV5

Mid-size electric SUV on the E-GMP platform in 400V architecture (no 800V fast charging like the EV6/EV9). EU debut July 2025, sales started in the final quarter of 2025. Single-motor FWD with 81.4 kWh battery, about 530 km WLTP, 218 hp (manufacturer figure). DC charging peaks around 150 kW; 10-80% in about 30 minutes (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). 566 l boot, 1,200 kg braked towing weight. Indicative from-price for the Netherlands; check the official configurator for the current figure.

Profile · CV, facelift (2024)

Kia EV6

Electric crossover by Kia, related to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and built on the same high-voltage architecture (800 volt), which allows fast charging up to 258 kW. 2024 facelift with a larger 84 kWh battery. WLTP range 528 km for the rear-wheel-drive Long Range (manufacturer figure). That charging peak is high; a 10-80% charge takes about 18 minutes (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). Indicative from-price; check the official configurator for the current figure.
