A concept car previewing the production version was revealed in China on 20 March 2023, at the brand's EV Day event.[6] The concept uses sustainable materials throughout the interior,[7] including plant-based materials such as seaweed extract and recycled plastic bottles used on the seat trim, headliner and door and dashboard linings.[8]

The production version of the EV5 was released in August 2023 at the Chengdu Motor Show. The model was designed using Kia's 'Opposites United' design language,[9] also featuring a new version of the brand's trademark 'Digital Tiger Face', incorporating a new lighting signature.[10]

The EV5 is powered by a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery produced by FinDreams, and a 160 kW (215 hp; 218 PS) electric motor with 310 N⋅m (31.6 kg⋅m; 229 lb⋅ft) maximum torque.[11][12] For export markets, the EV5 will be equipped with a nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) battery with a capacity of up to 82 kWh.[13]
