Kia EV5 Electric

With the VES/EEAI incentives and the relentless rise in COE prices, I finally decided to bite the bullet and make the switch to an EV. In today's rapidly expanding EV market, consumers are spoilt for choice across a wide range of budgets. It's a no-brainer to consider Chinese brands, given their futuristic designs and extensive feature sets at highly competitive prices. However, I found many of their interiors too similar and overly minimalist for my taste. There's also the lingering concern about their long-term durability and aftersales support—especially since many of these brands are still relatively new to our local market. After extensive research, I landed on the Kia EV5. Backed by an established brand, assembled right here in Singapore at the HMGICS facility, and supported by multiple service centers islandwide, it offers the peace of mind I was looking for. Its distinctive, boxy design also stands out in a sea of cookie-cutter EVs. Bonus points: the colour got the wife's approval. All in all, it ticked almost every box. During the test drive, the EV5 is noticeably larger than my previous car, which made the initial drive feel a bit daunting. Thankfully, my sales rep, Mr. Dom Wong, was extremely patient and knowledgeable. He walked me through the features in great detail and guided me on a comprehensive test drive route that allowed me to experience the car's performance across different road conditions.

I have been doing much research on this car. Having own an Ioniq 5 for the past 1 year, it just made my decision making way easier and faster. Kia being the sister brand of Hyundai, alot of the functions that i love in ioniq 5, are present in Kia EV5 too. The main difference would be EV5 is an SUV vs Ioniq 5 being a hatchback crossover. Both have amazing space to accommodate 5 pax. Boot space are decently large too. I did my test drive in C&C Alexandra. Dom Wong assisted me in the showroom. His professionalism n knowledge are top notch. Its great when i am making a big item purchase and being accompanied by someone as friendly as Dom. From enquiries till car collection has been totally flawless. Thanks Dom ?... Read More
