The Ceed Sportswagon is competitive in lots of areas – especially price – but there are better estate cars

Kia’s award-winning electric line-up has been going from strength-to-strength over the past few years. In fact, we crowned the Kia EV3 as our Best Small Electric SUV at the 2026 What Car? Awards. Its impressive range, generous kit and comfortable ride earned it a full five stars with our road test team.

 

At the opposite end of the SUV spectrum sits the mighty Kia EV9, and much like its smaller sibling, it’s a What Car? Award winner. We named the EV9 as the Best Electric 7-seat SUV for 2026 thanks to its impressive real-world range, rapid charging speeds and hugely spacious interior.

 

And now, Kia has an exciting new addition to bridge the gap between the smaller EV3 and larger EV9 – the Kia EV5 family SUV. It’s packed with clever tech that’s intuitive to use, and its advanced suite of driver assistance systems will offer peace of mind for owners with families. Add to that a roomy interior, lengthy list of standard equipment and strong electric range, and the Kia EV5 is well positioned to mirror the success of its Kia forbears. Is it time you took one for a test drive?

The width of the interior means that three adults should be able to fit fairly comfortably when sitting in the rear, while a completely flat floor ensures that the middle seat passenger has plenty of foot space – What Car?
