AutoExec Summary
Kia Australia has found multiple benefits in sourcing the electric EV5 crossover from China, including strong supply and close collaboration with the Chinese team to ensure the vehicle is suitable for the Australian market. The company expects to bring in up to 850 EV5s monthly and sell 10,200 annually, challenging other Chinese-built electric cars in the Australian market. The EV5 is set to arrive in Australia before markets like Europe and the UK, with a flagship GT-Line following later in the year.
