Electric, with an RRP under the $91,661 fuel-efficient LCT threshold (2026-27). Under the ATO's electric cars exemption, a novated lease of an eligible electric car attracts no FBT if luxury car tax was never payable on it. The benefit is still reportable on your income statement.

Proposed, not law: the 2026-27 Budget would change this for cars over $75,000 from 1 April 2027 and for all electric cars from 1 April 2029. The ATO says the measure is not yet law (page updated 14 May 2026).

Overview

The 2026 Kia EV5 Air Standard Range FWD is a five-seat electric SUV with a single motor driving the front wheels, priced from $56,770 RRP, which is before on-road costs. It runs a 64.2kWh battery with a claimed 400km (WLTP) range, and it can take DC fast charging at a peak of 150kW. Boot space is 513 litres with the seats up and 1,714 litres with the rear seats folded. The catch is towing, which is rated at 300kg braked and 300kg unbraked, so it's not one for hauling a decent trailer or caravan. It suits families after a roomy electric SUV for daily driving and the odd road trip, rather than anyone who needs to tow.

Prices may vary between states and territories. Additional costs such as compulsory third party (CTP) insurance, dealer delivery fees, and optional extras are not included. These prices are subject to change without notice and may not reflect current market pricing or dealer offers. Always confirm final pricing with your local authorised dealer.

P-plate vehicle rules, our reading

P-plate OK in all states and territories we cover. This reads the manufacturer's power and tare mass against each state's published rule.

WA, TAS, ACT and NT have no power-based P-plate restriction in the conditions they publish.

Your state's own list overrides this reading: check it before you buy.

P-plate rules current as of 6 November 2026. Each state's rule can change and has its own list. We read the rules from the regulators and re-check them; confirm with your state before you buy.

Safety recalls on the Kia EV5

What Kia's spec sheet does not print

We read the document and it does not carry these figures. That is a finished question, not a gap we have not looked at.

The 2026 Kia EV5 Air Standard Range FWD is a five-seat electric SUV with a single motor driving the front wheels, priced from $56,770 RRP, which is before on-road costs. It runs a 64.2kWh battery with a claimed 400km (WLTP) range, and it can take DC fast charging at a peak of 150kW. Boot space is 513 litres with the seats up and 1,714 litres with the rear seats folded. The catch is towing, which is rated at 300kg braked and 300kg unbraked, so it's not one for hauling a decent trailer or caravan. It suits families after a roomy electric SUV for daily driving and the odd road trip, rather than anyone who needs to tow.

The 2026 Kia EV5 Air Long Range FWD is a fully electric five-seat SUV with front-wheel drive, priced from $61,170 RRP, which means before on-road costs. It's got a claimed 555km of WLTP range from its 88.1kWh battery, and DC fast charging peaks at 150kW. Boot space is 513 litres with the seats up and 1,714 litres with the rear seats folded, and it can tow 1,250kg braked. Worth knowing, the 750kg unbraked towing figure is modest if you're planning to pull a small trailer without brakes. It suits a family wanting a roomy electric SUV for daily driving with enough range for longer trips.
