Kia EV3 or EV5 for towing a caravan?

Can you give me an EV5 vs. EV3 comparison with considering towing a light caravan under 1,000kg. What is the cross over point when prices match?

Hi Rod,

I’m afraid we don’t have any pricing information on the Kia EV5 as yet, and they’re unlikely to be announced until much later in 2025 as the car is not due to land until the end of the year.

The most an EV3 can tow is 1,000kg, officially (and not all versions can do that), while the EV5 will have a maximum tow rating of up to 1,250kg. The EV5 is clearly a larger vehicle and better suited to towing in any case.
