The Weekender, known as WKNDR from Kia, is now a range of four concepts released so far. In the lineup, it sits above the X-Pro tier of Kia products, including the Tasman, Sportage, and Telluride. Though the future and production confirmation of the EV5 Weekender have not been shared by Kia yet, it is expected that the EV5 Weekender may reach production.
There is no official information regarding the performance features and powertrain of the Kia EV5 Weekender concept, but the model is believed to be powered by a version of the dual-motor all-wheel drive that’s offered in the EV5 GT-Line. The EV5 is already among the lucrative EV offerings from Kia, and the off-road-focused version has the potential to make the car even more popular in the Kingdom.
