Kia EV5 achieves 5-star ANCAP safety rating, but some details raise eyebrows. Does this validate its position as a true Tesla Model Y competitor? The marginal and adequate ratings in certain crash test categories, particularly the concerning footwell integrity and dashboard structure issues, warrant discussion. How heavily should these specific results weigh against the overall 5-star rating when cross-shopping against a Model Y? Are these findings enough to sway potential buyers, or does the overall rating combined with the EV5's price point make it a compelling option despite these imperfections? Interested to hear your thoughts.
