The E5 model features various driving assistance system packages, a smart touch panel that allows control of the headlamps and doors from outside, a lever-type electronic gear shift, and a 12.3-inch digital cluster. It comes standard with 18-inch diamond-cut wheels, and there are five exterior color options.


There is an outdoor V2L connector to use electronic devices outside the vehicle, and a scheduled charging function is also available. After tax benefits, the price is 40.28 million KRW for the E3 and 45.44 million KRW for the E5. Considering the national subsidy of 3.99 million KRW and local government subsidies, the price in Seoul is in the 35 million KRW range, and in some regions with lower subsidies, it can be as low as the 20 million KRW range. Customers can choose low-interest installment plans ranging from 3.5% to 5.5% depending on the down payment, and a 200,000 KRW discount is offered to those who own an electric vehicle or have an older car.
