The DriveAgent guide
DriveAgent research synthesis, not a first-hand road test. Driving impressions are attributed to their original reviewers; manufacturer claims and overseas observations are identified separately.
This researched guide covers the Australian MY26 GT-Line Long Range sedan, with a front-wheel-drive battery-electric powertrain and five seats. It combines James Wong’s Australian GT-Line launch assessment with Kia’s retained MY26 specification sheet. DriveAgent has not road-tested the car. The impressions concern GT-Line Long Range; they are not separate tests of Air or Earth. The production build interval for this grade is unverified. This guide does not establish build-specific safety applicability and does not provide a numeric score.

CarExpert’s Wong reports effective bump absorption in the tested GT-Line Long Range. That supports considering the GT-Line for comfort, while remaining one reviewer’s experience on the launch route.

Wong describes generous rear legroom but limited head clearance for taller people. Kia lists a 490-litre VDA boot with all five seats raised. Seat comfort and cargo measurements answer different questions, so check both against your own use.

The archived MY26 sheet lists 150kW, 1912kg kerb mass and 612km of declared WLTP range for GT-Line Long Range. The car is 4730mm long. WLTP range is a standardised manufacturer figure, not a measured result from DriveAgent.
