Kia PV5: electric van offers customized options for all types of use (Instagram @kia.worldwide)
The Kia PV5 is a versatile electric van, presented at the Kia EV Day 2025 event, with three distinct versions: Passenger, Cargo, and Chassis Cab.
This Kia model can also be customized for different uses, such as a food truck, motorhome, or accessible vehicle for wheelchair users.
With dimensions slightly smaller than the Volkswagen ID. Buzz, the PV5 can accommodate up to eight people in the Passenger version and offers a generous space, capable of carrying up to two European pallets in the Cargo version.
The van is powered by the E-GMP.S platform, derived from the E-GMP architecture used in other Kia, Hyundai, and Genesis vehicles. With front-wheel drive, the PV5 features a single motor that generates 161 hp and 250 Nm of torque, offering a range of up to 400 km, depending on the version and battery selected.
The model comes with different battery options, including a larger 71.2 kWh version and a 43.3 kWh option for the Cargo version. Charging from 10% to 80% takes about half an hour.
Kia plans to launch the PV5 in Europe and Korea in 2025, with the possibility of expanding to other markets in 2026. Despite the 25% tariff affecting the importation of the van to North America, the brand plans to find a solution to bring the model to the United States.
Additionally, the name PV5 paves the way for the launch of larger and smaller models within Kia’s Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) lineup.
