KIA SHAKES UP LCV MARKET WITH REVEAL OF NEW PBV VAN LINEUP

Kia has already paved the way for other manufacturers in the EV market, and now plans to disrupt the LCV market with their new line up of fully electric vans.
27 May 2025

The Kia PBV is a brand-new electric van range designed to make working and travelling easier, greener, and more cost-effective. Built on Kia’s specialist electric platform, the PV5 offers excellent space, performance, and low running costs - whether you’re transporting goods or passengers.

Every PV5 comes with Kia’s industry-leading 7-year / 100,000-mile warranty and 20,000-mile / 2-year service intervals, helping to keep costs low and confidence high.

Pre-orders for the PV5 Cargo and Passenger models are now open, with first customer deliveries expected by the end of the year. The PV5 is just the beginning. A larger electric commercial vehicle, the PV7, is planned for 2027, followed by the PV9 in 2029. Each model will offer increasing size, capability, and flexibility to suit a wide range of customers. Read on to discover more about the full line up.

PV5 CREW

The Crew van’s second-row space can be freely transformed into a cargo area for people and equipment, whatever the journey. Kia directly manufactures and guarantees all the conversion specifications, such as the three L-Tracks to secure irregular-shaped cargo, for the highest level of quality.

PV5 Crew pricing is due to be revealed later this year.
