Kia Launches Expanded Electric Van Range with PV5 Models

Kia Deutschland GmbH has launched its PV5 range, expanding its electric light commercial vehicle offerings. The lineup is built on Kia's "Purpose-Built Vehicle" (PBV) vision and includes various configurations such as Cargo, Crew, and Passenger.

The PV5 Cargo variant is engineered for goods and freight transport, providing a cargo space of up to 5.1 cubic meters. It integrates business-optimized software, including Geotab's Fleet Management Solutions (FMS), to aid fleet management.

The Crew model features a flexible rear area adaptable for both passengers and equipment, with securement systems for irregularly shaped cargo. The Passenger version offers configurable seating for five to seven individuals and advanced driver-assistance systems.

Specialized variants also include a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) and a Chassis Cab model intended for custom conversions. Kia first presented the PV5 Cargo and Crew in the UK in April 2025.
