Introducing the Kia PV5 — A Modular Electric Vehicle That Redefines Utility

Kia is expanding its vision of mobility with the all-new PV5, a fully electric vehicle developed under its Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) strategy. Designed to adapt to a wide range of uses—from passenger transport to commercial applications—the PV5 reimagines what a modern electric utility vehicle can be.

💡 Bold Design Meets Practical Innovation

The Kia PV5 immediately stands out with its futuristic, geometric design, combining functionality with a confident, modern look. Its upright silhouette, large glass surfaces, and rugged wheel-arch cladding provide both excellent visibility and a strong, SUV-inspired presence.

Offered in Passenger and Cargo configurations, the PV5 is built on a single, highly flexible platform capable of supporting multiple body styles and professional conversions—reflecting Kia’s vision of adaptable, purpose-driven mobility.

🔌 Electric Performance Built for Everyday Use

Under the skin, the PV5 delivers a balanced blend of performance and efficiency:

  • 120 kW electric motor (approx. 163 hp) producing 250 Nm of torque
  • Up to 400 km (WLTP) of driving range, depending on configuration
  • DC fast charging from 10–80% in around 30 minutes
  • Over-the-Air (OTA) updates to keep systems current
  • Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability to power tools or equipment directly from the battery

(*Specifications may vary by market and version.)

🧰 Designed Around Modularity

One of the PV5’s strongest advantages is its adaptability:

  • Passenger version suited for shuttles, ride-sharing services, and families
  • Cargo version featuring a low floor and generous load capacity for urban logistics
  • Future conversions including high-roof vans, chassis cab, camper builds, and wheelchair-accessible vehicles—enabled by Kia’s open, modular PBV platform

This flexibility positions the PV5 as a serious solution for businesses, municipalities, and mobility services looking to electrify without compromise.

📅 What’s Next

Following its initial launch in Korea and Europe, Kia plans a gradual rollout into additional markets, including Canada, starting in 2026.
