November arrival for KIA’s new PV5

Kia Ireland have announced full details of the Kia PV5, the first model to launch 
under the company’s Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) strategy and will arrive in 
Ireland in November. 
Kia’s EV technology seeks to fulfil the diverse needs of a broad customer base by 
providing unprecedented flexibility and customisation through innovative 
modularity. Purpose built to meet the evolving needs of modern transportation, the 
PV5 offers a smart, adaptable, and user-focused solution for modern transportation 
needs. 
Starting immediately, customers can place orders for the PV5 Passenger and Cargo 
variants from any of Kia’s nine dedicated PBV Centres nationwide. All versions will 
feature a 71.2 kWh battery and 120 kW Electric motor as standard. 
 
Manufactured at Kia’s EVO production facility in Hwaseong, South Korea, the PV5 
embodies next-generation engineering and scalable manufacturing processes. PV5 is 
based on the brands Electric-Global Modular Platform for Service (E-GMP.S) and 
production will start next month for L2/H1 Passenger (5 seat) and Cargo (2 seat) 
versions, additional variants will follow in 2026. The PV5 features an electric range 
of up to 416 kilometres and ultra-fast charging capabilities, reaching 80 per cent in 
just 30 minutes. 
 
Ronan Flood, Managing Director of Kia Ireland, commented, “The start of PV5 sales 
is a milestone not only for us here in Ireland but also for our wider strategy to drive 
electrification across Europe. From adaptive configurations to impressive digital 
features to and intelligent connectivity, the PV5 delivers a dynamic, forward-thinking 
solution for both businesses and private customers alike.” 
 
The design of the PV5 Passenger delivers excellent visibility thanks to the large 
window area, made possible by a low beltline. The model’s window area is framed by 
black glass surrounds that contrast with the PV5’s body colour. Black wheel arch 
claddings and rocker panels give continuity with Kia’s SUV line-up while the bold 
lighting signature and sleek black accents elevate its modern appeal. The rear 
showcases the chamfered D-pillar line that enhances the vehicle’s sense of volume 
while the electric tailgate, set above a strong protective bumper. 
While the PV5 Cargo shares the same geometric design as the PV5 Passenger, it 
features a boxier profile that reflects its enhanced space efficiency. Clean, modern 
aesthetics elevate the PV5 Cargo’s design over traditional light commercial vehicles. 
A key difference lies in the Cargo’s twin side-opening doors, which provide optimal 
practicality and ease of access for loading and unloading. The rear design 
complements the sleek side lines, boosting load capacity and creating a more open 
feel.
