Passenger & Commercial KIA’s bring style to the street

PBV – new initials from an old friend – heralds the introduction to Ireland of the all- 
new commercial and passenger range from KIA. The PV5 is Kia’s first model to 
launch under the company’s Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) strategy. 
Purpose built to meet the evolving needs of modern transportation, the PV5 seek to 
offer smarter, more adaptable, and user-focused solutions for modern transportation 
needs. The PV5 is now on sale through 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 is 
based on the brands Electric-Global Modular Platform for Service (E-GMP.S) with 
L2/H1 Passenger and Cargo versions available from launch, with additional variants 
to follow in July for the 262-registration period. With an electric range of up to 416 
kilometres and ultra-fast charging capabilities, 80 per cent in just 30 minutes, the 
PV5 makes for a very user-friendly load carrier. 
PV5 Passenger’s profile 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. Robust 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 an elegantly chamfered D-pillar line that enhances the vehicle’s 
sense of volume while the electric tailgate, set above a strong protective bumper 
ensures maximum practicality. While the PV5 Cargo shares the same geometric 
design as the PV5 Passenger but 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. 
PV5 Cargo, which was recently crowned International Van of the Year for 2026 is 
also capable of carrying two Euro pallets, has a payload of 690kg and a cargo volume 
of 4.4m 3. The PV5 Cargo was also awarded a maximum 5-star Euro NCAP rating. 
Both PV5 Cargo and Passenger models come with Kia’s 7-year warranty including an 
8-year battery warranty.
