Introducing the Kia PV5

The very first dedicated Platform Beyond Vehicle from Kia

The first Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) that will be launched in the UK is the Kia PV5, a fully electric, purpose-built model that blends cutting-edge technology with practical innovation. Designed to support the varying needs of both work and lifestyle, the PV5 offers a versatile line-up to suit all customers: Cargo, Passenger, Crew, and Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV).

The PV5 Cargo delivers up to 4.9m³ of load capacity, a low step-in height and built-in Fleet Management Systems (FMS) for business efficiency. The Passenger offers flexible 5 or 7-seat configurations, best-in-class ADAS, and advanced infotainment, while the Crew variant combines passenger comfort with adaptable cargo capacity for the best of both worlds. Finally, the WAV is purposefully designed with inclusive access and universal wheelchair compatibility.

Whatever your requirements, the PV5 is built to deliver, representing a bold new era of electric mobility.

Portable Storefront

If you're looking to take your business on the road with a portable pop-up store, Kia's professional business van range has you covered. With generous standing room and configurable space, you can tailor your van into the perfect mobile storefront.

Also, thanks to Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology, your Kia van can also act as a mobile power source.


Cargo Delivery

For businesses where efficiency and safety are essential, Kia's electric vans are the ideal solution. A low step height helps reduce physical strain during loading and unloading, while a integrated software tools support smarter operations through intelligent route planning and real-time fleet management.​


Electric Cab Ride-hailing Concept

Designed with passenger comfort in mind, the PV5-R electric van concept offers a spacious, intuitive interior that reflects Kia’s vision for future mobility.

With smart in-vehicle technology and a refined cabin experience, it’s perfectly suited for ride-hailing and taxi services, ensuring every journey is both comfortable and connected.


Future Business

Kia will align its PBV business with Hyundai Motor Group's key future businesses of Robotics, AAM (Advanced Air Mobility) and Autonomous driving to ultimately implement them in smart cities.

With Boston Dynamics driving innovation in logistics, Supernal developing air mobility hubs, and Motional advancing the PV5-R toward Level 4 autonomy, Kia is helping shape the smart cities of tomorrow.


Electric Van Solutions

Kia is creating advanced software solutions to boost business efficiency and support the shift to fully electric, autonomous vehicles. Its in-vehicle infotainment system adapts to driver needs in real time, while Fleet Management System uses AI cloud data for smarter, preventive maintenance and optimised operations.

Kia also plans to offer cutting-edge EV charging solutions, including scheduling and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technology.


Production System

In 2023, Kia began construction of its dedicated PBV Hwaseong EVO Plant, designed to revolutionise production with a blend of innovative cell-based methods and traditional conveyor systems.

The plant will soon adopt Dynamic Hybrid technology, allowing greater flexibility to meet a wide range of customer needs.
