The New Kia PV5 Cargo: Built for Every Business
The innovative Kia PV5 Cargo seamlessly blends a modern, practical design for today’s business with the bold styling of tomorrow’s EVs. Highly versatile and engineered to adapt, it serves as the ultimate partner for logistics, small businesses, and mobile service providers alike. Maximised cargo space is at the very heart of its design, offering a generous 4,420-litre capacity alongside an ultra-low 418mm step-in height for effortless loading. Capable of handling up to a 790kg payload, it ensures your daily operations stay moving with ultimate efficiency.
Innovative Utility for Modern Fleets
The Kia PV5 Cargo establishes a new benchmark for small electric commercial vehicles in the UK, delivering an exceptional blend of utility and technology. Built on the dedicated E-GMP electric platform, it offers up to 4,420 litres of usable cargo volume alongside a generous maximum payload of 790kg. Drivers can choose between a 51.5 kWh standard-range battery or a 71.2kWh long-range variant that yields up to 258 miles on a single charge. Both options support 150kW DC rapid charging to get from 10% to 80% in under 30 minutes, keeping operations running smoothly.
Futuristic Exterior Styling
The exterior design seamlessly merges tomorrow's EV aesthetics with rugged everyday functionality. Up front, a futuristic "Tiger Face" layout integrates sleek signature lighting that extends high into the A-pillar, giving the van a distinct road presence. Designed with real-world business in mind, it features easy-to-swap bumper corners that lower repair costs, alongside broad flat side panels perfectly optimised for custom company signage.
Optimised Cargo Access Designed for Effortless Loading
At the rear, functionality dictates form with a wide, geometric layout and a full-open tailgate that simplifies loading. It boasts the lowest rear step-in height in its class at just 419mm, drastically reducing physical strain during multi-drop delivery routes. The internal floor incorporates robust protective trims and strategic mounting points to securely anchor heavy cargo payloads all day long.
Driver-Centric Tech The Mobile Office Cabin
Inside, the driver area transforms into a highly connected mobile workspace designed around a 12.9-inch central infotainment touchscreen and a 7.5-inch supervision cluster. Features like a central sliding tray provide a practical surface for on-the-go paperwork or laptops, while integrated 100W USB-C ports ensure vital communication devices stay powered.
Maximising Operational Uptime
Fast Depot and Destination Replenishment
The Kia PV5 Cargo features a highly practical, front-centre-mounted charging port layout, making it incredibly easy to pull straight into tight depot bays or public charging stations without fighting stiff cables. While 150kW DC rapid charging handles quick turnarounds on the road, overnight replenishment is managed by an efficient 11kW onboard AC charger. This AC setup safely powers the standard 51.5kWh battery from 10% to 100% in 4 hours and 45 minutes, while the larger 71.2kWh long-range pack achieves a full replenishment in 6 hours and 30 minutes.
To safeguard business efficiency during cold British winters, the PV5 Cargo comes equipped with an advanced battery heating system that preconditions the cells for optimum performance. On the go, the innovative Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) system transforms the van into a mobile energy bank. Standard on the 'Plus' grade, this feature outputs 220V of electricity via internal and external ports, allowing tradespeople to run heavy-duty power tools or charge equipment straight from the vehicle's high-voltage traction battery.
