The exterior design of the new Kia PV5 electric van has been revealed
Kia Motors has released official images of the production version of its PV5 electric van, which was first shown in concept form at CES 2024.
Here's What We Know
The model is available in passenger and cargo versions. The PV5 retains the concept's futuristic design, complete with plastic dodger to give it a more off-road look. The PV5 also gets large side mirrors and a prominent charging port cover in the centre of the front bumper.
Volkswagen competitor ID. Buzz has adopted the concept's high-mounted angular LED daytime running lights combined with directional indicators. The main headlamps are placed lower down, flanked by the charging port. A front camera is mounted under the company logo, and it's hard to miss the adaptive cruise control radar under the licence plate. The Cargo version features side-opening bi-fold doors, while the passenger model has a one-piece lift-up boot door.
No interior images have been released yet, but from the looks of it, we can conclude that the PV5 will get split screens for the dashboard and infotainment system. Both versions feature massive handles on the front pillars, with the passenger model featuring a larger glazing area.
The Kia PV5 is scheduled to be fully unveiled on 24 February at the Kia EV Day 2025 event in Tarragona, Spain. Full specifications of the car will be released a little later.
