Kia is planning on offering a full range of Kia professional business vans by 2026, with some variants available in the second half of 2025. The PBV (Platform Beyond Vehicle) concept is to offer a range of vans that is 100% electric, which has been carefully planned to better suit diverse customer needs.
The professional business range of solutions will vary from Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) to People Carriers, all of which combine commercial vehicle technology with advanced software solutions - the ideal winning formula! The range will offer different profiles, layouts and interiors, so you can truly have something that caters to your business or personal needs.
Kia PBV's have not only been designed to help towards a sustainable future but to also make your business operate more efficiently. Here are just some examples of the benefits:
Kia business vans have the added benefit of being a mobile power bank for electrical devices. This could include store lights, digital displays, power tools etc - this could even mean you could have your own portable pop-up store!
The Kia PBV range has been designed to have low step height which means they help minimise strain when loading/ un-loading. All vans will also have a suite of specialised software solutions which means if you operate a fleet of delivery vehicles you can optimise operations with routing.
Businesses can optimise their energy costs with seamless charging process and suggesting the charging infrastructure and solutions to best suit you as the customer.
This alongside ultra-fast charging capabilities of 10-80% in less than 30 minutes* for the Kia PV5 Cargo will keep the vans on the road for as long as possible.
Kia PBV Maintenance Solutions have the aim of minimising both the cost and time spent on maintenance, taking advantage of over-the-air updates, predictive repair and premium support from our team at GWR Kia. On top of this, every PBV model will be covered with Kia's 7-year manufacturer's warranty.

Worldwide Kia is referring to PBV as Platform Beyond Vehicle - which is Kia's vision to go beyond traditional concept of a van and create a total mobility solution designed to enhance the user experience.
Within the UK, PBV will stand for Professional Business Vans.
The first PBV model to be released will be the Kia PV5, which will be followed by the PV7. The PV5 will be available in 5 different variants, the PV5 Cargo, PV5 Crew, PV5 Chassis Cab, PV5 Passenger and PV5 Wav. Vehicles will start to arrive in the UK from late 2025 and the full range is expected to be available in 2026.
The PV7 is the second van coming to market, which will offer more space and advanced software compared to the PV5.
