Orders are open for Kia’s first fully electric passenger PBV, the PV5 Passenger, available from GWR Kia PBV Centre
The Kia PV5 Passenger will be offered exclusively in L2/H1 form, with a choice of two battery options and two generously equipped trim grades, ‘Essential’ and ‘Plus’.
Entry-grade ‘Essential’ variants of the PV5 Passenger are offered with the option of either Standard Range or Long Range battery, while the higher spec 'Plus’ grade is available exclusively with the Long Range battery.
The high-grade ‘Plus’ variant adds several key features over and above the ‘Essential’ grade, including 16-inch alloy wheels; heated front seats and steering wheel; powered tailgate; Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability with adapter and more. Additionally, PV5 Passenger ‘Plus’ grade can be optionally equipped with a Heat Pump to enhance vehicle efficiency, particularly in cooler months, for £780.
The PV5 Passenger features a White Pearl colourway as standard, with seven other premium colours to choose from: Midnight Black, Cityscape Green, Steel Grey, Runway Red, Mint Green, Lakehouse Grey and Frost Blue. These are available for an additional £750.
The Standard Range battery pack option is powered by a single electric motor driving the front wheels and outputting 89.4kW. The Long Range battery pack is also front-motor, front wheel drive only, with an output of 120kW.
The PV5 Passenger, when equipped with the Standard Range 51.5kWh battery pack, is capable of travelling up to 183 miles* on a single charge, while the larger, Long Range 71.2kWh battery pack offers a range of up to 256 miles* on a single charge.
All PV5 Passenger variants also offer fast charging capability, meaning when connected to a 150kW charging point the PV5’s battery (both Standard Range and Long Range) can be topped up from 10-to-80% in less than 30 minutes.
Thanks to its E-GMP.S fully electric platform, the PV5 offers a completely flat floor for maximum passenger leg room, while the PV5’s boxy dimensions allow for highly competitive amounts of head- and shoulder-room for all passengers. For added passenger convenience, the sliding side doors open to 775mm and feature a low side-step height in the second row of 402mm.
Even with space-for-five, the PV5 Passenger offers a cavernous amount of cargo space. With all five seats upright, the PV5 Passenger offers a rear luggage capacity of 1,320-litres, extending to 2,315 litres with the second row folded.
