Kia has revealed its newest Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) models, the PV5 Passenger and PV5 Cargo. These models are designed to redefine the concepts of space and mobility by leveraging Kia’s EV technology and providing flexibility and customization through innovative modularity. The PV5 Passenger features a refined geometric profile with excellent visibility, while the PV5 Cargo has a boxier profile that reflects its enhanced space efficiency. Both models will offer several configurations to meet a wide range of usage needs, with specialized conversion options set to be unveiled at the 2025 Kia EV Day event in Tarragona, Spain.
The PV5 Passenger showcases bold signature lighting, sleek black accents on the main headlight units, and robust black geometric wheel arch claddings and rocker panels that suggest an off-road character. The rear design of the PV5 Passenger highlights its robust and modern character with a single lift-up tailgate door and a strong bumper that creates a horizontal stance. On the other hand, the PV5 Cargo features twin side-opening tailgate doors for optimal practicality and easy access for loading and unloading. The clean, modern aesthetics of the PV5 Cargo elevate its design over traditional light commercial vehicles, providing a spacious and open feel.
The full PV5 product range and Kia’s strategic plans for its PBV business will be showcased on February 24, with vehicle interiors and full product offerings set to be revealed on February 27. The 2025 Kia EV Day event video will be available on the Kia Worldwide YouTube channel in March.
