About PV5

PV5 is Kia’s first production Platform Beyond Vehicle family, built on a dedicated electric architecture for passenger, cargo, crew and accessibility configurations. A low floor, modular body and five- or seven-seat layouts support commercial fleets, family transport and wheelchair-accessible conversions.

The vehicle includes Android-based infotainment, over-the-air updates, driver-assistance systems and fleet-management integrations. Cargo models extend the platform into delivery and business use, while partner programmes are developing remote-driving and mobility services around production PV5 vehicles.
