PV5 Cargo van leasing

The Kia PV5 is the core model in Kia’s new electric van line-up, designed to provide maximum practicality for demanding commercial environments. Available in Cargo, Crew and Chassis-Cab versions, each capable of supporting various custom configurations, the PV5 is built to suit a wide range of industries, from delivery services to on-site trades.

Its design prioritises real-world usability: the compact front nose makes tight urban manoeuvres easier, while the three-piece front bumper reduces repair costs after bumps. A class-leading 419mm rear step height and low, flat floor minimise strain during frequent loading, and the full-swing rear doors, wide side openings and straight interior walls give operators access to every corner of the load area. The PV5’s aerodynamic profile, including a 0.29 drag coefficient (class leading), further enhances efficiency by allowing the van to cut through the air more smoothly, a key advantage for motorway and high-mileage fleet operations.

Equipped with advanced safety systems such as Collision Avoidance, Lane Keeping, Parking Sensors, Reversing Camera, Safe Exit Warning, Highway Driving Assist and Speed Limit Assist, the PV5 helps keep drivers protected in busy working environments. Combined with ultra-fast charging, long-distance capability and Kia’s renowned reliability, it’s an ideal choice for business fleets looking for smarter, cleaner mobility.

Two Powertrains to Choose From

The PV5 offers two planned battery sizes, 51.5kWh, and 71.2kWh, giving businesses the flexibility to choose the powertrain that best suits their daily requirements.

• Mid-size battery balances range with affordability for mixed driving.
• Long-range 71.2kWh battery delivers up to 247miles, making it ideal for longer shifts or regional delivery work.

All versions support ultra-fast charging, reaching 10–80% in under 30 minutes, allowing drivers to get back on the road quickly and reduce downtime.

Engine	Battery (kWh)	Power (kW)	Torque (Nm)	Range (m)	10–80% Charge	Standard Charge
Electric	51.5	89.4	250	200	30 mins	4 hrs 45 mins
Electric	71.2	120	250	247	30 mins	6 hrs 30 mins

Cargo Load Volume

The Kia PV5 has been designed to maximise usable cargo space through its wide, flat load floor and straight side walls. Depending on configuration, it offers 4–5.1 cubic metres of load volume and can comfortably accommodate two Euro pallets.

Key load area features include:

• Lowest-in-class 419mm rear step height for easier loading
• Flat, uninterrupted floor for better stacking and storage
• Wide-opening rear and side doors for fast access
• Space-efficient design that opens up every usable corner

Towing Capacity & Payload

The Kia PV5 is designed to handle the practical demands of everyday commercial work. With a payload capacity of up to 790kg, it comfortably supports tools, equipment, parcels, and daily business essentials.

For operations requiring trailer capability, the PV5 offers a 750kg braked towing capacity, giving businesses added flexibility for small trailers, additional cargo, or machinery transport.

This combination of usable payload and reliable towing performance makes the PV5 suitable for a wide range of industries, from last-mile delivery and mobile trades to light construction and service-based fleets.

Being a brand-new model that’s only just arrived on the market, you might expect the PV5 to need a little time before earning industry recognition. However, it hasn’t taken long for experts to notice its potential.

The PV5 has already been named “One to Watch” by What Van? Awards 2025, a notable accolade reserved for vehicles showing exceptional promise. This recognition highlights the PV5’s standout innovation and forward-thinking design, reinforcing its strong potential to reshape the electric van landscape.
