Kia unveiles all new electric van range
Mon, 16 Sept 2024
Kia has unveiled a range of new electric vans that are due to go on sale in the UK in late 2025.
The Korean brand claims it is disrupting the light commercial vehicle with its distinctive purpose-built electric vehicles, which will arrive in Europe in the summer of 2025, followed by a UK debut towards the end of that year.
Along with key partnerships for fleet management and approved conversions, Kia says its PBV van concept will be backed by a seven-year/100,000-mile warranty, as with its passenger cars.
The brand say that the vans will have best-in-class dimensions and loading capacities, as well as over-the-air software updates.
Four models were on show at Hannover - The PV5 panel van concept, PV5 People Mover concept, PV5 High Roof concept and larger PV7 concept.
The battery and motor architecture in the PBVs uses the same technology as the Kia EV5 and EV6 passenger cars, so will offer well-proven reliability and an impressive electric range by the time the new models make their debut in 2025.
