Customer orders have opened for Kia's all-electric PV5.

The new model will offer up to 416km range and is due here in Ireland in November.

The PV5 is the first of a series of van-based models as part of the company’s Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) global strategy.

Two trim levels are offered with the K2 model spec including twin side-opening doors, heated seats, front and rear parking sensors, tower wiring priced from €33,230 (including SEAI grants but excluding VAT). 

K4 models have a 360deg Surround View Monitor, Blind-spot monitors, and electric folding mirrors, and are priced from €35,100. The PV5 passenger only comes in the K4 trim with full vegan leather seats, electric tailgate and heated rear seats for a retail price of €42,550 (includes grants and VRT rebates).

Customers can now place orders for the PV5 Passenger and Cargo variants from any of Kia's nine dedicated PBV centres throughout Ireland.

There will be three different battery sizes available for the PV5. The smallest of these is a 43.3kWh LFP unit that will exclusively be used in the PV5 Cargo, targeting light duty and last-mile delivery operators.

All other versions, including the PV5 Cargo, will be available with the choice of 51.5kWh or 71.2kWh NCM battery packs. Depending on specifications, driving ranges will be up to 400 kilometres.

All versions will feature a 71.2 kWh battery and 120 kW electric motor as standard.

The all-electric PV5 is manufactured at Kia's EVO production facility in South Korea.
