Kia PV5: the very first look
According to Kia, the PV5’s contemporary design transcends traditional light commercial vehicles, featuring a fresh aesthetic that emphasises flexibility and customisation through a modular approach. “While the PV5 is offered in three different body styles to provide innovative solutions for a diverse range of customer needs, they all embody the same consistent design values inspired by Kia’s design philosophy, ‘Opposites United’,” said Karim Habib, Head of Kia Global Design. “Each model confidently expresses a solid, bold, futuristic character and a highly capable attitude.”
As for the cargo version, the PV5 Cargo shares the same geometric design as the PV5 Passenger. It features a boxier profile that reflects its enhanced space efficiency. A key difference lies in the Cargo’s twin side-opening tailgate doors, which provide practicality and easy access for loading and unloading, allowing users to customise their experience to meet their specific needs. Finally, the rear design complements the sleek side lines, providing a solid and modern look. This approach boosts load capacity and creates a more spacious, open feel, according to the manufacturer.
