Kia PV5 Cargo first drive: make mine a modular
Ever wondered what an electric van like a giant Oxford Block set drives like? My first spin in Kia NZ’s first commercial EV, the PV5 Cargo, impressed. Built on the service-focused E-GMP.S platform, it’s modular and customisable. With a 71.2kWh battery (416km range), 4.42m³ load space, 765kg payload, and a low 419mm step-in, it’s practical. The car-like cabin has a 12.9-inch Android infotainment; a second sliding door costs $500. Targeting couriers, tradespeople, and sustainable fleets—would you pick it for your small business?
