Kia announces pricing for PV5 high-roof and chassis variants

Kia is expanding its all-electric PV5 commercial vehicle line-up with the introduction of a high-roof Cargo model and a Chassis variant offering Dropside and Tipper conversions - shaking up the options for commercial fleets looking to switch to EV.

The new PV5 Cargo L2/H2 adds greater load capacity to the range, offering 5.2m³ of cargo space, a payload of up to 630kg and braked towing capacity of 1,500kg. Its 1,815mm internal load height is designed to accommodate taller items while retaining a compact footprint and 5.5-metre turning circle.

Powered by a 71.2kWh Long Range battery, the high-roof model offers up to 239-miles of range (WLTP) and can charge from 10-80% in less than 30-minutes using a 150kW DC charger. Prices start at £32,355 (+VAT), and is available in Essential, Plus and Plus Walk Through trim levels.

Meanwhile, the PV5 Chassis provides a conversion-ready platform with a payload of up to 885kg before bodywork is fitted. It also uses the 71.2kWh battery and charging times remain similar to the high-roof. Kia quotes potential range of up to 258-miles, although this is based on the PV5 Cargo L2/H1 model and will vary depending on the conversion fitted.

Kia-approved conversion partner, TGS Automotive will offer Dropside and Tipper versions, priced from £36,600 and £37,600 (+VAT) respectively. Their payloads are up to 633kg and 561kg respectively.

As for basic pricing, the PV5 Chassis starts at £30,605 (+VAT), with orders now open and first deliveries expected in the first quarter of 2027. Both new PV5 models are also expected to qualify for the £5,000 Government Zero Emission Van Grant.
