Kia's electric van is about to get a big brother: Here's our first look at the PV7 [Images]

Kia’s first electric van has quickly become a fan favorite. With the larger PV7 coming soon, will it have the same impact?

When is Kia launching the PV7 electric van?

After launching the PV5 last year, Kia’s electric van proved to be a bigger hit than most expected. In the first three months of 2026, it accounted for 9% light commercial electric vehicle (eLCV) sales in Europe.

The PV5 is a midsize, fully electric van, and the first from Kia’s Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) lineup. Kia’s PBVs are much more advanced than the vans or any vehicle we are accustomed to.

Kia calls them “total mobility solutions” that use Hyundai Motor Group’s software-to-everything (SDx) and advanced batteries, powertrain, and other EV components.
