Pricing and specifications have been confirmed by Kia UK for the MY27 PV5 Cargo L2/H2, a high-roof version of the all-electric van that completes the planned UK PV5 Cargo line-up alongside the L1/H1 and L2/H1 variants. It is offered in ‘Essential’, ‘Plus’ and ‘Plus Walk Through’ grades.
PV5 Cargo L2/H2 dimensions and load space
The van is 4,695mm long, 1,895mm wide excluding mirrors and 2,200mm high, on a 2,995mm wheelbase. Inside, the cargo area offers 1,815mm of height, up to 2,255mm of floor length and 1,330mm between the wheelarches, while the turning-circle radius stays at 5.5 metres.
Rear doors open up to 1,343mm wide and the standard nearside sliding door gives a 775mm opening. Three-door versions carry up to 630kg and four-door versions up to 600kg, both including a 75kg driver allowance. Every variant can tow 1,500kg braked and take a 100kg roof load, and the taller body adds storage above the front seats.
Battery, motor and charging
Built on the E-GMP.S platform, the PV5 Cargo L2/H2 uses only the 71.2kWh Long Range battery, paired with a 120kW front motor producing 250Nm. It reaches 84mph, covers 0-to-62mph in 12.4 seconds and achieves up to 239 miles on the WLTP combined cycle.
A 150kW DC charger takes the battery from 10 to 80% in under 30 minutes. On AC, a full charge from 10% takes about six hours and 30 minutes at 11kW, or up to 10 hours at 7kW.
Kia PV5 grades and equipment
Standard kit includes a 12.9-inch touchscreen, a 7.5-inch driver display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera and Highway Driving Assist. The ‘Plus’ grade adds heated seats and steering wheel, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist and Vehicle-to-Load with a UK three-pin socket in the cargo area.
Offered only as a three-door, the ‘Plus Walk Through’ swaps the bulkhead for a composite version with a sliding door and a fold-and-dive passenger seat, letting the driver reach the load area without getting out.
Price and options in the UK
UK prices start at £32 355 (+VAT) for the ‘Essential’, with the ‘Plus’ at £33 355 (+VAT) and the ‘Plus Walk Through’ at £34 425 (+VAT). Including the £5 000 Government Zero Emission Van Grant, on-the-road prices are £35 016, £36 216 and £37 500. A four-door option costs £355 (+VAT), a heat pump on ‘Plus’ grades £650 (+VAT) and premium paint £625 (+VAT).
