Kia PV5 Crew van confirmed

If you were at the 2025 Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham you’d have caught a sneak peak of the Kia PV5 Crew – alongside the PV5 Cargo and PV5 Passenger – on Kia’s massive stand… although that was an early pre-production model. Well, the crew version of 2025’s International Van of the Year has now been confirmed and we have details to share.
In a nutshell, the Kia PV5 Crew features a lever system that switches the vehicle’s internal seating layout between two- and five-seat crew configurations. This has the knock-on effect of changing the cargo volume from 2.4 cubic metres when the second row of seats is deployed or 3.7 cubic metres if it’s stowed. A crew variant is not unexpected news, it’s a completely logical next addition to the PV5 range and we’re looking forward to seeing the conversion in the flesh. Anyway, here are some more details to quench your PV5 Crew thirst.

What does the Kia PV5 Crew provide drivers?

The Kia PV5 Cargo features a one-touch seat lever system that allows the driver to easily switch the van from a two-seat cargo-only configuration to a five-seat layout. Judging from the concept picture we were sent, the rear seating compartment will feature glazed rear windows. Although this is yet to be confirmed.

What is the Kia PV5 Crew cargo space like?

The Kia PV5 Crew uses the PV5 Cargo L2/H1 van as its conversion vehicle. This vehicle provides a flexible cargo volume that expands from 2.4 cubic metres to 3.7 cubic metres, depending on whether the seats are deployed or stowed. The maximum payload capacity sits around the 625 kg mark.

What is the maximum range of the Kia PV5 Crew?

The Kia PV5 Crew uses a 51.5kWh battery to provide up to 175 miles of electric range (although this is yet to be officially confirmed).

When will the Kia PV5 Crew be available?

Production of the Kia PV5 Crew begins at the end of April 2026 and we’ll let you know when it’s scheduled to hit the market.
