Two new additions to Kia's PV5 electric van range, the Chassis and the high-roof Cargo L2/H2, are expected to be available from £25,605 and £27,355 respectively - once they qualify for the UK's Zero Emission Van Grant (ZEVG). Both models are now available to order, with first deliveries of the Chassis expected in Q1 2027.
The PV5 Chassis is being offered exclusively with Kia’s 71.2 kWh Long Range battery and Plus specification, and is sold as an incomplete vehicle designed to accommodate specialist body conversions. Its base price is £30,605 excluding VAT. Kia-approved partner TGS Automotive is offering Dropside and Tipper versions from £36,600 and £37,600 respectively, again before VAT.
Unbodied, the Chassis has a payload of up to 885 kg and a gross vehicle weight of 2,650 kg. It’s powered by a 120 kW electric motor driving the front wheels, and supports DC rapid charging at up to 150 kW. Kia quotes charging from 10 to 80 per cent in under 30 minutes, and gives a range of up to 258 miles as an illustrative figure based on the PV5 Cargo L2/H1 with the same battery; the actual range will depend on the completed conversion, equipment, and load. Where pricing is concerned, Kia states that the vehicle is expected to qualify for the full £5,000 ZEVG once completed with a body. This would bring the starting price down to £25,605 ex-VAT.
2 cubic metres of load space. 2 kWh battery and 120 kW motor and features a stated WLTP range of up to 239 miles.
