The multi award-winning Kia PV5 Passenger is now available with seven-seats, providing enhanced flexibility for families and shared mobility customers.

Based on Kia’s versatile Platform Beyond Vehicle architecture, the PV5 Passenger 7-Seat comes in addition to the five-seat version already available through the Kia PBV network.

Joining a select band of seven-seat electric vehicles on the market, the PV5 Passenger 7-Seat is a direct rival to the Citroen e-Berlingo and Peugeot E-Rifter, and is aimed at large families, private hire/shuttle services and those with mobility considerations.

Prices for the entry-level PV5 Passenger 7-Seat starts at £36,995*, making it one of the best value seven-seat electric vehicles on the road.

Building on the strengths of the five-seat version of the PV5 Passenger, the 7-Seat model gets the same low step-in height of 399mm for convenient entry, while L2/H1 dimensions allow for class-leading head and legroom.

What sets the PV5 Passenger 7-Seat apart from its rivals is the implementation of a 2+2+3 seating configuration, which helps to maximise interior flexibility and allows for much easier access to the rearmost bench.

With the full complement of seats in place, the PV5 Passenger 7-Seat offers a useful 318-litres of load space, but folding the third-row of seats expands this to a vast 785-litres.

The PV5 Passenger 7-Seat is exclusively available with the Long Range 71.2kwh battery, which is capable of up to 242-miles of range between charges (WLTP). With DC charging of up to 150kW, the PV5 Passenger 7-Seat can be recharged from 10-80% in under 30-minutes using a fast charger.

In addition to the launch of the 7-Seat variant of the PV5 Passenger, Kia has also introduced a new flagship trim level, named Elite.

Sitting above the existing Essential and Plus grades, Elite adds electric sliding doors with a power door latch, ventilated front seats, a surround view monitor, blind spot view monitor, side parking sensors and premium paint.
