Kia unveils teaser for large electric PV7 commercial van
Kia has released teaser images and videos for the PV7, the second model in its Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) lineup. Built on the dedicated E-GMP. S electric platform, the PV7 is a large-scale electric van designed to expand Kia’s commercial vehicle offerings beyond the smaller PV5.
The PV7 aims to serve diverse business and lifestyle needs, providing flexible space for cargo, passenger transport, or specialized professional roles. Teasers highlight a robust one-box silhouette with a high roofline and distinctive black accents on the hood and pillars. While specific technical details regarding battery capacity, range, and payload remain undisclosed, the model is expected to compete in the large light commercial vehicle segment against rivals like the Ford E-Transit and Renault Master.
Kia will officially unveil the PV7 at the IAA Transportation 2026 exhibition in Hannover, Germany, scheduled from September 14 to 20. The event will also showcase various derivatives of the PV5 to demonstrate the modularity and scalability of the PBV strategy.
