For businesses that live or die by load space, the Kia PV5 cargo van delivers a compelling blend of size, practicality and electric-era design. Built from the ground up as an electric light commercial vehicle, the PV5 doesn’t just look modern – its dimensions reflect thoughtful engineering intended to maximise usable volume and make everyday work easier.

Exterior Footprint (L2/H1 Cargo)

The PV5 sits squarely in the medium-van segment, offering a footprint that’s urban-friendly yet capable of serious payloads. Its relatively compact exterior helps with manoeuvring on busy High Streets and in tight loading areas, while still providing cargo capacity that competes with traditional diesel rivals.

• Length: 4,695 mm

• Width: approx. 1,895 mm (body width)

• Height: approx. 1,923 mm (roof height)

• Wheelbase: 2,995 mm (approx.)
  These figures position the PV5 as a compact yet practical medium van, easy to manoeuvre in urban areas while offering competitive internal space.

These proportions yield a practical balance between city accessible size and generous load area, making the PV5 a versatile choice for a range of trades and delivery operations.

Load Area and Practical Space

Where the PV5 really shines is inside the load bay. With its flat floor and near-vertical walls, the van’s cargo box is designed to make every millimetre count.

Cargo Area Dimensions

• Load length: 2,255 mm

• Load width: 1,565 mm (maximum internal width)

• Load height: 1,520 mm — a generous internal height that maximises usable volume.

• Cargo volume: around 4.42 cubic metres in the standard configuration.
  These load dimensions make the PV5 suitable for typical commercial tasks, with space for two Euro pallets and plenty of room for racking or shelving. Vans Direct+1

Practical Load Features

• Low step-in height: approximately 419 mm, which helps reduce physical strain when frequently loading and unloading.

• Wide load bay: flat floor with near-vertical walls, designed to minimise wasted space and make customisation (racking, tie-downs, partitions) simpler.
  These details improve real-world usability for tradespeople and delivery fleets alike. Kia

Payload & Performance Notes

• Max payload: up to around 790 kg (standard range battery) — enough to cover most light commercial duties.

• Zero-emissions drivetrain means unrestricted access to Clean Air Zones and quieter operation in town centres.
