Kia PV5 Claims 'One To Watch' Award
Kia’s first foray into the electric commercial vehicle sector has been named as the ‘One to Watch’ Award winner at the What Van? Awards 2025.
Kia is due to launch its first electric van in the UK next year, based on the PV5 concept vehicle that was revealed earlier this year in Las Vegas.
The production design reveal of the vehicle has yet to take place but it is expected to be suitable for a wide range of uses, including a passenger-based variant.
“Kia’s entrance in the van industry is a ground-breaking moment for our brand and comes at a time of significant industry change,: Simon Hetherington, Kia UK Commercial Director, said.
“We’re confident with our starting place: 100% electric with a dedicated EV platform and the unique benefit of being able to tailor our commercial vehicle business to modern challenges.
“We gratefully accept What Van?’s ‘One to watch’ award and we are all very proud of this recognition.”
