HANOVER, Germany — Kia (000270.KS) unveiled its large electric purpose-built vehicle, the Kia PV7, for the first time on the 14th local time at IAA Transportation 2026, the world's largest commercial vehicle show, held in Hanover, Germany. It is Kia's second dedicated electric PBV following the PV5, which launched last year. With the PV5 performing well in Europe, Kia chose the region for the PV7's debut to strengthen its lead in the local electrified mobility market.
The PV7 is larger than the compact PV5, measuring 5,350 millimeters long, 1,995 millimeters wide and 1,990 millimeters tall, with a wheelbase of 3,500 millimeters. That gives it a spacious interior. It is 95 millimeters longer than Hyundai Motor's large recreational vehicle, the Staria, with a wheelbase 225 millimeters longer.
Kia will first launch the PV7 Cargo Long and the PV7 Passenger Long in Korea and Europe in the second half of next year. The PV7 Cargo, aimed at logistics, delivery and service businesses, can carry 1,165 kilograms. The PV7 Passenger, designed to move people, will come in seven-, nine- and 11-seat configurations. Kia plans to roll out 23 PV7 derivative and conversion models in global markets afterward. Kia's PBV series uses a flexible body system that allows body size and interior layout to be reconfigured into a range of models for different purposes.

Kia also sharply improved performance and charging convenience. The vehicle carries high-voltage nickel-cobalt-manganese batteries in 71.5-kilowatt-hour and 96.2-kilowatt-hour capacities. A single charge delivers a range of more than 460 kilometers under Europe's WLTP standard. The PV7 supports ultra-fast charging of up to 350 kilowatts, taking about the middle of the 20-minute range to charge the battery from 10% to 80%. In a first for the brand, it has two charging ports — a fast and slow charging port at the front and a slow charging port at the rear side.
The powertrain comes standard with a front-wheel-drive motor producing 200 kilowatts of maximum output and 420 newton-meters of peak torque. Kia plans to add an all-wheel-drive model for rough-road driving. On software, the PV7 carries Hyundai Motor Group's latest systems, including the next-generation infotainment system Pleos Connect and the generative artificial intelligence agent Gleo AI. Over-the-air software updates are supported. Advanced driver assistance features such as navigation-based smart cruise control and remote smart parking assist are also applied.
"The PV7 presents the next step in our journey toward personalized mobility," Kia President Song Ho-sung said. "We will provide comprehensive business solutions based on a vehicle that can respond flexibly to customers' diverse businesses and best-in-class electric vehicle performance."
