HANOVER — Kia unveiled its large electrified purpose-built vehicle, The Kia PV7, on the 14th at IAA Transportation 2026, the world's largest commercial vehicle show, held in Hanover, Germany. It is Kia's second dedicated electrified PBV, following the PV5 launched last year.
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, giving 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 PV7 Passenger Long in Korea and Europe in the second half of 2027. The PV7 Cargo, aimed at logistics, delivery and service businesses, can carry 1,165 kilograms. The PV7 Passenger, designed to transport people, will come in seven-, nine- and 11-seat versions. Kia plans to roll out 23 PV7 derivative and conversion models in global markets thereafter. Kia's PBV series uses a flexible body system that allows the vehicle size and interior layout to be reconfigured into a range of models for different purposes.

The vehicle is equipped with high-voltage nickel-cobalt-manganese batteries in 71.5 kilowatt-hour and 96.2 kWh 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, allowing the battery to charge from 10% to 80% in about the middle of the 20-minute range. For the first time for the brand, it has two charging ports — a front port for both fast and slow charging and a rear-side port for slow charging.
Kia also fitted the PV7 with a front motor producing maximum output of 200 kilowatts and maximum torque of 420 newton-meters. An all-wheel-drive model will follow to handle a wider range of driving conditions. On software, the vehicle 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 included.
"The PV7 is a model that presents the next step in the journey toward personalized mobility," Kia President Song Ho-sung said. "We will provide comprehensive business solutions based on a vehicle that can flexibly respond to customers' diverse businesses and best-in-class electric vehicle performance."
