Kia PV5 Passenger
Kia PV5 Passenger Essential 51.5kWh 5-Seat
The Kia PV5 Passenger Essential 51.5kWh 5-Seat is among the more affordable MPVs available to buy. It won’t go as far between charges as most rivals, around 163 miles on the motorway.
What owners say: Attractive, distinctive styling looks better in person and stands apart from rivals such as the VW Buzz. Limited range is inadequate for long-distance journeys without frequent stops or for full-load business use.

PositiveOwners Love
- Attractive, distinctive styling looks better in person and stands apart from rivals such as the VW Buzz
- Excellent value combines competitive pricing with well-equipped base models starting at around £33k
- A roomy cabin suits camping conversions, day van use and carrying cargo
Watch Out For
