Kia UK has announced pricing and specifications for the new PV5 Cargo L2/H2, offering a high-roof model for added cargo capacity.
The PV5 Cargo L2/H2 comes with a 5.2 m³ cargo area and a maximum payload of 630 kg with a braked towing capacity of up to 1,500 kg. At 2,200 mm tall, the internal cargo-area height is 1,815 mm, which is good for bulkier loads.
Despite the overall footprint, the PV5 has a 5.5 metre turning-circle radius adding great manoeuvrability in tight spaces.
Battery, Range and Charging
The Kia PV5 Cargo L2/H2 comes with a 71.2kWh battery offering a combined driving range of up to 239 miles on the WLTP test cycle.
The battery can be charged from 10% - 80% in under 30 minutes at a 150kW DC rapid charger. On an AC supply, the PV5 is rated at 11 kW (for three phase supplies) and can complete a 10% - 100% charge six hours and 30 minutes, or 10 hours from a 7kW AC domestic, or public AC charger.
Power
There’s a 120kW (163 hp) front-mounted electric motor that produces 250Nm of torque. Power is delivered through a single-speed automatic transmission, with a limited top speed of 84mph.
Acceleration is brisk with the 0-to-62mph run done in a useful 12.4 seconds.
Trims
There are two trims available, but both offer generous equipment levels as standard.
All PV5 variants include a 12.9-inch touchscreen navigation system and a 7.5-inch driver display. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, Bluetooth connectivity, two USB-C charging ports, over-the-air updates and seven years of Kia Connect services are each included as standard.
Essential
Essential includes Automatic LED headlights, Daytime Running Lights (DRL), rear lights and rear fog lights, rain-sensing wipers, electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors, automatic air conditioning, 100W USB-C charging port, front and rear parking sensors, reversing camera system, Highway Driving Assist with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 1.5, Lane Following Assist 2 and Lane Keep Assist, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, Regenerative-braking paddle shifters, Smart Key and Walk Away Locking and an Alarm and immobiliser.
Plus
Step up to Plus and *Plus Walk-Through and it adds Electrically folding door mirrors, LED indicators in DRL, Heated Seats and Heated Steering Wheel (only heated outer seats on three-seat variant), Blind, Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Collision Avoidance, Safe Exit Warning, Wireless mobile phone charger and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability: including a UK three-pin power socket in the cargo area and an external adapter that plugs into the charge port.
*Plus Walk-Through
Only available in three-door form, the PV5 Cargo L2/H2 ‘Plus Walk Through’ replaces the conventional passenger-seat and bulkhead arrangement with a ‘Fold and Dive Passenger Seat’ and a composite bulkhead featuring an integrated sliding door.
This configuration enables the driver to move directly between the cabin and cargo areas without leaving the vehicle, supporting delivery and service operations where frequent access to the load compartment is required.
The ‘Plus Walk Through’ retains the wider comfort, connectivity and safety specification of the ‘Plus’ grade.
Prices
All PV5 Cargo’s receive the full ZEVG grant of £5,000. UK prices start from £32,355 (+VAT) for the three-door ‘Essential’ model. All trims and variants with their respective prices are shown below.
LR = Long Range; ZEVG = Zero Emission Van Grant
A four-door option is available for £355 (+VAT) on each of the available grades, except ‘Plus Walk Through’, which is only sold in three-door format.
Clear White is the standard exterior colour, with Midnight Black, Cityscape Green and Steel Grey available as premium finishes priced at £625 (+VAT). All models feature a Dark Blue interior.
The model builds on and completes the planned UK Kia PV5 Cargo lineup, which includes L1/H1, L2/H1 and now L2/H2 variants.
