Kia Corporation unveiled the latest addition to its PBV lineup, the PV7, at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover, Germany.
The PV7 will launch in Europe in 2027, with additional derivatives and markets to follow. Kia plans to expand the PV7 lineup to 23 variants following its 2027 launch, with the PV9 set to follow in 2029.
Ho Sung Song, President and CEO at Kia, said: “The PV7 marks the next step in our journey toward personalised mobility, building on the foundation established by the PV5.
“By bringing together hardware developed for specific applications, business-tailored software and dedicated PBV services, the PV7 goes beyond the vehicle itself to deliver a complete business solution that helps customers achieve greater productivity, flexibility and long-term value.”
The PV7 is offered with a choice of 71.5kWh and 96.2kWh nickel cobalt manganese (NCM) battery packs. The Long Range Cargo variant offers over 460km of all-electric range (AER) under the WLTP cycle.
The PV7’s 800V architecture enables 10-to-80% charging in the mid-20-minute range using a 350kW DC fast charger.
Designed as a versatile, business-tailored vehicle, the PV7 is based on Kia’s ‘Tool Box’ concept, which focuses on creating vehicles optimised for specific customer requirements.
Its larger dimensions and broader application potential enable Kia to serve a wider range of customer needs, from fleet, logistics and shuttle operations to small- and medium-sized businesses and personal mobility.
Kia’s PV7 strategy is built around three business-focused pillars: hardware, software and service.
The PV7 exterior is enhanced by a bold colour palette, including newly developed Fjord Blue, Solid Moonrock Gray and Lush Green.
