Kia’s PV7 Electric Van Tested After Preview, Outshines PV5

Kia’s larger electric van, the PV7, was spotted in a test drive just days after the company first previewed the model. The sighting highlights the PV7’s greater size and capacity compared with the smaller PV5, which now appears comparatively modest. The test indicates that Kia is advancing the PV7 toward a production timeline, suggesting the automaker’s intent to expand its commercial EV lineup. The move comes as demand for electric vans grows among businesses seeking higher payload and lower operating costs.
