Kia announces UK pricing and specifications for PV5 Cargo L2/H2
Kia UK has announced pricing and specifications for the MY27 PV5 Cargo L2/H2, expanding its all-electric PBV offering with a high-roof model designed to provide greater load capacity, flexible access and practical functionality for commercial customers.
The PV5 Cargo L2/H2 combines a 5.2m³ cargo area with a maximum payload of 630kg and a braked towing capacity of up to 1,500kg. Its 2,200mm exterior height accommodates an internal cargo-area height of 1,815mm, helping operators transport taller or bulkier loads while retaining the PV5’s compact overall footprint and 5.5-metre minimum turning-circle radius.
Powered exclusively by Kia’s Long Range 71.2kWh battery, the PV5 Cargo L2/H2 offers a WLTP combined driving range of up to 239 miles. UK prices start from £32,355 (+VAT) for the three-door ‘Essential’ model.
The model builds on and completes the planned UK Kia PV5 Cargo lineup, which includes L1/H1, L2/H1 and now L2/H2 variants.
Designed for larger loads
The PV5 Cargo L2/H2 is 4,695mm long, 1,895mm wide (excluding door mirrors) and 2,200mm high, and features a 2,995mm wheelbase. Its cargo area offers up to2,255mm of floor length, 1,565mm of width above the wheelarches and 1,330mm between the wheelarches. Despite being the largest PV5 Cargo variant, it retains the same high manoeuvrability, featuring a tight 5.5-metre turning radius.
The 5.2m³ load volume is accessed through rear doors with an opening width of up to 1,343mm. The standard-fit nearside manual sliding door provides a 775mm opening, while a low 399mm side boarding height and 419mm rear step height support convenient loading and unloading.
Three-door versions have a maximum payload of 630kg, while four-door versions, equipped with dual sliding side doors, offer a payload of up to 600kg. Both figures include a 75kg allowance for the driver. All variants can tow up to 1,500kg with a braked trailer and support a maximum roof load of 100kg.
Additional storage is also provided in the cabin space above the driver and passenger, thanks to the vehicle's increased height over H1 variants.
Long Range powertrain as standard
Built on Kia’s PBV-dedicated Electric-Global Modular Platform for Service (E-GMP.S) architecture, the PV5 Cargo is engineered to provide high electric efficiency and serve a multitude of job needs.
All PV5 Cargo L2/H2 models are powered by a 71.2kWh Long Range lithium-ion battery and a 120kW front-mounted electric motor producing 250Nm of torque. Power is delivered through a single-speed automatic transmission. The model has a maximum speed of 84mph and can accelerate from 0-to-62mph in 12.4 seconds.
The battery can be charged from 10-to-80% in under 30 minutes using a 150kW DC rapid charger. A 10-to-100% charge takes approximately six hours and 30 minutes using an 11kW AC supply, or up to 10 hours from a 7kW AC connection.
The PV5 Cargo L2/H2 can travel up to 239 miles (WLTP combined cycle).
Like all other PV5 variants, this includes a 12.9-inch touchscreen navigation system sitting alongside a 7.5-inch driver display. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, Bluetooth connectivity, two USB-C charging ports, over-the-air functionality and seven years of Kia Connect services are each included as standard.
The entry-grade ‘Essential’ includes:
A three-seat arrangement, comprising a driver’s seat and two-person passenger bench, is fitted as standard. A two-seat configuration with individual driver and passenger seats is available as a no-cost option.
Three-door models feature a single nearside sliding door, while an additional offside sliding door is available as an option. Four-door models are equipped with two sliding side doors
‘Plus’ and ‘Plus Walk Through’ grades
The PV5 Cargo L2/H2 ‘Plus’ builds on the ‘Essential’ specification and adds:
An optional heat pump is available on all ‘Plus’ grades, including ‘Plus Walk Through’, priced at £650 (+VAT).
‘Plus Walk Through’
Available exclusively 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 and is priced from £34,425 (+VAT).
UK pricing from £32,355 (+VAT)
The PV5 Cargo L2/H2 is available in three- and four-door configurations, with a choice of two or three front seats at no additional cost on ‘Essential’ and ‘Plus’ versions.
All variants will qualify for the Government Zero Emission Van Grant, reducing the on-the-road price by £5,000.
