TMS Kia Leicester Named One of 50 UK Retailers to Launch Kia’s New PBV Franchise

TMS is proud to announce its selection as one of only 50 retailers across the UK to represent the highly anticipated Kia Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) franchise. This exciting new partnership will see TMS offering both sales and aftersales services for Kia’s innovative PBV range at TMS Kia Leicester.

With Kia securing an impressive 5.7% market share and rising to become the UK’s fourth best-selling automotive brand, the timing is ideal for TMS to expand into the commercial vehicle sector. This marks a significant milestone for the business, representing its first venture into the commercial market and further reinforcing a partnership with Kia UK that has spanned over a decade.

The Kia PBV line-up will address the increasing demand for clean, zero-emission transport solutions as the industry transitions away from internal combustion engines and adapts to expanding ultra-low emission zones in urban centres. Kia will launch its first PBV model, the Kia PV5, followed by the larger PV7 in 2027 and PV9 in 2029.

This is a significant moment in the growth journey of TMS and Kia Leicester, bringing Kia's future-facing commercial vehicles to our customers.

Orders are now open for the all-new Kia PV5. Contact our team today to learn more and reserve yours!
