The Kia PV5, the brand’s first all-electric platform beyond vehicle (PBV), is achieving one of the most extensive global award records for a first-generation model — demonstrating that Kia PBV has secured meaningful competitiveness in the traditional light commercial vehicle (LCV) segment from its very first year on the market.
Since its global debut, the PV5 has swept major international awards across safety, performance, design, family usability and real-world capability. This cross-category recognition not only validates the PV5’s product excellence but also confirms that Kia’s PBV strategy—rooted in customer insight, practical usability and decades of commercial-vehicle experience from the Bongo lineage—is resonating strongly with the global market.
