Kia Reveals PV7 Electric Van With 11 Seats, 460km Range
Kia has shown a new electric van called the PV7.
It is the company’s second dedicated electric van after the PV5.
One version can carry up to 11 people in the Korean market.
Kia says it can travel up to 460 kilometers under the WLTP test system.
The van is 5.35 meters long.
That makes it bigger than Kia’s Carnival.
Its size is similar to a long-wheelbase Mercedes-Benz V-Class.
Kia’s PV7 shows how electric vans are becoming large enough to work like minibuses and people carriers.
An India launch does not currently seem likely.
