What happens when you live with the new Kia PV5 for a week?
In this real-world review, I find out whether Kia’s radical electric MPV can actually replace a traditional family SUV — and why this van-like EV might be one of the most practical cars you can buy today.
The Kia PV5 is designed to move people, pets, bikes, and everything in between, with huge interior space, clever storage, fast charging, and running costs that could be far lower than a typical 7-seater SUV.
After using it for daily school runs, family duties, and real life tasks, here’s what I discovered about living with Kia’s first dedicated electric people mover.
