They do this well at Kia, which simply launches five brutal trucks at the same time. They are also revolutionary and are going into production.
Who would have thought in 2024: Kia is a brand that continues to surprise. No, we are not talking about a young and dynamic company with young people for young people who lead a special lifestyle. That is of course pure marketing nonsense. If we just look at the products, they are doing great.
It is of excellent quality and looks quite nice these days, without costing the world. Good for each other. Now that Kia has completed its passenger car range, it is moving on to commercial vehicles.
5 new commercial vehicles from Kia
Nowadays, many car manufacturers work together in the field of commercial vehicles. This ensures that there is a huge overlap, especially at Stellantis, which also collaborates with Stellantis. Kia is not a brand you associate with vans. Yes, you once had the Kia Pregio, of which you also had an RS version. Unfortunately, RS stood for 'even barer than the LS'. But now Kia therefore has a complete range, the 'PV' series.
Despite unveiling five models, it's actually three: the PV1, PV5 and PV7. Kia is showing 3 versions of the PV5, so five new models on your breakfast plate today!
They are all on the new PBV platform (Platform Beyond Vehicle). You can see that platform as a kind of skateboard with a cabin, on which you can place all kinds of different bodies. So far nothing new under the sun.
Revolutionary
The revolutionary thing is that you can change the structure once the car has been delivered. The structure is secured by powerful magnets. So that could be a loading cabin, a pickup truck bed or a passenger compartment.
In addition to the PV5, there is also a PV1 and PV7. The PV1 is a tiny car with a particularly small turning circle. This car is interesting on large industrial estates and long distances in urban environments.
The Kia PV7 is a huge device that seems to have to compete with cars such as the Volkswagen Crafter. Just like the smaller models, we have to give a hat tip to the designers. Considering that functionality comes first, there is only a limited amount of room for creativity. All buses look alike. In this case, a recognizable Kia front has actually been added.
2025
Of course, we will have to wait and see what the actual production models will look like. During the translation from concept to production, some originality is sometimes lost, so to speak.
There are also production plans! Of course! The Kia PV5 will go into production in 2025. Kia is currently building a production facility where approximately 150,000 units will roll off the production line every year. We can't wait for the reading folder to be delivered in such a cool Kia EV1.
