Why Lease the Kia PV5 Cargo?
The Kia PV5 Cargo is one of the most significant electric vans entering the UK fleet market. Built as a Purpose Built Vehicle (PBV) and not a converted diesel, it delivers better efficiency, more usable load space and lower running costs.
With up to 258 miles WLTP range (Long Range model) and a business lease available from just £166.00 per month + VAT, the PV5 is an ideal option for delivery fleets, tradespeople and businesses switching to electric.
Earlier this year, the PV5 made history by achieving a Guinness World Record — travelling 430.84 miles on a single charge, proving that electric vans can now handle real-world routes without range anxiety.
