Dubai, United Arab Emirates, September 2, 2026: Kia Corporation (Kia) today unveiled teaser images and video of the Kia PV7, the brand’s second dedicated, all-electric Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) model, ahead of its global debut at IAA Transportation in September.
Expanding Kia’s PBV lineup into the light commercial vehicle (LCV) segment, the PV7 delivers increased space and capability beyond the PV5, meeting the evolving needs of business customers across a broader range of commercial and lifestyle use cases.
The teaser images place the PV7 in a range of everyday settings, showcasing its adaptability across different lifestyles and work scenarios. Its one-box profile combines balanced proportions with a robust, confident stance, while the black hood and pillar garnish create a sharp contrast with the body color. Together with Kia’s signature front and rear lamp graphics, these elements reinforce the distinctive design identity of Kia PBVs.
Building on Kia’s extensive EV expertise, the PV7 is built on the dedicated E-GMP.S platform and follows the introduction of the PV5 as the brand’s second dedicated PBV model. As a key pillar of its PBV strategy, the PV7 and its future derivatives will further expand the PBV lineup and broaden Kia’s business mobility offering.
The Kia PV7 will make its global debut at IAA Transportation in Hannover, Germany, September 14, 2026. Recognized as the world’s leading commercial vehicle exhibition, the event will also see Kia showcase a range of PV5 derivatives, highlighting the scalability of the brand’s PBV strategy and its continued expansion across multiple customer applications.
