Kia is stepping firmly into the electric commercial space, confirming sharp pricing for its all-new PV5 Cargo. Fresh off being crowned the 2026 International Van of the Year (IVOTY), the fully electric Kia PV5 Cargo will land in Australian dealerships from late May with a starting price of $55,990 (before on-road costs).
Pricing details
| Model | Pricing (before on-roads) |
| PV5 Cargo S 4DR Long Range | $55,990 |
Built for business, powered by the future
The Kia PV5 Cargo is the first model from the brand’s new Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) lineup to launch locally, riding on the brand’s next-generation E-GMP.S electric architecture. It is designed specifically for light commercial use and delivers a practical, no-nonsense electric package tailored for modern delivery and trade needs.
Australian models will be offered exclusively in Long Range form, featuring a 71.2kWh battery, 416km driving range (WLTP), single-motor and front-wheel drive setup.
Tuned for Australian conditions
Kia hasn’t just engineered the PV5 globally, but fine-tuned it locally too. The van has undergone the brand’s Australian Ride & Handling Program, ensuring it’s capable of smooth urban driving for delivery routes and feels comfortable and in control on rough regional roads. That dual focus aims to make the PV5 just as capable in the city as it is out in the country.

What’s next
The Kia PV5 Cargo will make a public appearance at the Melbourne Motor Show from April 10 to 12 before it hits the road. It will give buyers an early look at Kia’s new electric work van. More detailed specifications are set to be announced soon.
The PV5 Cargo is shaping up to be a serious contender in Australia’s commercial EV space, with strong pricing, award-winning credentials, and purpose-built EV architecture.
