The Kia PV5 Passenger: Details & Specifications

Space for people. Flexibility for every journey.

The Kia PV5 Passenger brings all-electric driving to family life, group travel and professional passenger transport. A spacious cabin, wide sliding side doors and a low step-in height make everyday journeys easier, while flexible seating and useful storage help you balance people, luggage and the demands of a busy day.

Choose from three equipment levels: Essential, Plus and Elite. Each is offered with five or seven seats. The five-seat Essential gives you a choice of 51.5kWh Standard Range or 71.2kWh Long Range batteries; five-seat Plus and Elite versions, and all seven-seat versions, use the 71.2kWh Long Range battery.

With up to 256 miles of combined WLTP range on five-seat Long Range versions and DC charging from 10–80% in approximately 30 minutes under suitable conditions, the PV5 Passenger is designed to fit around both everyday travel and longer journeys. Middleton Garage can help you compare the seating layouts, batteries and equipment to find your ideal version.

Three Grades, the Same Focus: Making Every Journey Easier

Essential, Plus and Elite share the PV5 Passenger’s fully electric, front-wheel-drive layout and generous cabin dimensions. All three combine connected technology with everyday comfort and a broad range of driver assistance systems. Moving through the range adds features that make frequent passenger journeys more comfortable and convenient.

Your equipment grade and seating layout are separate choices. Start with how many people you need to carry, then consider the battery range and the comfort, access and parking features that matter most to you.

A published 399mm second-row step-in height helps passengers board comfortably, while the wide rear tailgate provides access for luggage, pushchairs and everyday equipment.

Essential and Plus have manually operated sliding side doors. Elite adds electric operation and a power latch for extra convenience when welcoming passengers or managing a busy family journey. Plus and Elite also include a powered rear tailgate.

Choose the PV5 Passenger That Fits Your Life

The main choices are seating capacity, battery and equipment grade. Think about your usual passenger numbers, how much luggage travels with them and where you will charge. Middleton Garage can help you compare family use, business travel and passenger transport requirements.

Five Seats: Room for People and Their Luggage

The five-seat PV5 Passenger provides a generous luggage area behind the second row, with a published capacity of 1,330 litres. Folding the second-row seats increases the published capacity to 3,615 litres, giving you room to adapt the cabin for larger items when those seats are not needed. The five-seat specification includes 60:40 split-folding rear seats with three-stage recline.

Seven Seats: More Space for Your Group

The seven-seat version adds a third row for larger families and group journeys, with the 71.2kWh Long Range battery fitted across Essential, Plus and Elite. The specification guide lists 1,000mm of third-row legroom, helping make the additional seating useful for regular passenger journeys. Ask our team to demonstrate the seating arrangement and luggage space for your chosen version.

Seating and Luggage Comparison

Specification	Five-seat Passenger	Seven-seat Passenger
Passenger capacity, including driver	Five people across two rows	Seven people across three rows
Equipment grades	Essential, Plus and Elite	Essential, Plus and Elite
Battery choice	51.5kWh on Essential; 71.2kWh across all three grades	71.2kWh across all three grades
Published luggage capacity	1,330 litres behind the second row	318 litres; see note below
Published expanded luggage capacity	3,615 litres with the second row folded	785 litres; folded-seat arrangement to be confirmed
Typical use	Everyday family travel, luggage-heavy journeys and business travel	Larger families, group journeys and passenger transport

Seven-seat luggage figures are reproduced from the supplied preliminary guide. Its seat-row labels are inconsistent with a three-row layout, so confirm the seating positions used to measure the 318-litre and 785-litre capacities with Middleton Garage. Luggage volumes use the manufacturer’s measurement method; space available depends on seat position and what you carry.

Passenger Space and Practical Dimensions

Both seating versions use the published L2/H1 Passenger dimensions, combining a 4,695mm overall length with a 2,995mm wheelbase. Generous headroom and legroom help make the cabin comfortable, while the low side step and sliding doors support frequent boarding and drop-offs.

Body and Cabin Dimensions

Dimension	Five-seat Passenger	Seven-seat Passenger
Overall length	4,695mm	4,695mm
Overall width, excluding mirrors	1,895mm	1,895mm
Width with mirrors folded	2,100mm	2,100mm

Shoulder room, first / second / third row	1,732 / 1,617mm / not applicable	1,732 / 1,617 / 1,590mm

Dimensions follow the supplied June 2026 guide and are subject to final specification. Check the exact vehicle, antenna and fitted accessories before relying on clearance for a height-restricted car park or garage. The 2,100mm figure is with the mirrors folded, not unfolded.

Vehicle Weights and Towing

Towing capacity varies significantly with the battery and seating version. Five-seat Long Range models have a published maximum braked trailer weight of 1,500kg, while the five-seat Standard Range and seven-seat Essential and Plus versions are listed at 750kg. The supplied guide states that the seven-seat Elite cannot tow.

Configuration	Gross vehicle weight	Published kerb weight	Maximum braked trailer weight
Five-seat, 51.5kWh Standard Range	2,600kg	1,990kg	750kg
Five-seat, 71.2kWh Long Range	2,600kg	2,070kg	1,500kg
Seven-seat Essential / Plus, 71.2kWh	2,710kg	2,140kg	750kg
Seven-seat Elite, 71.2kWh	2,710kg	2,140kg	0kg — towing not permitted

The guide lists a maximum roof load of 100kg for both seating versions; maximum towball weight is to be confirmed. People, luggage, accessories and towball load count towards permitted vehicle weights. Confirm the plated limits, approved towing equipment and exact specification before ordering or towing.

Battery and Charging Options for Your Journeys

The 51.5kWh Standard Range battery is available on the five-seat Essential and can suit regular local travel with convenient charging. The 71.2kWh Long Range battery is available across all three grades and is the only battery offered with seven seats, giving you more flexibility for longer routes.

Both batteries support AC charging at home or work and rapid DC charging when travelling. The published charging times below help you compare the options, with actual charging performance depending on the charger, battery temperature and state of charge.

WLTP figures are for comparison. Actual range varies with passengers, luggage, temperature, speed, terrain, driving style and use of heating or other equipment. The seven-seat range is preliminary: Kia’s live UK pricing page currently shows its final range as TBC. Charging times depend on the supply, charger output, vehicle charging limits, battery temperature and state of charge. A suitable three-phase 11kW supply is required for the quoted 11kW AC times.

Essential, Plus or Elite: Choose Your Level of Comfort

Essential: A Well-equipped Starting Point

Essential brings together the features you use every day, including touchscreen navigation, wireless smartphone integration, automatic air conditioning and smart entry.

A powered tailgate, electrically folding mirrors and wireless phone charging add convenience, while Vehicle-to-Load capability and an interior three-pin socket let you power compatible equipment. Additional blind-spot, rear cross-traffic and exit-warning assistance supports busy journeys.

V2L requires compatible equipment and may require an appropriate accessory.

Kia’s 7-year Warranty: Confidence for the Journeys Ahead

The Kia PV5 Passenger is backed by Kia’s 7-year/100,000-mile manufacturer’s warranty, giving you reassurance for family travel and everyday business use. Remaining cover can transfer to subsequent owners, subject to Kia’s conditions. Separate high-voltage battery capacity cover extends to 8 years/100,000 miles, with a 70% capacity threshold at that limit; the current model-year terms also specify an 80% threshold at 5 years/60,000 miles. Cover is subject to Kia’s servicing requirements, terms and exclusions, and some components have shorter cover periods. Taxi and private-hire use has specific registration and mileage conditions, which our team can explain before you order.
