The Kia PBV-based "PV5 Family (PV5 Passenger)" recorded a real-world driving distance of 420km, surpassing its official certified range during an electric vehicle performance test in Europe.
Kia Europe announced that the PV5 Family model completed verification of real-world efficiency and charging speed at the "NAF El Frie Summer Test," jointly organized by the Norwegian Automobile Federation (NAF) and the automotive media outlet "Motor." The evaluation was conducted by driving the same route simultaneously from a fully charged battery until depletion under harsh actual road conditions.
The PV5 Family deployed for the test is a long-range battery model with a capacity of 71.2kWh. The vehicle's officially certified driving range in Korea is 358km. Meanwhile, its European WLTP certified range is 256 miles (approximately 412km), but the test achieved a longer real-world distance of 260 miles (approximately 420km). The energy efficiency measured during driving was 4.5 miles/kWh (13.8kWh/100km), placing it among the top five vehicles in the family car category based on error rate standards among test subjects.
Furthermore, a Kia Europe PBV division official explained that this independent institutional investor test demonstrated that the PV5 Family meets everyday mobility requirements for both urban and long-distance driving.
