Kia will participate in the '2026 Busan Mobility Show' held at BEXCO in Busan from June 26 to July 5, 2026, unveiling a new PV5 lineup and industry-specific collaboration models. At the event, Kia presented its vision for expanding electrified mobility and announced plans to expand its EV lineup to a total of 14 models, including three PBVs, by 2030.

The new PV5-based lineup first unveiled at this Mobility Show includes three models: Passenger 7-seater (2-2-3), Prime, and Cargo High Roof. The PV5 Passenger 7-seater features a second-row seat arranged to one side to enhance third-row boarding and alighting convenience, catering to mobility service demands such as multi-passenger family cars and shuttle buses. It is equipped with a rear-seat air conditioning system, heated seats, and USB Type-C ports. The PV5 Prime is a conversion model featuring independent rear seats, rails, and ventilated seats. It adopts exclusive colors such as MoonScape Matte Gray and Snow White Pearl, along with alloy wheels and exclusive emblems. The PV5 Cargo High Roof increases interior height by 295mm compared to the existing Cargo Long model and offers a walk-through function as an option, allowing movement between the driver's seat and the work area.

In addition, Kia showcased six collaboration models currently under development with major clients and PBV conversion partners, leveraging platform flexibility. The 'AI Patrol Car' developed with the National Police Agency is equipped with three 4K-level AI cameras, a drone station, and indoor and outdoor monitors. The 'Mobile Pet Pop-up Store,' developed in collaboration with Fitpet and K-Ban, features an open-side vehicle design and storage modules. The 'Mobile Bank,' developed with KC Motor, includes a rotating desk and additional batteries, enabling use as a mobile office. The 'Bike Transport Vehicle,' developed in collaboration with Boga and Ducati Korea, incorporates rails and racks inside. Also on display were the 'Children's School Bus,' currently under development with iBus, and the 'Ice Cream Truck,' based on the PV5 chassis cab with special equipment fabrication handled by Primo. The collaboration models are scheduled for sequential release after the second half of this year.

Kia's exhibition space is divided into three areas: 'EV Gallery,' 'PBV Village,' and 'PV5 Partners Zone,' with a total of 16 vehicles on display. The EV Gallery features seven EV lineup models: EV3, EV4 GT, EV5, EV6 GT, EV9, and Vision Metamorphosis. The PBV Village and Partners Zone display nine PBV vehicles, including PV5 derivatives and special equipment models.

On-site, experiential programs for visitors are also being operated. Marketing targeting family customers is being conducted through a photo zone and performances utilizing the global IP 'Baby Pinkfong' from The Pinkfong Company, as well as an ice cream truck developed in collaboration with Ben & Jerry's.
