On the 31st, Kia revealed for the first time the teaser images and video of 'The Kia PV7', its second model in the electrified PBV (Platform Beyond Vehicle) lineup.

The PV7 is a large-scale PBV model developed based on E-GMP.S (Electric-Global Modular Platform for Service), Kia's dedicated electric vehicle platform for PBVs. As it targets the large vehicle class, the design focuses on meeting diverse business and lifestyle needs. Its one-box silhouette features contrasting colors between the hood and pillar garnishes. The PV7 is built on the E-GMP.S platform.

Kia will make its world premiere of the PV7 at IAA Transportation 2026, the world's largest commercial vehicle exhibition, held in Hanover, Germany, from September 14 to 20. According to industry sources, Kia has begun organizing a press delegation for the trip to Hanover. The press group is expected to learn about the PV7 unveiling, along with Kia's PBV strategy and vision, as well as receive information on various PV5 derivative models during the event.

Meanwhile, the PV5 launched last year was selected as '2026 International Van of the Year (IVOTY)' at the commercial vehicle exhibition 'Solutrans 2025' held in Lyon, France, in November 2025 — marking the first time a Korean brand has received this honor. As of August this year, global sales have reached approximately 39,000 units.
