Better than the ID.Buzz? Kia PV5 Passenger - Review And Drive

Welcome to our full review and first drive of the Kia PV5 Passenger version! ​Filmed in Marbella, Spain, this is the people-carrier version of Kia's new Purpose-Built Vehicle (PBV) and the electric van that is ready to challenge the Volkswagen ID.Buzz. We take a close look at the exterior, dive into the spacious and smart interior, and get behind the wheel to see if Kia has created the ultimate electric family hauler. With acres of space, car-like comfort, and a focus on efficiency, this might be the most tempting large EV coming to market. ​Video Chapters (Timings) ​[00:00] Intro & The ID.Buzz Competitor Question ​[00:13] Dimensions, Wheels & Design Overview ​[00:30] Front Look, Lighting & Charging Specs (10-80% in 30 mins) ​[01:05] Performance, Range (412 km WLTP) & Towing (1500 kg Braked) ​[01:44] Front Cabin Interior & Seat Features ​[02:24] Driver & Infotainment Screens (7.5" & 12.9") ​[03:05] Console Storage, Wireless Charging & Connectivity ​[04:23] Rear Cabin Access & Acres of Passenger Space ​[04:55] Passenger Windows & ID.Buzz Improvements (Manual Slider) ​[05:41] Power Tailgate & Boot Space Overview ​[06:34] Folding the Rear Seats Flat ​[08:06] Driving Impressions!
