Our new Kia PBV Centre is now open at Levens

Dedicated electric van sales and aftersales, now at Lloyd Kia South Lakes

  • New PBV Centre now open at our Lloyd Kia South Lakes site in Levens, alongside our Kia car showroom
  • Kia PV5 available in Cargo, Crew and Passenger variants
  • Prices from £27,645 (+VAT), and the Zero Emission Van Grant takes a further £5,000 off

We’re delighted to announce that our second Kia PBV Centre has opened its doors in Levens, Cumbria. Based within our existing Lloyd Kia South Lakes showroom, it’s a new home for all-electric vans and people carriers, and a big step forward in our partnership with Kia UK.

We’ve been proud to partner with Kia since September 2019, and today we look after customers from three Lloyd Kia retailers across the North West. Adding a second PBV Centre means even more businesses and families across the region can get the right vehicle, backed by people they know and trust.

Dedicated support for your business

Our PBV Centre gives commercial customers a specialist team for both sales and aftersales, so whether you’re choosing your first electric van or adding to an existing fleet, you’ll have expert advice from the first conversation through to servicing.

The PV5 only arrived at the end of 2025, and has already been named 2026 International Van of the Year. The range is growing, too, with the new PV5 Passenger people carrier joining the line-up, and the larger PV7 van due to arrive next year. Every PV5 comes with Kia’s 7-year / 100,000-mile warranty as standard, just like Kia’s car range.
 

What our team says

Steve Trickett, Franchise Director said: “Kia is one of the best brands in the business, and demand for the PV5 has been incredible, so we’re really excited to open our second PBV Centre. With the PV5 now eligible for government grants, it’s an even stronger choice for businesses and families across the North West.”

Simon Hetherington, Commercial Director at Kia UK, added: “We’re delighted to be working with Lloyd Motor Group as we continue to lead our PBV commercial vehicle strategy. Our network of PBV Centres means customers get the vital support they need. The South Lakes centre will cover everything from sales to aftersales and servicing in the region, and will play an important part in our plans, including the arrival of the PV7 next year.”
