Kia PV5 Cargo and Passenger: Preview Day at Derby Academy

Emma Wilkinson, our Senior Key Account Manager visited the Kia Academy in Derby to get a first glimpse of the new PV5 Cargo and PV5 Passenger all electric vans.

Business Specialists and Managers attended the day to see the vehicles and learn more about the upcoming range of Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) vans, with presentations and talks from various Kia heads of department. The official launch of the PV5 Cargo and Passenger will be the 3^rd November and demo’s will be available at the Lloyd Kia Dealership.
 

Emma Wilkinson, Senior Key Account Manager at Lloyd Motor Group commented:

"It was great to visit the brand-new Kia Academy for the first time. The facilities are impressive, and the new apprentice workshop is fully equipped with everything needed for training. The day was really well structured, and seeing the PV5 Cargo and Passenger vehicles in person was especially valuable. It gave me a real sense of their size, space, and onboard equipment. We also received a lot of up-to-date information, covering everything from marketing plans to the official launch dates, including future models in the PVB range. I'm genuinely looking forward to selling these products...they bring something quite unique to the market!"

The Kia PV5 Cargo reimagines vehicle design with space-saving solutions, fast-access features, and load-ready practicality.

The Kia PV5 Passenger introduces modular thinking, intuitive comfort, and everyday flexibility blending work, travel, and rest into one seamless space.

Lloyd Kia Carlisle is proud to announce they are a PBV Centre, where sales and after sales services for its PBV commercial vehicle range will exclusively be available.
